Garage Door Servicing RequirementsCreating a Truly Flat Door
Garador takes pride on producing quality doors and openers.
Some things are out of our control – like the direct heat of the sun and seasonal temperatures that can cause irregularities in the door panel surface (due to thermal expansion). The colour you choose can also play a part.
When we produce our doors, we make every effort to take this into account and minimize the effect of thermal expansion across the door.
For a more consistent flatter door, we recommend either a Sierra or the negative detailed Nevada, both produced from heavy-gauged steel.
Talk to your Local Garador Dealer for further advice around your requirements and expectations.
