ᐅ Solid Garage 6x5m Slat Selection

For our garage door/sectional door (5.25 m x 2.25 m (17.2 ft x 7.4 ft)), we can choose between a wide woodgrain rib or a wide panel (L-rib).

The additional cost for the wider rib would be €450.

Apart from the appearance, does the choice of rib make any difference, or is this extra cost worthwhile?

As far as I know (as I recall), the number of slats is always the same.
So it is primarily a matter of aesthetics. The “filling” (insulation) might be more important.

Woodgrain looks poor. Try searching for micro-profiled...

There are many pictures of this online; I find the L-bead design the most attractive. However, I have to say that based on the pictures, I would have chosen Woodgrain because it is cheaper, but in reality, it doesn’t look nice (although it is more resistant to scratches).

I wouldn’t be able to choose anything there because I don’t understand it: it’s not very helpful when the suppliers themselves are unclear about the terminology. A "groove" refers to the channel or valley in a sheet metal profile, and the term "slat" only really makes sense if the panel is double-skinned (usually a sandwich of metal-foam-metal). For a single-skinned panel, it does not apply. Personally, I wouldn’t call the overlap joint between two sections a groove. So whether "grooves" here mean S, M, or L—i.e., visually dividing a section into two parts by double, single, or no grooving—it is not clear from the descriptions. I would generally prefer, especially with single-skin sections, not to divide the sections with grooves. If that seems too coarse to someone, there is the alternative of a rolling door. I think a louvered look on a sectional door is pointless.

For me personally, it depends on the style of the house and the overall appearance. For a straightforward modern house, I would definitely avoid woodgrain and instead choose a smooth surface texture, preferably with an L-profile groove.

For a country house style, I find woodgrain appropriate, and in that case, I would go for the M-profile groove.

Thank you, we decided against woodgrain and opted for a smooth/modern L-groove instead. It fits better with the style of the house, and the color we wanted is available.
