Awnings and garage doors & gates

It remains a difficult marriage

The combination can and does exist, but it remains a difficult marriage between awnings and garage doors and gates. At least for the awning specialist. But the two suppliers presenting themselves in this modest topic offer hope! For both heroal and Soprofen are not only manufacturers of garage doors and gates, but also prominent producers of shutters and awnings. Perhaps this can help to convince the sun protection specialist that the garage also belongs and offers sales opportunities.

The garage doors closest to the awning specialist are probably the roller shutters, because they are basically large roller shutters. Heroal has them in its range and introduces them in this topic Garage Gates & Doors. They have some advantages, but also the disadvantage of being less insulating. Of course, if the garage is heated, that is a disadvantage in these times when energy conservation is becoming increasingly important. On the other hand, especially if a home has shutters, of course an advantage of a roller door is that it visually matches the shutters nicely. This gives a home a nice, unified facade appearance. 

For its part, Soprofen presents its sectional doors for garages. Its panels are thicker and can therefore be better insulated. sectional doors are the most commonly used garage doors today, although there is also a tendency to opt for swinging garage doors because they allow easier access to the garage, for example to put a bicycle or the lawn mower inside. 

Soprofen also has a number of lateral sectional doors in its range. Instead of horizontal, they have vertical panels, allowing them to be easily opened slightly to provide the same functionality as a swinging garage door. A successful compromise, therefore.
