What Is an Aluzinc Garage Door?

* 0.43 mm Aluzinc-coated panels
* 55% aluminium and 45% zinc coating composition
* Embossed woodgrain finish
* Horizontal slat and block profile options
* A range of colour choices including charcoal, black, white, stone grey and bronze
Aluzinc garage doors have become a popular choice for modern homes because they offer a clean appearance, durability and a consistent factory finish.
What Is a Chromadek Garage Door?
Chromadek is a pre-painted galvanised sheet product used in a variety of building applications.
Because both Chromadek and Aluzinc are metal-based materials used in sectional garage doors, the names are often confused or used interchangeably in the marketplace. While they are different products, both are associated with durable, attractive garage door solutions.
Why Do People Call Them Steel Garage Doors?

As a result, homeowners searching online may use terms such as:
