- 0.5mm to 0.8mm galvanised sheet
- Chromadek or powder-coated to any RAL
- Roll-up, sectional or tip-up
Steel is the default garage door material in Bronkhorstspruit, and out here that is not just about price. A steel door takes dust, machinery contact, hail and full sun, and when it does get damaged it can be repaired rather than replaced. On a property an hour from anywhere, repairability is worth more than almost anything else.

Galvanised and coated finishes
Every steel door we supply is galvanised before it is coated. Out here that undercoat is what keeps a stone chip from a gravel road or a scrape from a trailer becoming a rust line down the panel. Galvanising underneath means a scratch stays a scratch.
Hail resistance and gauge
Highveld hail on an open property dents a light panel, and a wide door in a light gauge will also drum and flex in wind. We specify the gauge and the reinforcing for the span and the exposure rather than defaulting to the same panel for every opening, and on an exposed elevation we specify up.
Steel doors on farm and workshop buildings
On a shed or a workshop, steel is simply the right answer. It takes a knock from a trailer without folding, a damaged section can be swapped rather than the whole door replaced, and it does not need a maintenance regime that nobody has time for during harvest.
Insulated steel garage doors
An insulated steel door is stiffer, quieter and far better where the space is a workshop, a gym or a room. Under full Highveld sun the temperature difference in a working building is substantial, and the extra rigidity helps on a wide opening and against hail.
Security on a steel garage door
Panel strength is only part of it. The locking, the track fixings and, on a motorised door, a drive that holds the door down are what stop a door being lifted. On a building away from the house we specify heavier locking as a matter of course.
Steel or aluminium
Steel is stronger, cheaper and repairable; aluminium is lighter and does not corrode. On any working building here steel wins outright. On a house in town aluminium is a reasonable choice, and we give you both prices with the reasoning.
What a steel garage door costs in Bronkhorstspruit
The most cost-effective door for most openings. Priced on width and height, panel profile, insulation, coating, automation and travel, after an on-site measure.
Common questions
About steel garage doors
Between 0.5mm and 0.8mm galvanised sheet. The gauge is the specification that matters most — thin sheet dents when something falls against it. We quote the gauge on every proposal so you can compare offers on the same basis.
Chromadek is a factory-applied coil coating: tough, consistent and hard to beat for durability. Powder coating lets us match any RAL colour to the trim on your house. Both go over galvanising, never over bare steel.
Only if the coating is breached and left. It starts at the bottom rail, where the door stands in driveway water, and around fixings. We use galvanised bottom rails, seal cut edges and fit a proper bottom seal. Inland a maintained steel door runs well over a decade.
We do not work that way. Older South African garages are rarely square, and forcing a stock-size door into an out-of-square opening is what leaves the daylight gap down one side. Every door is built to the measured opening.
