The biggest advantages of an automatic garage door!

 Forget about tedious manual opening and closing of the garage door!

Quick and seamless use is one of the most important benefits of installing an automatic mechanism. Thanks to it, you can – once and for – all get rid of tedious manual opening and closing of heavy garage doors. This function is turned on remotely (using a remote control or a mobile app), so you don’t need to get our of your car or home. You will appreciate it – especially when the weather is bad – as you will not need to go out in the rain, cold and other unpleasant weather conditions.

An automatic garage door definitely improves the comfort of everyday life, but it sometimes also helps users to be more independent. It removes barriers for people with disabilities and elderly people, who can open and close their garage doors without any assistance.

The ability to remotely control the opening and closing of the door is just one of the advantages of installing an automatic mechanism. Other equally important advantages include:

• increasing burglar resistance – an electric drive effectively blocks the closed garage door and makes it virtually impossible to lift it manually (even when you use force);
• improving safety of use – door closing automatically stops when an obstacle is detected, be it a car or a child (sensors connected to the electric drive controller are responsible for this);
• making the building look better – an automatic door doesn’t have a handle or a lock; so, on the outside, its surface is uniform and goes well with the facade of the building.

Automatic garage doors and smart home systems!

An automatic garage door can be integrated with a smart home system, which results in increased functionality.

The ability to manage the door in an app on your phone allows you, for example, to:

• make sure you closed the door – even when you are away – and, if necessary, close it remotely without having to go back home;
• get rid of the remote control for the electric drive, which can easily be left somewhere or even lost;
• integrate the garage door with the alarm system you have at home – any unauthorised opening of the door sets off the alarm and generates a message that you immediately get in the app.

What should you look for when choosing a garage door?

If you are planning to install a garage door and would like it to be fitted with an electric drive, make sure that the door is designed to be integrated with an automatic mechanism. You should also pay attention to the technical specifications of the selected model. The most important specifications include:

• type of material used to make the door – in the case of automatic garage doors, aluminum is a great choice because it is lightweight, extremely durable, weather-resistant and environmentally friendly (as a recyclable material);
• heat transfer coefficient – the lower the coefficient, the better the thermal insulation, which makes it easier to maintain the optimal temperature in your garage all year round;
• finishing method – the paint should not only look good, but also have adequate resistance to weathering, mechanical damage and abrasion.

Which electric garage door is the best?

If you want to use an electric drive, roll-up garage doors are, by far, the best choice because their weight is relatively low. Made of good quality materials, they have high burglar resistance, help improve thermal comfort in the building and are durable. Another advantage of these doors is that when they are opened, they take up minimum space, meaning there is more room in the garage.
