Steel Garage Doors in Midrand

• 0.5mm to 0.8mm galvanised sheet
• Chromadek or powder-coated to any RAL
• Roll-up, sectional or tip-up

Steel is the default garage door across most of Midrand and it deserves to be. It is strong, holds a finish, takes knocks better than aluminium of the same thickness, and costs less than any premium alternative. Most of what we fit on the Midrand housing stock is steel, and for the majority of properties it is the correct answer rather than a compromise.

Why steel garage doors suit most Midrand properties

• Strength for the money. Nothing else gives the same resistance at the price.
• Dents less readily than aluminium, which matters on a family driveway.
• Wide finish range, including profiles that read as timber from the street.
• Manageable weight, so operator and spring sizing is straightforward.

Corrosion protection on steel garage doors

Steel rusts if the coating fails, and it fails at edges, fixings and the bottom rail where water sits. On a Midrand door the bottom section takes storm splash and driveway run-off, which is exactly where we see doors fail. Galvanised substrate with a proper powder coat, and correct fixings that do not react against the coating, is the difference between eight years and eighteen.

Insulated or single skin steel garage doors

Single skin is fine for a detached or unheated garage. If the garage is integral to the house, doubles as a room, or sits under a bedroom, an insulated double-skinned door is quieter and more comfortable and usually worth the difference. Insulated doors are heavier, so the operator is sized accordingly.

Steel garage door repairs and panel replacement

Sectional steel doors have individually replaceable panels, so vehicle damage is a repair. Rust confined to the bottom section on an otherwise sound door can often be dealt with rather than replaced. We price the repair alongside the replacement and tell you which we would do.

Steel garage door finish options

Dark colours run hot on a west-facing Midrand elevation and show marks more. We tell you where a lighter or textured finish will age better, and bring samples to the survey.
