Unlike overhead doors, sectional doors consist of panels that slide along rails along the garage opening and along the garage ceiling.

Sectional garage doors are becoming more popular in driveway projects and are among the most common types you will find. This door type is ideal for garages or garage remodels where light and comfort are important. If your garage has enough headroom, you can use a door like this to add a stylish and understated look to your home door. 

In commercial, manufacturing or industrial settings, rolling doors do not slide on rails like a sectional door but rather wrap around the top of the garage door opening. Manufacturers of modern rolling doors make them in a style that mimics the old swing doors, with artificial hinges on the sides and a pair of handles with a deep groove in the centre.
