Garage doors have evolved over time, and whilst many homes in the Sheffield area still have a manual garage door, the automatic garage door is a force to be reckoned with as our biggest seller. But what are the differences between an automatic and manual garage door and which one is best for you and your Sheffield home?
Automatic Garage Doors:
- Easy to operate
- Safe to use for those who need assistance with larger objects
- Come with a sensor to ensure they don’t fall on anyone
- Offer good security
- Come in different sizes, colours and materials
- Can be insulated
- Are much more expensive than manual garage doors
- Take a long time to install
- Need much more maintenance and cleaning than manual garage doors
Manual Garage Doors:
- Are cheaper to purchase
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Come in a range of colours, sizes and materials
- Can be insulated
- Offer good security
- Difficult to operate
- Can be more dangerous in harsh weather conditions if open
Although there are not a lot of differences between automatic and manual garage doors in terms of security, colours and materials, it can be said that automatic garage doors are much easier to control and operate.
