A lot of older garages can be quite limited in terms of space. If your garage is not large enough to accommodate a roller door or a sectional garage door, it may be time to look at installing a tilt garage door. Steel-Line tilt garage doors offer the perfect solution for smaller garages or spaces with restricted side or head room, without compromising on style. As the garage door is often the most prominent feature of your home or building, it is important to choose one that is functional and practical for your specific needs while complementing the design and overall appearance of your home.
The tilt garage door provides the largest range of exterior design and finish options for your home. The choice of materials is almost as varied as your imagination allows, and commonly includes plywood and moulding, Western Red Cedar, aluminium composite cladding, and copper sheeting. You can even add windows and personal access doors to your tilt door.
The tilt door is built in a single panel and reinforced by an internal steel frame. It opens outwards, on a tilt, swinging upwards until fully open. This allows a tilting-style door to be installed and manufactured to fit spaces of virtually any size. Our tilt doors offer the perfect solution for that specialty appearance up to 2.4m high x 5.5m wide and where garages have restricted side or headroom. The maximum weight for tilt doors with cladding is 175 kg. All the tilt doors are individually designed and manufactured to suit the exact size of our client’s garage opening. Should floors slope from one side to the other, the door panel can be manufactured to incorporate an angled bottom rail, or taper, to assist in fitting the garage opening precisely and provide the best finish.
