Complex mechanisms indoors are not always necessary. Sometimes, the best solution is classical simplicity, which allows for easy fulfilment of household needs. Side-hung garage doors are just another door set that will appear in the house. They are only slightly larger. Choose what you know well, integrate your home into classical solutions, and be assured that you are making a good choice in every scenario.
Garages with non-standard shapes, those in older buildings, and increasingly popular tunnel garages are often too demanding for sectional garage doors. They may not meet the requirements of some products available on the market. Falling back on the well-known proposition of side-hung garage doors becomes the right choice. Their requirements for garage construction are minimal, so there is no need to wonder if they will fit a particular investment. It is a given.
Side-hung garage doors have one undeniable advantage that no other doors offer. They guarantee that they will not in any way reduce the usable space in the garage. Other solutions, with sectional doors at the forefront, open into the garage interior, requiring them to occupy at least part of the space under the ceiling or along the wall. Side-hung doors do not have such a requirement.
Simple, economical, and traditional solutions do not have to be boring. When they are based on advanced aluminium and steel systems, they mesmerise. In the side-hung garage doors offered by Eko-Okna, it is possible to achieve a very interesting aesthetic using glazing and aluminium sections. In combination with a rich range of colours and numerous accessories, doors of this type can serve as a full-fledged showcase for any home.
There are many reasons to choose side-hung garage doors. This traditional, well-proven solution is, above all, universal, becoming almost always a suitable, safe choice regardless of the existing conditions. All you need is space in front of the garage for the leaf to operate freely. That's all. There is no need to measure the garage entrance and its interior meticulously to check if the chosen door can be installed there. Side-hung garage doors are an attractive solution for everyone.
Side-hung garage doors are valued for their unique features. Often highlighted is that they do not restrict the space within the garage in any way, allowing every square metre to be safely utilised.
Such doors open outward. Leaves of such doors swing outwards, and little to no elements of their construction appear inside. Other types of doors always employ the interior in some way. With sectional doors, for instance, there's a need to leave space under the ceiling or next to the wall, reducing the effective height or narrowing the garage. Similarly, with up-and-over doors, the movement of the door and its position when open also diminish the space.
Roller doors are an exception, of course, but they are not as representative and durable as their single or double-leaf classic counterparts. In many cases, there's also no possibility to install them, making side-hung garage doors the default solution.
The straightforward installation, characteristic of side-hung garage doors, is not just about convenience; it also underscores their universality. Virtually all garages meet minimal requirements for installing such doors.
Every investor must remember that garage doors, especially sectional ones, have strict requirements concerning the garage opening. Lintel, or rather the lack of it, is the typical limiting factor. There are ways to address this issue, such as the INFINITI ZERO renovation system. However, even this solution may not always be applicable in a given location, making side-hung garage doors the safe option.
All side-hung garage doors created by Eko-Okna follow individual customer specifications. There's no need to search the market for a door that will fit a specific house because Eko Okna delivers just what the customer needs.
Customers can order very large doors. The specific possibilities depend on the system used. Product cards on the website list all the limitations, but the vast majority of customers will find all the options available to them.
Sturdy construction elements make oversized side-hung doors possible. They consist of profiles, the walls of which can be up to two millimetres thick, which is a truly impressive value. Moreover, they are equipped with sinusoidal thermal barriers, which provide warmth and, through their shape, further improve the stability of the door leaves.
Can side-hung garage doors offer exciting aesthetics? Absolutely. The beautiful design comes with panels lent by sectional doors. They provide a wide range of finishing options, which are also compatible with other joinery elements offered by Eko-Okna.
Side-hung doors can perfectly match in colour with:
Sectional door panels also offer exciting aesthetic possibilities. They can sport various colours, with different textures and embossments applied. Their use also means at least satisfactory thermal parameters because there is insulating material between two sheets of galvanised steel. It effectively reduces the thermal transmittance of the structure.
The real utility of many products often lies in the accessories and add-ons that come with them, as standard or option. Side-hung garage doors are no exception here.
You can count on all the essential elements already in the basic setup. These include, of course, handles along with locks, which allow securing the garage interior. It's hard to imagine using such a garage door without blocking both door leaves. Additionally, each product features a bolt. Its task is to block the movement of the door leaf that should not move, which is usually used in double-leaf doors when only one is open.
