Insulated Side Hinged
An insulated side hinged garage door offers a range of benefits that combine practicality, security, and traditional styling for your home. Unlike conventional garage doors, side hinged doors provide easy pedestrian access without the need to open the entire door, making them ideal for garages that are used as workshops, storage areas, or everyday access points. Their insulated construction helps to improve energy efficiency and maintain a more comfortable temperature within the garage throughout the year. Modern side hinged garage doors are also engineered with advanced locking systems and durable steel, providing excellent security and long-lasting performance. Available in a wide range of styles, colours, and finishes, insulated side hinged garage doors offer a perfect balance of convenience, appearance, and peace of mind.
Insulated as standard
Insulated side hinged garage doors have excellent insulation values. There are a number of options in thickness from 20mm to 60mm with thermally broken frames and a 3 chamber design to keep the drafts out. With U/values as low as 1.4W/m²K which is comparable with modern composite doors.
3 point locking
As standard all of our insulated side hinged doors come with 3 point locking apart from the 20mm where it is optional. This gives the extra security and peace of mind that what you keep inside your garage is safe for years to come.

Technical
One question we get asked regularly is about space requirements, particularly when maximising garage storage or accommodating larger vehicles. A huge advantage of side hinged doors is that there is nothing extending back into the garage keeping the space open. This leaves the ceiling space completely clear, making it ideal for lighting, storage, or simply creating a more open feel. Side room requirements can also be minimised, with installations requiring as little as 50mm per side,
Security
When it comes to security, insulated side hinged garage doors provide excellent protection for your home. As standard, they are manufactured from strong steel panels with an insulated core, creating a robust and durable barrier against forced entry. The door leafs are securely mounted within a reinforced steel frame and fitted with high-quality hinges, ensuring strength and stability throughout the entire door set. All of our insulated side hinged garage doors are fitted with multi-point locking systems as standard, securing the door at multiple locations for enhanced protection. Combined with their durable construction and advanced locking mechanisms, these features provide outstanding security and complete peace of mind that your garage and its contents are well protected.
