When designing a garage space there are many considerations – almost as many as if you were designing a home interior. You need to think about the interior, the exterior, maximising the storage, making the most of all the wall and floor space, and how you are going to access the building as well. This last point is one of the most important because it will also feed into the security of your garage space, and how safe it is going to be.

The door you pick needs to fit in with your overall aims for the garage space. So if you plan on using it for things such as a home gym or an office or workshop, then the door needs to give you an adequate level of insulation. Any door that you pick needs to be secure enough to protect your garage and a Secured By Design door will have been thoroughly tested.
