Steel Garage Doors in Roodepoort

• 0.5mm to 0.8mm galvanised sheet
• Chromadek or powder-coated to any RAL
• Roll-up, sectional or tip-up

Steel is the most common garage door material in Roodepoort for a straightforward reason: it gives the most door for the money and it takes hard use. From the older single garages through Florida, Discovery and Witpoortjie to the doubles in Weltevredenpark, Allen’s Nek and Wilgeheuwel, most of what we replace is steel and most of what we fit is steel.

Steel garage doors we supply in Roodepoort

• Steel sectional doors in ribbed, panelled and flush profiles.

Galvanised and coated finishes

Every steel door we supply is galvanised before it is coated. On the West Rand that matters, because the abrasive dust off the old mine ground scours a coating and bare steel under a scratch will bloom within a season. Galvanising underneath means a scratch stays a scratch.

Gauge, span and stiffness

A double opening in a light gauge flexes, and a flexing panel tracks badly and wears its rollers. We specify the gauge and the reinforcing for the span rather than defaulting to the same panel for every opening.

Insulated steel garage doors

An insulated steel door is stiffer, quieter and much better where the garage is a workshop, a gym or a room. On the west-facing garages that take the afternoon sun through Helderkruin, Roodekrans and Little Falls, the temperature difference is easy to feel.

Security on a steel garage door

Panel strength is only part of it. The locking, the track fixings and, on a motorised door, a drive that holds the door down are what stop a door being lifted. We fit anti-lift arrangements as standard on automated doors.

Steel or aluminium

Steel is stronger and cheaper; aluminium is lighter and does not corrode. On a working garage in a dusty area, steel with a good coating is usually the better buy. On a display elevation in a complex with appearance rules, aluminium often wins. We give you both prices.

Maintenance on a steel door

Wash the finish, touch up deep scratches before they get to the substrate, keep the tracks clear, and have the balance and operator checked annually. Done, that is a door with a very long life.
