Sectional garage doors in Alicante

We make and install insulated sandwich-panel sectional garage doors for villa and townhouse garages. They rise vertically and tuck away under the ceiling, so they never swing out into the street or take up space in front of the car. Each one is made to fit your opening, with the motor included.

What it involves

A sectional garage door is made up of several horizontal panels joined by hinges. As it opens, the panels run up side tracks and stack parallel to the ceiling, so the door never swings outwards and needs no space at the sides. You can park right up against it and open it even when someone is walking past on the pavement. That is why it is the most requested door today for villas, townhouses and new-build homes.

We make them from insulated sandwich panels: two steel sheets with polyurethane foam injected between them, giving a rigid, lightweight leaf that insulates far better than a single sheet. You choose the panel design, ribbed, flat or raised panel, and whether you want windows or a built-in pedestrian door. We adapt the tracks to your garage, even if it has little headroom, a sloping ceiling or beams in the way.

Every door leaves our workshop with its motor, springs calculated for the real weight of the leaf and the safety systems that daily use calls for. We leave it up and running, with the remote controls programmed, and show you how to release it by hand if the power ever goes off.

Sectional garage doors: jobs we do

These are the jobs we are asked for most. If yours looks like one of them, call us and we will tell you how we would handle it.

Motorised sectional garage door for a villa

At a villa, the garage usually opens onto the plot or a driveway ramp, and the door is used several times a day, almost always from the car. We fit the sectional door with a ceiling-mounted motor, made-to-measure tracks and remote controls, so you can open it without getting out and the leaf rises vertically without blocking the driveway. We calculate the springs for the real weight of the door, so the motor runs without strain and, with the manual release, the door moves easily by hand. If the façade calls for it, we combine it with windows or a pedestrian door so you can walk in without opening the whole leaf.

Ribbed sandwich-panel sectional garage door

This is the most popular design: panels with horizontal ribs running across the door from side to side, giving it a sober, sturdy look. We make it with several ribs per panel, which draw lots of fine lines, or with a single central rib, which leaves more smooth surface and looks good on wide façades. The lines also help to hide small marks from everyday use. Because it is made of sandwich panel, the leaf is rigid and stands up to knocks better than a single sheet. It can be combined with windows in the top panel and with a pedestrian door, and it is the safest choice if you are still unsure which design to go for.

Flat-panel sectional garage door for modern homes

Flat panels, with no ribs, form a continuous surface that suits façades with clean lines, white render and the large window frames of new-build homes. With the door closed, all you see are the horizontal joints between panels, thin and aligned, and the garage no longer breaks up the façade. If you want to walk in without opening the leaf, we build the pedestrian door into the same flat panel. For south-facing garages the colour is worth thinking about, because a dark panel in the Alicante sun gets much hotter than a light one; we look at it together during the visit, taking into account which way your house actually faces.

Sectional garage door with a built-in pedestrian door

If you use the garage as your way into the house, to get the bike out or to take the rubbish down, opening the whole door every time is a nuisance and wears the motor. The pedestrian door is built into the sectional door's own panels, with its own lock and handle, and opens like an ordinary door without moving the main leaf. It has a safety contact that stops the motor from starting while it is open, so nobody can operate the door with the pedestrian door out of place. We make it from the same panel as the rest of the leaf, with the threshold as low as possible so you don't trip as you step through.

Low-headroom sectional garage door

Headroom is the stretch of wall between the top of the opening and the ceiling. A standard sectional door needs some space there for the panels to turn and for the spring shaft, and in many house and townhouse garages that space is minimal, especially when there is a beam or a floor slab right above. For those garages we fit low-headroom tracks, with the springs in a different position, so the door fits while making the most of the clearance height. We measure it during the visit along with the ceiling depth and the sides, and tell you before manufacturing which track your garage needs.

More jobs in this service

  • Sectional garage door for a townhouse

    In townhouses the garage is usually on the ground floor or in a semi-basement, with a tight opening and the home above. A sectional door makes use of the full width, rises without encroaching on the shared pavement, and its insulated panel holds back the heat passing from the garage into the house.

  • Double garage sectional door with no central pillar

    For two-car garages we make wide single-leaf sectional doors, with reinforced panels and springs calculated for that width. You drive both cars in and out without manoeuvring, with no pillar in the middle to dodge, and open the whole front with a single remote.

  • Two sectional doors for a garage with a central pillar

    If the garage has a structural pillar in the middle of the front, we fit two identical sectional doors, one for each space, with the same panel and the joints at the same height so the façade looks tidy. Each door opens separately, with its own remote or with two buttons on the same one.

  • Sectional garage door for a sloping ceiling

    In houses with a single-pitch roof or garages tucked under a staircase, the ceiling is not flat. We adapt the horizontal tracks to the slope of the ceiling so the door stores tight against it and doesn't eat into the clear height inside the garage.

  • Side-sliding sectional garage door

    On a side-sliding sectional door the panels are vertical and the leaf slides to one side along the wall, so the ceiling stays clear. You can open just a section to walk through or get the motorbike out, and it works well when there is a plain wall on one side of the opening.

  • Sectional garage door for a semi-basement garage with a ramp

    When the garage is at the bottom of a ramp, a sectional door rises vertically without tilting outwards, so you can wait on the slope with the car right up against the door without worrying about the leaf hitting the bonnet. When closed, its insulated panel keeps the semi-basement at a milder temperature.

