Roller doorssized for what actually goes inside

Getting the opening size right

Door openings are the single most common regret we hear about. A door that fits the car you own today is a problem the day you buy a dual cab with a roof rack, or a caravan with an air conditioner on top. The extra cost of a wider, taller opening at design stage is small. Changing it after the frame is engineered is not.

We size openings from real dimensions. Tell us the tallest and widest thing that has to pass through — the caravan, the boat on its trailer, the tractor with the cab up, the ute with the canopy — and we work the door and wall height back from that, allowing for the door drum and the guides.

• Standard single garage openings suit most cars and utes
• Double openings suit two vehicles side by side without a centre column
• Caravan, boat and machinery openings need height checked against the load, not the vehicle
• Wall height must clear the door opening plus the drum and headroom above it

Why we use Taurean

Taurean Door Systems is an Australian roller door manufacturer, and their doors are built for Australian wind conditions — which matters in a coastal region where wind classification drives the engineering on the whole building. Their range covers domestic garage doors through to larger industrial and rural openings, so we can specify from one supplier across a residential garage, a machinery shed and a commercial building.

The door curtain itself is roll-formed from genuine COLORBOND® steel — the same base material as your roofing and wall cladding — so the door is not merely colour-matched, it is the same steel with the same baked-on finish. That means the colour is exact, not a close-enough approximation, and it weathers and fades on the same curve as the cladding around it.

Taurean doors are available across the standard COLORBOND® colour range, so the door can match the cladding, gutters and your home's roof rather than sitting awkwardly against them.

Wind rating and coastal exposure

A roller door is a large, flexible surface in a wall. In higher wind regions the door has to be rated to match the building, or it becomes the weak point during a storm event. Every Spartan Sheds building is engineered for the wind classification of your specific site, and the door specification is part of that — not an afterthought bolted on at the end.

On coastal sites around Bargara, Burnett Heads, Hervey Bay and the Woodgate area, we also consider salt exposure when specifying finishes and hardware.
