Gates have always been an element of home decor, garage. They can not only decorate, but also complement the overall design of the fence around the site. This is especially true when a country house and a garage make up a single complex. However, each owner of his own home tries not only to embellish the existing building, but also to secure it.
Everyone knows such types of gates as swing gates . They have proven their practicality with time, but not many have the opportunity to use them. They require enough space to open in front of the garage. And what if it is not? There are many alternatives. For example, lifting gates for a garage. These models have become very common in our country and are quite durable and reliable, moreover, they do not require free space during operation.
Kinds
Like any mechanism, the lifting gate for the garage has several types: lifting and swinging, sectional, rolling. All of them are united by the principle of work - lifting the door leaf. And now a little more.
Rolled (roll) types have the lowest level of strength, but are able to protect against penetration by outsiders or animals. Despite their obvious minus, they also have advantages. For their manufacture, aluminum is used, which is absolutely harmless to any living creatures. Thanks to industrial processing, they have a high anticorrosion characteristic and will perfectly tolerate heat, sun, frost and rain. Lifting gates for this type of garage can be used even in extremely harsh conditions. This is due to the principle of operation. When opening (from the remote control), the door leaf begins to wind up on the shaft, which, in turn, is located in a special protective box. The sectional garage door is also functional and safe. They have higher strength, and their use in a heated room keeps its own microclimate inside. They also do not need free space in front of the building to be in working condition. This type of gate consists of sandwich panels which, when hoisted, are located along the ceiling plane. These canvases will serve as additional protection for the entire structure, as they are made of high quality sheet steel . Inside them there is a layer of heat insulator. They, like all lifting gates for the garage, are not afraid of atmospheric phenomena.
One more model should be added to this decent series. This is a pivoting garage door. They, like the previous view, when opening, place the canvas over the ceiling, but it is here that the difference between them is visible. They need a little free space in front of the entrance to open. The fact is that this model has a single cast web that cannot be folded, but rises entirely. This type of door is considered the most durable of all due to its design. All models have worked well. The choice mainly depends on the possibilities, climatic conditions.