  • Sectional garage door for a garage with little side room

    A sectional door's tracks are fixed to the sides of the opening, on the reveals. If the side wall is very close or there is a pillar right next to the opening, we use slim-profile tracks and fixings and adjust the position of the door so it fits without cutting into the wall.

  • Sectional garage door for an uneven floor

    If the floor of the opening isn't level or falls towards the street, the door doesn't sit evenly across its width and leaves a gap that lets in air, leaves and insects. We adjust the bottom panel and its rubber seal to the real floor profile so it closes flush from side to side.

  • Sectional garage door for a new-build home

    If you are building your house, it pays to choose the door before the opening is finished. We visit the site and tell you what headroom, reveals and ceiling depth to leave and where to put the power socket for the motor, so the sectional door can be fitted without last-minute alterations.

  • Sectional garage door for a garage with beams or pipes on the ceiling

    A dropped beam, a downpipe or ventilation ducts can cross the path of the horizontal tracks. We measure them during the visit and lower or reroute the tracks, or choose a different type of hardware, so the door opens fully without touching anything.

  • Sectional garage door for a high ceiling or a car lift

    In garages with high ceilings, the tracks can take the leaf vertically up the wall before it turns, instead of storing it just above the lintel. That leaves the ceiling clear for a car lift, a mezzanine or tall shelving, and the door opens just as smoothly.

  • Sectional door for a steel-frame garage or lightweight roof

    In garages built from steel sections, panel roofing or timber beams, there isn't always a solid slab to hang the tracks from. We fit our own mounting frame that spreads the weight of the door and the motor, and the sectional door works just as it would in a masonry garage.

What you get with us

  • Make the most of your space

    The leaf rises vertically and stores under the ceiling: you park right up against the door, you don't block the pavement when it opens, and the garage walls stay free for shelving.

  • A cooler garage in summer

    The insulated sandwich panel and perimeter seals hold back the heat coming in through the door, something you notice in the garage and in the home above or next to it.

  • Safety every time it moves

    An anti-drop system for springs and cables, photocells that stop the door if there is an obstacle, and finger-safe joints between panels that protect children and older people.

  • Written warranty and European standard

    We give you a written 3-year warranty on the door and 5 years on the motor, and our doors comply with the UNE-EN 13241-1 standard for garage doors.

How we do it, step by step

  1. Garage visit and measurement

    We come to your garage, measure the opening, headroom, sides and ceiling depth, and check the floor and the power supply to decide which type of track you need.

  2. Free quote within 24 hours

    We send you a free quote with the model, panel design and accessories you have chosen. If it suits you, you can pay for it with interest-free finance.

  3. Made to measure

    We make the panels, tracks and springs to the real measurements and weight of your door, and prepare it so it can be fitted without improvised adjustments on site.

  4. Installed in one day

    Our own team, with no subcontractors, fits the door in one day, leaves the garage clean and takes away the packaging and installation waste.

  5. Commissioning and handover

    We test the door with the motor and by hand, adjust the photocells and limit switches, programme your remote controls and show you how to use the manual release.

Sectional garage doors in Alicante province

In the province of Alicante, the sectional door has become the standard choice for villas and townhouses on the urbanisations of Mutxamel, San Vicente del Raspeig and El Campello, for the bungalows of Gran Alacant and for new-build homes on the outskirts of Elche. Many of those garages are in semi-basements at the bottom of a ramp, and when the gota fría storms hit, water runs straight down towards the door. That is why we pay close attention to the bottom seal and how it meets the floor, and before fitting we check where the ramp drains.

The sun is the other factor. A door facing south or west takes many hours of sunshine in summer and, if the garage connects to the house, the insulated sandwich panel makes a real difference to the temperature inside. On the seafront, at Playa de San Juan, Santa Pola or along the El Campello coast, salt air attacks screws, springs and tracks, so we fit corrosion-protected hardware and explain how to rinse the door with fresh water now and then to extend its life.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us most about sectional garage doors.

Sectional garage doors: your questions

How much space do I need above the opening and at the sides?

A sectional door needs some headroom above the opening, a few centimetres on each side for the tracks and clear depth along the ceiling to store the leaf and the motor. The exact measurement depends on the type of track and the size of the door, which is why we take it during the visit. If you are short of headroom or side room, we have specific tracks for those garages and there is almost always a solution without building work.

Does a sectional garage door keep out the summer heat?

Much better than a single-sheet metal door. The sandwich panel has insulating foam between its two steel sheets and the door closes against seals at the floor, the sides and the lintel, so the sun beating on the door doesn't turn the garage into an oven. You notice it most with south- or west-facing doors and garages that connect to the house.

What happens if a spring breaks?

The springs on a sectional door work under tension and, with use, they can eventually break. That is why we fit an anti-drop system that locks the leaf instantly if a spring or cable breaks, so the door doesn't fall. If it happens to you, don't try to move it or touch the springs: call us, because we handle emergencies 24 hours a day and we will replace it with the right tools.

Can I open it by hand during a power cut?

Yes. The motor has a manual release, usually a pull cord hanging from the carriage on the ceiling, that disconnects the door from the motor. Because the springs are balanced against the weight of the leaf, you can lift it by hand without effort and reconnect it when the power comes back. At handover we show you how to do it, so you are not left wondering on the day you need it.

Can I fit a sectional door if the garage opens straight onto the pavement?

Yes, and that is one of its advantages. When it opens, the leaf rises vertically close to the opening and doesn't swing out into the street, so it won't hit passers-by or a car parked in front. Nor do you have to back away with the car for it to open: you can wait right up against the door. That is why it suits townhouses and homes with street-level garages so well.
