I intend to replace my "up and over" single garage door. I am considering replacing it with a twin walled aluminium insulated roller shutter door (such as the Seceuroglide) because:
- It will provide good weatherproofing in an exposed position
- Automatic operation is a convenience when the garage is my only off road parking
- The lack of a frame means a larger opening provides easier access
- The open door will not be an obstruction to the open car tailgate
Appearance is a relatively minor consideration.
I do however have concerns about how rugged such a door will be, given the comparatively lightweight construction. My garage faces a service road, and kids games of football or cricket inevitably end up with balls hitting hard against garage doors. The reality is that I have limited control over such activities.
Does anyone have any comments - as this must be a fairly common situation. I am not too concerned about minor paint damage or scuffing, but rather the door becoming damaged such that it will not function correctly.
