What are the differences between interior, middle and exterior flip garage doors?

The garages of villas and self-built houses are either on the first floor or underground garages. According to the use requirements of different environments, in addition to the different choices of garage door styles and materials, they also vary according to the needs of different owners. Driving skills also have different requirements for door opening space occupation. When the staff of Kunming Haydn Garage Door reviews the size of the door opening, they will basically inform the user of the garage door style, installation form and location. So, taking a flip garage door as an example, what are the differences between interior, middle and exterior?

Installation location

The middle dress is Kunming A common form of Hayden garage door installation. That is, install the garage door in the middle of the door opening. The track of the door body is usually installed on the outer side of the middle of the door pillar, and guide devices are installed on both sides of the door body along the edge of the door opening. This installation method makes the door body basically in the middle of the door opening when opening and closing, and has a better fit with the door opening and the best sealing effect. For standard rectangular door openings, center-mounted garage doors will not occupy too much extra space on both sides of the door opening or inside and outside the door opening.

The track of the interior garage door is installed in the indoor direction on the inside of the door pillar, and the door body is completely located in the interior space of the garage. When installed, the tracks and associated mechanical devices are installed on the wall or ceiling inside the garage. This means that when the door is closed, it is closed towards the inside of the garage. The door is completely contained inside the garage and will not protrude to the building facade outside the garage.

There are relatively few cases of exterior flip garage doors. The track, bracket and other components of the door body are installed on the outside of the garage door opening. It is mainly suitable for garages on the first floor of self-built houses and there is a certain extension space outside the door opening. After the exterior is installed, the front of the door panel can be seen from the inside of the garage, but from the outside What you see is the back of the door panel and hardware accessories, and the opening direction is raised under the eaves outdoors and hung under the corridor. The advantage is that it does not occupy the space inside the garage, but the disadvantage is that it takes up the top space of the corridor outside the door opening.

Space utilization

The mid-mounted garage door will take up about 10 centimeters of space on the left and right sides of the door opening. For private garages with one parking space and a small width, some owners said that they have newly obtained driver\’s licenses and their driving skills are average, and they hope to completely avoid occupying the space on the left and right sides of the door opening through interior decoration. In addition, the interior decoration form occupies a relatively balanced space inside and outside the garage.

The interior garage door will not occupy the space on the left and right sides of the door opening, but it may be restricted for garages with columns inside. If the interior space is spacious enough, the interior form will basically not occupy it. Any garage interior space. It is suitable for situations where the internal space of the garage is relatively spacious. If the internal space of the garage is narrow, the built-in tracks can run against the walls on the left and right sides, which may occupy the installation of shoe cabinets or wall cabinets.

Exterior garage doors mainly occupy the exterior corridor space of the garage. Therefore, if the outside of the door opening is privately available, you can choose exterior decoration. If it is an underground garage, there are too many fire pipes, ventilation pipes and other obstacles in the external space, and it is not a private space, so it is difficult to pass through the property or urban management. It is allowed, so there are very few cases, so there is no need to carry out analysis.

Integration of installation form and architecture

The appearance of the mid-mounted garage door blends well with the door opening. If the color of the garage door style The design is coordinated with the architectural style, and the mid-mounted garage door can naturally integrate into the overall appearance of the building. For example, Kunming Haydn Garage Door installed flip garage doors of various materials, styles, and colors in the Dianchi Golf Community to form a mid-level garage door that is in harmony with the modern minimalist style, matching the simple lines of the flip garage door and the shape of the door opening. With the neat structure, it has been built into the ceiling in the case of private garage flap doors in high-end villa areas.

There are many cases of built-in garage doors in Yunxishu Community in Shilin, Kunming. The garages in this community are basically one parking space. When closed, the flap door is in harmony with the overall appearance when viewed from the outside of the building, especially Looking at the entire community, the same garage door is installed. Not only are the colors and styles consistent, they also have minimal impact on the overall appearance of the building\’s facade, and can also form an independent landscape.

It is worth mentioning that as the garage areas of Kunming villas and self-built houses become larger and larger, they are basically private garages with two parking spaces, three parking spaces or even larger areas. Therefore, Kunming Haydn garage doors During the installation process, the recommended methods for single parking spaces inside and double parking spaces inside were gradually formed. Among them, mid-mounted garage doors also have the following advantages:

The mid-mounted garage door is installed in the middle of the door pillar, relative to the exterior garage door The location is relatively hidden from the door. It will be difficult to directly break the door body from the outside to enter the garage, because it is not directly exposed like an exterior door, which increases the difficulty for criminals to break the door body and enter the garage. At the same time, compared with interior-mounted garage doors, mid-mounted doorsThere is some shielding of the door opening on the outside, providing an extra layer of protection.

The central track and the load-bearing structure of the door pillar work together to greatly improve safety. Mid-mounted garage doors can use load-bearing door columns and surrounding wall structure to enhance security. When the torsion spring fails and the door falls down, the wall around the door opening can serve as additional support and protection, working together with the structure of the door itself to resist the impact or damage of external forces. For example, if someone tries to enter the garage by hitting the door, the door opening wall can share part of the impact force, improving the overall safety of the door.

Whether it is an interior or mid-mounted garage door, the size, material, and weight of the door body need to be taken into consideration during installation. and factors such as installation location. Installation difficulty may vary depending on door type and size and installation environment. In terms of maintenance, both interior and mid-mounted garage doors need to regularly check the operating condition of the door body and lubricate the transmission components, etc. Exterior garage doors may be more susceptible to the effects of the external environment (such as rain, dust, etc.), so they require greater attention to cleaning and maintenance.
