| When looking for a garage
door, you notice that there are two major designs: tilt-up
doors and sectional roll-up doors. Sectional roll-up doors
are more expensive than tilt-up doors, but the extra cost
is well worth it.
Tilt-up doors consist of a single panel of material. To
open the door, you have to pull it out and pivot it up to
slide it along the roof of your garage. Sectional roll-up
doors, on the other hand, are made of a number of horizontal
sections. Each section is hinged to the next section, allowing
the door a certain degree of flexibility. Because the door
is mounted on rollers, to open a sectional roll-up door
you just have to lift the door and it will roll into place
along the roof of your garage.
Sectional roll-up doors are superior to tilt-up doors.
From a purely practical point they take up less room. Because
you don’t have to pull the door out, there will be
more room in front of your garage door for things like your
car. The door will also take up less room in the garage,
since it can be placed higher up than a tilt-up door.
