Garage door through the ages<\/h2>\n

In the past, the purpose of garage doors was to close the garage. Nothing more. Today, modern models are available in visually appealing versions and with comfort-enhancing electrical equipment. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How times have changed: 20 – 30 years ago, most garages were almost exclusively fitted with very, very simple up-and-over doors or, in the case of brick-built garages, even more often with hinged doors. Swing gates are definitely no longer in use today. And the technology of up-and-over doors has changed, at least in essential details. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In fact, some older up-and-over garage doors can still be renovated and restored to a good condition, provided the fabric is in good condition. To do this, the garage professionals at ZAPF repair weak points (such as stiff locks) and replace defective individual parts (such as corroded door springs). <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By the way, up-and-over garage doors are still being installed on new garages, as they are extremely robust and offer particularly good value for money. However, they require space to swing open when opening and closing (hence the name), which reduces the storage space in and in front of the garage somewhat. <\/p>\n

A garage door replacement often makes sense!<\/h3>\n

If the old garage door is damaged or no longer looks modern enough to the owner, ZAPF’s experienced craftsmen can also replace the old door with a new one. There are numerous options for garage owners to “design” the new garage door in a modern and convenient way. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you want a particularly modern alternative when installing a new door, you can opt for an elegant sectional door, for example. The sectional door is not only visually appealing, it is also particularly space-saving. The efficient 90\u00b0 door travel creates additional storage space in the garage. In addition, other vehicles can be parked directly in front of the garage and the door can still be opened and closed. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ZAPF offers two versions of the sectional door for installation:<\/h3>\n
