Benefits of Up and Over Garage Doors
One of the most popular types among our customers is up and over garage doors.
A classic design in the industry, this traditional garage door is one that most people are familiar with. Simple and easy to operate, up and over garage doors seamlessly open above your head – hence the term ‘up and over’.
They are also known as canopy garage doors, as it forms a small canopy above your head and protrudes from the opening onto your driveway when fully open.

Electric Up and Over Garage Doors
As well as the traditional up and over garage doors, we also provide a more contemporary offering in the form of our automated up and over garage doors.
The perfect choice for a single garage door, electric up and over garage doors operate in much the same way as their traditional counterparts. However, rather than needing to open them manually, they do so electronically, with a push of a button. These doors come in the form of a retractable garage door, which instead of opening like a “canopy” retract fully into the garage on tracks, allowing them to be fitted with a garage door motor.
