The Best Garage Doors to Accommodate Larger Cars

There’s no denying it, cars are getting bigger. Even the Mini isn’t very mini any more. Every few months, there’s another newspaper story about some family that have bought a new-build house only to discover that the garage included by the developers hasn’t enough space to open the doors on their Ford Galaxy. If you have a large car and a large garage, what’s the best kind of door for you?


Wide Openings – Sectional Garage Door


Sectional garage doors are installed behind the brickwork of the opening to your garage. They come in a wide range of standard sizes, so they are the perfect choice for securing the wider opening you may want to accommodate your larger car. The sectional nature of the doors means there are no compromises on stability when you increase in size.

Double Openings – Up-and-Over Garage Doors


Double garages often have two standard sized door openings with a structural pillar in between. There’s obviously plenty of room inside, so parking your SUV won’t be a problem. If you have two openings, you are going to need two garage doors. Two single panel up-and-over doors should fit the bill without breaking the bank.
