Flush sectional garage door with facade panels

Hello builders, our building application has now been submitted and we are eagerly awaiting approval...

Does anyone here have experience or their own flush-mounted garage door (double garage) as a sectional door, where they were able to equip the garage with facade panels identical to those on the facade itself?

I am grateful for useful tips!

I don’t quite understand the question, what experience are you looking for? For many bills packed on Euro pallets, you can purchase the gate from various suppliers in all materials (wood, stainless steel, aluminum). We are talking about five-figure amounts.

Besides that, you need to involve the gate supplier very early in the planning of the garage because it comes down to centimeters if everything is supposed to be flush (so first inquire about the installation dimensions and specifications of the gate and THEN dimension the garage). Otherwise, retrofitting with claddings etc. will be necessary, but in this price category that is (almost) irrelevant.

Last note: The garage should be on a fenced property. If the gate is directly at a public street, it can happen that you have to put up lots of no-parking signs afterwards because no one recognizes it as a gate anymore. I personally saw that at a very stylish house in Rosenheim downtown.

PS: These are not mass productions as you know them from a large nationwide gate manufacturer. Delivery times of a few months can occur here, so plan and order early.

Yes, I mean, for example, who has already implemented this themselves in their house and roughly how much the price was... Which panels were used, which company carried it out, etc.

Here is a floor plan of our planned garage:

So for the gate, you can definitely count on a five-figure amount, plus you should also use the same material and, of course, RAL color for the front door and the windows. The material issue can quickly become an additional cost factor for windows and the door. Hardly anyone would combine plastic windows with such a facade. There are various providers, most of them in the southern German region. I know aluminum and Resopal for the panels. Then there is another cost factor: If the panels shouldn't just be screwed with ugly Spax screws into a lathing behind, they have to be hung. That costs quite a bit more. CONCLUSION: The facade you showed in the picture above is certainly not a low-budget project. Naming concrete prices is difficult because it depends on the choice of material, the area to be clad, the size of the gate, the matching front door system, possibly the windows, etc. In any case, you should be prepared for an additional charge clearly in the five-digit range for the overall package.

If the gate is directly in front of a public road, it can happen that you have to afterwards screw on a lot of no-parking signs

You have to suffer for beauty - even for such that are a matter of taste.

The material issue can quickly become an additional cost factor for windows and doors. You will hardly combine plastic windows with such a front.

Yes, that "is always gladly taken" :-(
Alone to stay within the budget, because:

We are talking about five-figure amounts.

The gate is not included in that.

The cladding material should be offered by the gate manufacturer and you must also be able to buy it there for the façade, so that it really is made as one piece. Then he must also name you a suitable dealer who also does façade construction. The gate must be mounted atypically far forward because of the substructure for the façade cladding. Adjusting the substructure and the cladding is a job for someone who has killed both parents. Labor-intensive. Master hours, mind you, even a skilled apprentice can't do that.

It's a pity that I no longer have my window factory – your order would have triggered a Porsche order.

Are you paid R or W?
