Aluzinc Garage Door – Durable, Low-Maintenance & Weather-Resistant
An aluzinc garage door is the practical, hardwearing choice for homeowners who want a sectional door that looks great and holds up beautifully to the elements without the upkeep of wood.
The Low-Maintenance Strength of Aluzinc Steel
Aluzinc, also referred to as chromadek, is a zinc-aluminium alloy-coated steel that offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability. As a material for garage doors, it strikes an ideal balance between strength, affordability, and low maintenance, making it one of the most popular choices for South African homes and commercial properties alike.
Our aluzinc garage door range is a sectional door system. Panels travel vertically upward on a tracked rail system, keeping your driveway clear. Choose from two distinct panel styles: Block Panels for a classic, structured look, or Slatted Panels for a more contemporary horizontal appearance. Both are available in a broad range of colours and are fully compatible with motorised operation.

FAQs
What is aluzinc, and why is it used for garage doors?
Aluzinc is a zinc-aluminium alloy-coated steel also widely known as chromadek. The coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it significantly more durable than bare steel in outdoor conditions. It is a popular garage door material in South Africa because it combines strength with low maintenance requirements.
What is the difference between Block Panels and Slatted Panels?
Block Panels have a raised 20-panel (single door) or 40-panel (double door) block pattern. This is a traditional, familiar look that suits a wide range of home styles.
Slatted Panels have a horizontal slat profile: a more contemporary, design-forward look that suits modern architecture.
Both share the same aluzinc material and durability.
