10 ways to fill a garage opening

Each day, every week, all year round we get asked the same question at all of our branches – How much is a standard garage door?
There really is no such door anymore, only stock sizes for new build garages.
With advances in garage door types, construction methods and operating mechanisms over the last 15 years you can buy a garage door to provide a lot more than just a steel panel in a timber frame.
The choice of garage doors now is enormous with manufacturers catering for insulated doors, vertically rising doors, horizontally sliding doors and even garage doors with doors built in for easy pedestrian access.
Below are 10 examples to show how 1 garage opening size can give 10 very different drivethrough measurements and 10 very different prices. The size is taken from the most frequently encountered brickwork size measured by our company over the last 20 years. I hope this helps!

The brickwork opening size most encountered on single brick built garage openings is 2290mm wide (approx. 7’6”) x 2250mm high (approx. 7’4 3/4”). We assume for the examples below that there is sufficient headroom and sideroom internally.
The prices are based on removing the old garage door and gear and disposing from site and the installation of a new sub frame, the garage door and operating mechanism, and remote control electric operator where included.
The examples are arranged by lowest price example first.
