How to choose the right material for your sectional garage door

Whether you’re renovating or building a new house, coordinating different exterior materials can be a difficult task and can have a significant impact on the aesthetic and appeal of your home. A garage door can take up to 60% of a home’s façade thus making it a huge visual element and an overwhelming decision. With a range of different styles, profiles and colours available, B&D has an extensive range to help elevate any home’s street appeal.



Below we have broken down our diverse range of design options to help you level up your garage door.

How to choose the right materials?

Choosing your sectional door material may seem like a big decision but it really comes down to three considerations:

Material options

Australian Steel

All B&D sectional garage doors are made from high quality Australian steel. Renowned for its strength, durability and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, it is ideal for any Australian residential property. Australian steel manufacturers are held to high standards that international suppliers are simply not held to, therefore making it one of the best in the world.

At B&D we’re focussed on providing only the best, which is why we offer an extensive range of COLORBOND®steel and Knotwood garage door options to provide both premium and long-lasting performance.

COLORBOND® steel

COLORBOND®steel has a unique five-layer design making it durable and corrosion resistant. Whether you’re on the Australian coastline or in the harsh central outback, a B&D garage door made from COLORBONDsteel is strong, tough and reliable.

When designing your home, you should consider a balanced cohesive design that not only sits comfortably in its environment but also connects with it. COLORBONDsteel range of colour options are inspired by Australia’s varying landscapes. Selecting a pale, mid or deep tone will have an impact on the overall look and feel of your home.
