Novoferm professional advice on installation, retrofitting and maintenance

Novoferm therefore offers a wide selection of sectional overhead doors with a door and also with a window. For a new construction, you can opt for a sectional door with a hinged door or a side door with the same appearance as the roller garage door.
If you want to be inspired by the experiences of others with a sectional door with a door, the experts at Novoferm can also retrofit the door with a door. Find out here what Novoferm professionals recommend for the installation, modernisation and maintenance of sectional overhead doors with flaps!
WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN INSTALLING A SECTIONAL DOOR WITH DOOR!
You can have a roller garage door with door installed by a professional or install a sectional overhead door with door yourself. Before installation, follow this important advice from a professional: "A sectional overhead door with door can only be installed on the finished floor and in the finished opening. Keep in mind the minimum height and width required for the garage".
CAN THE SWING DOOR ALSO BE MOUNTED ON THE SECTIONAL GATE?
Do you want to enter your garage through a door, but have no space for a side door? In this case, the experts at Novoferm confirm that you can retrofit a swing door. You can choose between a sectional garage door with a door and window or a sectional garage door with a door without a window.
Our professional advice: Novoferm renovation doors can be installed in most garage openings. No conversion or customisation is required!
After installing a sectional door with a swing door, some companies have found that the door even meets the legal requirements for an escape door. Our tip: Ask the relevant authorities about the applicable regulations regarding door height, width and threshold in order to obtain authorisation as an escape door!
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE SECTIONAL GATE WITH THE DOOR
The good news from the expert is that: "You will not have to spend a lot of time maintaining your Novoferm sectional door with door". Most of the surfaces of the roller garage doors with door are finish-coated. If you opt for an integrated swing door, the uniform appearance of the sectional garage door with door will be maintained for a long time.
You only need to regularly remove dirt and dust from the slots and sliding area of the sectional garage door with door to ensure undisturbed operation. "Do not use abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning, just a soft cloth and a little water," explains the Novoferm professional.
WHAT NOVOFERM PROFESSIONALS SAY ABOUT THE SECTIONAL DOOR WITH DOOR
The experts at Novoferm have already installed numerous doors in private and company garages. Based on their experience, the experts can state that sectional overhead doors with hinged doors offer the following advantages over garage doors without doors:
- The swing door allows easy access to the garage without having to open the entire garage door.
- Under certain conditions, the swing door can also be used as an escape door.
- The door can be opened inwards or outwards. If it is an escape door, it must always open outwards.
- The connection between the door and the garage door is thermally separated and repels wind and water. This saves energy and ensures a long service life of the sectional door with door.
