  • SWS doors are far better...imo....google them !
  • i work on electric garage and industrial doors and horman are extortionate on their pricing if it was upto me id have a garage roller shutter far less servicing costs and if the motor goes down which they do on hormans becuase ive replaced a fair few the customer of complains of the cost of replacement it be far cheaper you can get good finishes on shutters like woodgrain

    just my take on it

    Brutus- roller shutter not an option, bedroom above garage and planning condition that ridge could not be higher than existing bungalow-so looking at hormann L type gear(low headroom) or equivalent
