Rethinking the garage door: how bespoke garage door systems can add a unique dimension to a building's functionality

Description

This presentation encourages architects to consider how the garage door can be treated as a key feature of the building, rather than an afterthought, unlocking new design potential in the same way that glazing and facade choices do. It covers the different types of bespoke garage doors that are available and how to integrate these into a building design, before going on to explain the key specification considerations, which materials and finishes available and some of the technical detailing regarding the interface with the surrounding structure. The presentation concludes by showing some examples of the different types of bespoke garage doors to offer inspiration to architects and demonstrate what can be achieved in comparison to using standard garage doors.
