Hello,
I would like to hear your opinions and experiences.
Initially, our garage was planned with two doors, as shown in the picture. However, during the further planning phase, we decided to go for one large door instead. This choice was partly for aesthetic reasons and partly because we thought that if repairs on the car or similar work need to be done, or if we ever need to park a larger vehicle, it would be easier to drive straight into the garage without a supporting post in the middle.
Our construction manager has raised concerns that with a door width of at least 5.50 meters (18 feet), the slats might sag after several years, and the wear on the tracks where the door runs would be significantly higher due to the size and weight of the door.
We are now unsure what to do. What are your experiences with wide garage doors? It will be a Hörmann door. What have you installed? What advantages and disadvantages have you noticed? What are the benefits of two single doors, and what are the drawbacks? Have you had any technical issues with a door width of around 6 meters (20 feet)?
Kind regards

I meant anti-lift protection, pinch protection, remote controls, etc.
Hörmann is large and well-known. In the industrial door sector, there are many companies that are equally good and more affordable. Apart from the fact that Hörmann often has issues with HomeLink.
I prefer a small and reliable local company (regional, customer service, price).
I would only choose dark doors on the north side or in areas with little sunlight. The expansion is more significant with large doors.
That’s why we are going for silver/gray.

that there are wide tires that open to the side.Also on the wrong side: there is a 50% chance that you want to open the side that ends up being at the "end" of the opening.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
