Our Range of Aluminium Garage Doors
At Direct Doors, we combine over 45 years of expertise with award-winning excellence to guarantee our customers find the best fit. We offer an exclusive range of designs from top brands, stocking a superior selection of door types, including aluminium roller garage doors.
We specifically offer roller doors from Gliderol, a premium brand that manufactures high-quality aluminium doors for homes across the UK. These systems use insulated aluminium and a steel bottom lath for added strength, providing minimal upkeep and a durable way to protect your property.
Features & Benefits
Gliderol garage doors travel vertically, meaning you can operate them smoothly even with vehicles parked right against the entrance. These low-maintenance garage doors use high-grade aluminium designed to enhance your home’s functionality and security.
Discover the benefits aluminium garage doors offer. Ideal for creating a clean, modern look, these systems deliver unbeatable value that will last for many years.
Additional benefits of garage doors made with aluminium include:
Lasting strength: These heavy-duty aluminium products resist rust, corrosion and general wear and tear, ensuring a long lifespan.
Hi-tech security: This exclusive range uses rolling-code remote technology to keep your garage door secure.
Smart operation: Powerful motors operate quietly, while a courtesy light illuminates your path for 90 seconds after activation.
Advanced safety: The Roll-Smart design detects obstructions without relying on vulnerable contact strips, making it ideal for busy households.
Complete weather protection: A rubber bottom seal and guide brush strips create a barrier against draughts and debris, helping maintain stable ventilation.
Functional flexibility: From battery backups to multi-door options, these manufactured systems offer less strain on your daily routine by automating access to your home.
Space-Saving Configurations
Our aluminium doors use a vertical-opening mechanism, letting you park vehicles without obstruction. This compact roll design requires just 300 mm of headroom, helping you keep more usable space inside your garage.
We offer aluminium garage doors in a range of sizes to meet your exact requirements. Whatever you want, we can do it! Simply decide on the right option for your home, and we’ll create custom dimensions for a perfect fit:
Standard single openings (1900 mm – 3359 mm): Fitted with slim 70 mm guides to maximise your drive-through width for everyday use.
Large & Double Openings (3360 mm – 5320 mm): In these instances, we use 90 mm guides to ensure maximum stability over a wider standard span.
Premium Painted Finishes
Choose from an extensive palette of finishes to match your property’s unique style. Every aluminium door is manufactured with high-quality materials and includes a 10-year paint finish warranty for long-term protection.
While the lath features a subtle texture, standard coloured items such as guides and boxes are supplied with a sleek satin finish to complement your home. Make the right choice for your aesthetic with our range of eggshell-finish RAL colours:
Black: Provides a bold, high-contrast statement, adding an air of prestige and timelessness to any driveway.
Brown: A warm, earthy tone that blends naturally with wooded surroundings or rustic exterior materials.
Chartwell Green: Delivers a tranquil, heritage-inspired look that is ideal for country cottages and period homes.
Cream: Offers a rich, neutral finish that coordinates effortlessly with various stonework and masonry.
Duck Egg Blue: Offers a traditional, regal appearance that pairs beautifully with red brick or stone cladding.
Grey: Modern and sophisticated, perfect for a contemporary architectural feel that hides road dust well.
Light Ivory: A softer alternative to white, providing a classic, elegant glow that feels welcoming.
Purple Red: Creates a vibrant, distinctive focal point for homeowners looking to add personality and warmth.
White: A crisp, versatile look that brightens your garage exterior and matches most window frames.
We also offer woodgrain eggshell finishes in oak, mahogany and rosewood.
In most instances, door guides are coloured to match the curtain, though laminate door colours are paired with brown guides to maintain a cohesive look. Regardless of your selection, these finishes offer protection against the elements for many years to come.

Are Gliderol aluminium garage doors easy to install?
Gliderol aluminium doors feature a foolproof design that makes setup straightforward, including a simple three-wire connection for the control unit. The system is engineered to suit various garage widths, using high-quality individual slats that are easy to handle and align.
As we do not offer installations, we provide everything you need to manage the process yourself or with a local tradesperson. For a smooth setup, follow our detailed fitting instructions or watch this safety system installation video to see the Gliderol process in action.
Tip: If your garage has no other entrance, ensure a manual override is fitted so you can operate the door from the outside during a power cut.
How do I measure to fit Gliderol garage doors in my property?
To ensure your new garage door fits your space, stand inside your garage and measure the daylight opening from brick to brick (width) and from the floor to the underside of the lintel (height). Please provide these exact dimensions in millimetres.
It’s important to remember that the total size delivered will be larger than your opening to account for the frame and mechanism. Specifically, the garage door will be 300 mm higher to accommodate the box end, and either 140 mm or 160 mm wider. This will depend on the guide legs required for your door width.
Simply give us the “brick to brick” and “ground to lintel” measurements, and we will handle the technical offsets for your new garage door.
How do I maintain aluminium garage doors?
Aluminium is a standout choice for homeowners because of its natural resistance to rust and corrosion. While it’s famously low-maintenance, a little TLC goes a long way in protecting your investment and extending the lifespan of your roller garage door.
Regular maintenance:
Clean the aluminium frame and curtain regularly using a soft cloth and a mild soap solution to keep the finish looking sharp.
Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washers, as these can damage the coating.
We recommend the following checks at least twice a year to ensure smooth, quiet operation:
Apply a high-quality silicone-based lubricant to the rollers, hinges, and tracks to reduce friction and prevent premature wear.
Check for any debris in the guides of your roller door that might cause jerky movement.
Make sure all bolts and fasteners stay tightened, as operational vibrations can loosen them over time.
What other types of garage doors do you offer?
We provide all types of doors for all types of homes, ensuring you find the right choice for your specific needs. While our aluminium range is popular, the materials and weight of your door can vary significantly depending on your preference.
To help you decide, here is how our other garage doors and featured materials compare:
Wooden garage doors are ideal for a traditional aesthetic, featuring wood systems that offer a premium look. When fitted with optional glazing, they invite more light into your space while improving energy efficiency.
Electric garage doors: If convenience is key, choose an automated option. These systems are often more lightweight than solid timber, using motorised tracks to take the heavy lifting out of your daily routine.
Whether you prefer the natural grain of timber or the effortless operation of an electric motor, your best garage door option lies with Direct Doors.
