Custom Doors
Custom doors have been a familiar sight on Australian homes for decades. Their single-panel design, simple operation and classic appearance make them a practical choice for homeowners who want something straightforward and cost-effective.
Lux Doors supplies, installs, repairs and services custom doors across South Australia for residential and selected commercial applications.
A Simple Design
That Works
Custom doors do things a little differently from roller and sectional doors. Instead of rolling or folding into sections, the entire door panel lifts up and over the garage opening.
As the door opens, it swings outward before moving into its overhead position. This gives custom doors their distinctive movement and means you'll need enough clear space in front of the garage for the door to operate properly.
Once open, the panel sits overhead, leaving your garage entrance clear.
Their straightforward construction is one reason custom doors remain a popular option, particularly for properties where a traditional garage door fits the look and layout.
A Good Fit for
Traditional Homes
Custom doors are particularly well suited to homes where maintaining the property's existing character is important.
An older home with a traditional façade can benefit from a garage door that complements rather than competes with its architecture. For homeowners replacing an ageing custom door, choosing a similar style can also provide a familiar look while improving the door's condition and operation.
They're also suitable for standalone garages and other residential properties with enough space in front of the opening for the door to swing outward.
Commercial
Applications
While commonly associated with residential garages, custom doors can also work well in selected commercial settings.
Workshops, storage areas and smaller business premises may benefit from their straightforward design, particularly where the door isn't subject to the demands of a high-use industrial environment.
The suitability of a custom doors depends on the opening, available clearance and how the space will be used. Lux Doors can assess these factors before recommending an option.
Finding the
Right Custom Doors
Choosing a garage door isn't only about picking a style you like. The layout of your property, the available space, and how you use the garage all need to be considered.
Before recommending a custom doors, we can look at:
- The size and layout of the garage opening
- Clearance in front of the garage
- How frequently the door will be used
- Your preferred appearance
- Whether you want manual or automatic operation
- Your budget
This helps us ensure the door suits the space, rather than simply choosing an off-the-shelf option.
