What is a PVC Garage Door?

PVC stands for Polyvinyl Chloride which is a type of plastic; but we’re not talking about soft plastics. This is the type of plastic that is found and used all over the house nowadays including windows, doors and flooring.

This particular PVC is used in the manufacture of Signature Garage doors originates from the USA. It contains 34% recycled/reprocessed material and uses natural gas instead of oil in its manufacture.

Benefits of a PVC or Vinyl Garage Door

PVC garage doors have a long list of benefits to consider that make it a great option when replacing your garage door.

This type of door is a lightweight option in comparison to wood. This means that the PVC door reduces stress on the hardware, springs and automatic opener as it has a similar density and weight to equivalent dimensioned pine.

PVC is UV stabilised and perfect for the harsh environments. It will not discolour or degrade in direct sunlight or salt water environments and will not absorb moisture from the environment; therefore it doesn’t suffer the expansion and contraction that occurs in timber during seasonal changes.

It will also not splinter, twist, warp, fade, crack, peel, rust or blister which is always a bonus!

As PVC doesn’t require the upkeep of real timber, you can easily maintain these garage doors by washing them with soap and water, along with the required regular maintenance such as servicing.

Another added benefit is that any minor dents up to 3mm in depth can be easily removed by applying heat. (Using a low temp heat gun at a 20-30am distance.)

With a list of benefits this long, we can see why these doors are becoming a popular choice!
