I don’t like following the crowd when it comes to exterior design because I love a house that stands out from the rest. All the way down my street my neighbours have roller shutter garage doors. When it came to choosing mine I looked at timber, sectional, round the corner and the more traditional up and over, but none of them were right. The roller shutter is popular for many reasons, but for me it came down to a number of factors. Roller doors take up a lot less space than up and over doors, and they’re very easy to install. They roll tightly into position upon opening, making very good use of space; whilst a remote control can be included. These doors operate smoothly without any hassle and they come in a range of colours, so even though I followed the crowd with the type of door, I made mine stand out with a bright colour.
