All tilt garage door designs consist of a single solid panel door that lifts upward in one movement, resting in the horizontal position along the garage ceiling when fully opened. The doors panel is held in a hinged cradle with pivoting arms at either side, which are counter balanced using a single or pair of springs. The door operates by the pivoting arms raising the door panel upwards and outwards until it rests horizontally against the garage ceiling.

We carefully consider various factors such as location, usage frequency, and purpose (residential or commercial) when selecting the precise thickness and finish of the material for your garage doors. Regardless of the specifics, we guarantee that the materials we use will withstand harsh weather conditions and daily usage, making them a reliable choice for any property, both residential and commercial.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your tilt garage door.
