Roller shutter garage doors are the perfect space-saving option when a garage has limited room and headspace needs to be conserved for storage. They also offer fantastic security for your garage, operating in a very similar way to the security shutters you might see on a shop at night.
A roller shutter garage door opens by rolling up vertically around itself above the door, which has the major advantage of not requiring any room in front of your garage necessary to open the door. In practical terms, this means you can park a car on your driveway right up to within inches of the garage door and still be able to open and close it.
With their compact design, our weather-proof roller shutter garage doors are ideal if you’re looking to conserve storage space in your garage, or, if you have limited space or swing room at the opening.
Whether manually operated or automated, roller garage doors from Garage Doors Ltd also offer a high level of security due to the robust design, and numerous security features, including reinforced slats and anti-lift features.
All our garage doors are extremely weather resistant and certified to the highest European safety standards.

Roller Garage Doors
Roller garage doors are extremely adaptable and versatile and can be manufactured to almost any size and colour. Because of the vertical opening nature of the roller shutter garage door, it can be installed in garages with limited ceiling space or behind garages with unusual architecture such as archways, an extremely high ceiling or when other structures would block the clearance of other garage doors that need to open outwards.
What are garage roller shutters?
A garage roller shutter is a type of garage door consisting of multiple horizontal slats that are hinged together. The door opens vertically upwards and rolls around itself above the door and when it closes it unrolls and slides vertically downwards.

Although it is possible to operate them manually, garage roller shutter style doors are most frequently electronically operated for convenience.
