The classic choice for both residential and commercial properties, Traditional Insulated Sectional Steel Garage Doors offer exceptional durability, dependability, and a refined aesthetic appeal. These doors are a leading choice in garage systems, thanks to their outstanding features, benefits, and comprehensive aspects. In this introduction, we will explore what makes these garage doors a favored option among homeowners and business owners.
The Most Versatile Garage Door Type
Sectional garage doors offer a remarkable blend of benefits, making them a standout choice. When selecting a door type, consider sectionals for their unparalleled versatility.
With a space-saving design, sectional garage doors open vertically, ensuring no part of the door protrudes while in motion. This efficient use of space allows areas near the garage door to remain functional and usable, a crucial advantage for short driveways or compact garages.
Our double-skinned steel sections are designed to be 'pinch-proof' and are filled with eco-friendly, Freon-free PU foam. Ryterna panels excel in providing sound and thermal insulation, boasting a garage door U-value of ~ 1.1 W/(m2/K) and noise reduction of -25 dB. Further enhanced by rubber seals at all panel joints, they offer superior protection against elements like rain, snow, dust, and cold. Many homeowners choose Ryterna sectional garage doors to transform garage spaces into gyms, offices, or storage for classic cars.
1. Referred to as "sectional" due to their construction from individual horizontal sections, these doors conveniently fold vertically when opened. This design optimizes the vertical space within the garage, maximizing width for vehicle and item accommodation.
2. Constructed from two-layer steel, these doors are synonymous with strength and longevity. The steel layers are typically galvanized, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and durability.
3. Between the two robust steel layers lies foam insulation, expertly sandwiched to deliver superior thermal insulation. This polyurethane foam keeps garages warm in winter and cool in summer, doubling as an effective sound barrier to minimize noise.

6. Insulation R-values for these doors can vary based on the foam and steel layer thickness. Higher R-values indicate superior insulation efficiency.
