Roller Shutter Doors

It's beginning to get cold and I've started thinking about making the garage a more comfortable place to work.  Firstly I need to plug all the drafts and the gaps around the frame and especially at the bottom of the up-and-over garage doors and perhaps add some insulation to the door panels.

Another problem with up-and-over doors is the frame the doors slide on.  These take up space and can get in the way when using the scissor lift.


I decided to get some insulated electric roller shutter doors from STS Garage Doors and installed them with the help of a few friends.

As well as being electric they also have foam filled slats and the mechanism takes up very little space.

They also allow for a wider and taller opening then the previous up-and-over system which really makes this a win-win in every respect.  Plus STS are cheaper then most of the others out there and nice to deal with in my experience.
