Garage doors are the biggest moving part of the house. It provides quick and easy access to the garage and protects the car and other items stored in the room. It is important to choose a door that will not only last a long time but also be as safe as possible for the whole family.

Planning property improvements is about finding the safest, most practical, and cost-effective solution for you and your family. When investing in a home or area, it is important to feel confident about your choice and to have no doubt that the purchase you make will provide you with quality for many years. Many factors influence the quality and longevity of a product. The right installation, the thickness of the door, the quality of the automation, and the springs are all important. Safety features, galvanized or stainless steel components, door panel material, filling, and coloring are also important. Let's take a look at the most important aspects when choosing a new garage door.

Safety first

Even if the garage is not used as the main entrance daily, it is very important to ensure security. Thieves may try to enter the house through the garage, so the door must be durable and thick. RIPO International garage doors are with two metal panels filled with the highest quality rigid foam insulation - polyurethane foam - with a maximum thickness of 40 mm, as well as 60 mm and 80 mm thick panels - a rarity in this market. Many manufacturers save money by reducing the thickness of the panels in the middle of the door, leaving only the upper and lower parts of the door thicker. RIPO International's doors, on the other hand, are filled with an insulating material that not only provides warmth but also extra stability and strength. So you can be sure that your garage is well protected when you choose a RIPO door.

The garage space and door are used not only by the car driver and the owner of the motorbike but also by other family members. Children often play in, near, or under the open garage door, so it is important to choose a sturdy and secure door. The RIPO garage door lifting mechanism uses a multi-spring system - if the main lifting spring breaks, the other springs will hold the door in place, keeping it secure until the service technician replaces the damaged spring. The gate can also be equipped with automation and a sensor that stops movement if a child, animal, or object is under the door.

You probably also have precious family memories (photo albums, your children's first clothes, or your grandfather's heirlooms), expensive gardening equipment and tools, or a sports bike in your garage. A properly insulated space and door are there to protect your belongings from external conditions (damp, cold, rust) and keep them in good condition. RIPO garage doors have high-quality thermal insulation and special sealing rubbers to prevent rain and moisture from escaping through.

Modern overhead garage doors offer the great advantage of requiring minimal clearance space. And they are easy to open with automatic garage door control solutions. The overhead garage door slides parallel to the ceiling, so belongings and cars can be placed very close to the door without requiring additional space to open.

Automation - synonymous to comfort

Garage door automation for a more complete level of security and comfort. It offers a safer way out and a safer way in for everyday use. For example, the safe-opening technology with sensors immediately stops the door from moving when it hits an object. Families with little children and pets most often appreciate this type of feature. The remote control allows the doors to be controlled remotely. By adding the Smart Home module to your doors, you can remotely control and check the status of your door via your mobile smartphone from anywhere in the world where you have internet access.

This simple feature is incredibly handy for those times when you're in the house and want to make sure the doors are closed without leaving the room. Depending on the type of private property and the family size, instead of one or more remote controls, you can also choose a wall button, a PIN code key, and even a fingerprint reader that "memorizes" up to 20 different people's fingerprints.

Garage doors are an essential part of your home, providing not only a safe place for your car but also protection for valuables and family members. When you choose garage doors from RIPO International, you get the highest quality security, durability, and comfort solutions to meet your needs.
