Sectional Garages

Endless Flexibility Provided by Sectional Garages

link to home pageTheir name says it all, sectional garages are installed on site by fitting individual sections together. The usual material currently deployed in the production of sectional garages is concrete and it is this material that has seen the sectional garages industry move on from the timber framed asbestos days of the 1960s and 70s.

Concrete sectional garages normally comprise a series of sectional concrete panels. The big advantage of concrete prefabricated garages is that they provide the customer with endless flexibility. By adding extra sections customers have longer sectional garages, by taking them away the sectional garages become shorter. This has little impact on the price of sectional garages, so always choose the largest size possible as adding panels to sectional garages after they have been installed can be costly.

Extra panels can also be added to the front and rear sides of sectional garages to change the width although many customers prefer sectional garages with wider garage doors to enable easier access for vehicles.

sectional garagesConcrete sectional garages are available throughout the UK and can be found on display at hundreds of outlets including many garden centres. Most displays will be manned by an expert in sectional garages who will be able to advise potential customers and arrange the processing of any orders for sectional garages.

The largest sectional garages manufacturer is Compton Garages. They have been supplying sectional garages for 50 years throughout the UK and have a wide range of shapes, sizes and styles of sectional garages to choose from.

Typically using 2ft (0.61m) wide concrete panels, sectional garages provide an unrivalled flexibility. Doors and windows are placed between panels, with sectional garages featuring special filler panels placed beneath windows enabling doors and windows to be positioned almost anywhere on sectional garages.

Sectional garages are not only bought by home owners looking for valuable extra storage space, they are also used commercially in battery format. Commercial sectional garages feature runs of sectional garages typically numbering between two and twenty.

Commercial sectional garages are often purchased by local authorities, housing associations or businesses. These sectional garages are then rented out to people looking for extra storage space maybe to help store stock for a business, to free up space in a property or even to store a car in.

Concrete sectional garages are transported to site by lorry and then installed by a trained professional who will fix the sections together. As well as the walls, the roof of a sectional garage will also be in sections. Sectional garage roofs are usually fibre cement sheets or steel sheets attached to a series of roof trusses that help maintain the rigidity of sectional garages.

Flat, apex and Banbury roof pitches are available on sectional garages to provide a choice of shape. Sectional garages have progressed over the years and are now available in a choice of finishes to compliment your home and the surrounding environment. Finishes include spar (pebble dash), brick and rock. Different heights of sectional garages are also available through the use of taller sections and doors ­ taller sectional garages are ideal for the storage of people carriers, vans and minibuses.
