Side hinged garage doors tend to be used on more traditional properties. They are perfect for use on garages and outbuildings that accompany older houses, or new build houses that have been given a modern appearance. If you are thinking about having a side hinged door, this could be a good option for your property.
A side hinged garage door’s main purpose is to look aesthetically pleasing. Of course, it will also be functional and will go a long way to helping keep the garage well insulated, warm and protected. If this was your primary concern though, you would probably choose something like an up and over door or even a sectional door. By choosing a side hinged door, you are making it clear that aesthetic is your top priority.
Side hinged doors tend to be made from timber. There will be lots of different finishes available, so find one that works for you. Look at the type of wood and its durability above all.
