Is Electric Garage Door Installation Regulated?
Yes, electric garage door installation is regulated and requires adherence to specific standards. At Great Garage Doors, we ensure compliance with UK safety regulations such as the Machinery Directive and CE marking requirements.
We also follow the BS EN 13241-1 standard, which specifies the performance and safety features for doors used in industrial, commercial, and residential settings.
Our team uses high-grade materials like galvanised steel and weather-resistant finishes, along with sophisticated control systems that ensure safe and reliable operation. We employ precision equipment for installation, such as laser alignment tools, to achieve optimal fit and function.
Installations typically take a day to complete, allowing us to examine alignment, force limits, and emergency release features. By choosing us, you rest assured that your installation meets all necessary safety and performance criteria.
How Much Does an Electric Garage Door Cost?
Electric garage doors typically cost between £800 and £2,500, depending on the style and specifications. For instance, sectional doors often fall on the higher end due to their design and insulation properties.
The material used, such as steel, aluminium, or wood, can greatly affect the price, with wood offering aesthetic appeal but requiring more maintenance. Door dimensions are another vital factor: larger doors like those suitable for double garages will naturally incur higher costs.
Bespoke design elements, like window inserts or custom finishes, also impact the final price.
In addition to these, the choice of motor, such as quiet belt-drive or durable chain-drive systems, and smart technology integration, like Wi-Fi connectivity or app controls, can further influence costs. Installation and warranty packages may also contribute to the overall expense.
