A Detailed Overview of the Latest Modern garage Door System
Overlap garage doors are specially designed garage doors which provide the same benefits as a normally sectional door. The only difference is the fact that they are able to vertically open plus they operate without any form of internal / ceiling tracking. These doors are purposefully made and have so far proven to provide excellent security as well as insulation. In fact, in addition to all of the above, these doors also reduce internal intrusion by up to 50%.
Another good thing about this type of doors is the fact that: the resulting internal space that is created makes it very easy to take full advantage of the garage space plus door clearance is significantly optimized not only in height but also in width. As strange as it may sound, these garage doors only require 200 mm headroom. It is equally interesting to note that: the overlap system on the other hand is fitted with the Silmotion operator fixed in the head-bar. Generally speaking, overlap garage door systems operate without any visible tracks.
