Is the Panelift garage door insulated?

Not as standard — insulation is available as the Insul-Shield™ upgrade. For a door that's insulated from the factory, LT Doors' Eco insulated range is worth comparing.

What colours and profiles does the Panelift come in?

A wide COLORBOND colour range across four profiles, plus a Knotwood timber-look finish on the Seville. Statesman and Grange can also take window inserts.

Panelift Garage Doors

The Panelift® is B&D's original sectional garage door, the door that introduced Australia to panel-lift garage doors, installed by LT Doors across Wollongong and the Illawarra. It's available in the Nullarbor, Seville, Statesman and Grange profiles, built from COLORBOND® steel and backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Built for Wollongong's coastal conditions

Every Panelift door is finished in COLORBOND steel designed to handle the Illawarra's salt air and humidity, and B&D's optional Storm-Shield™ wind-rated upgrade is worth considering for exposed coastal blocks from Bulli through to Kiama. For homes backing onto bushland along the escarpment, the BAL-Maze™ upgrade is CSIRO-tested to BAL-40 bushfire protection.

what LT doors thinks

We install both B&D and Eco garage doors across Wollongong, so we can give you a straight comparison: the Panelift is the proven, no-fuss option — it's been Australia's benchmark sectional door for decades, and the price reflects a simpler feature set than B&D's own step-up model, the Panelift Icon (stainless steel cables, quieter Smooth Track™ guides, and a higher spring-cycle rating). For most homeowners after a reliable, well-known door without paying for the extras, the standard Panelift does the job well. If you want the quieter operation or the wider colour range, ask us about the Icon upgrade when you get your quote.

What makes the Panelift different

There's a reason B&D was rated Australia's most trusted and most reliable garage door brand in independent research (Kentar, 2019) — the Panelift was the door that set the standard for sectional garage doors in Australia, and the design (pinch-free concealed hinges, custom-designed guides) has been refined over decades rather than being a newer market entrant's first attempt. It's a known quantity, backed by a manufacturer that's been in the Australian market for over 60 years.

Colours and finishes

A broad COLORBOND colour range (including Dover White, Surfmist, Shale Grey, Classic Cream, Paperbark, Dune, Woodland Grey, Deep Ocean, Ironstone and Monument, plus a Matt steel finish and additional shades like Cottage Green, Manor Red and Basalt — surcharges apply to some), and Knotwood™ timber-look finish on the Seville profile.

Which profile should you choose?

The Nullarbor gives a flat, minimalist look; the Seville has a modern ribbed line and is the only standard profile available in the Knotwood timber finish; the Statesman and Grange are classic geometric panel designs that can take Stockton-style window inserts. If you'd rather compare against LT Doors' Eco range instead, the Eco Slimline and Eco Ultraline sit in similar style territory.

Installation, warranty and upgrades

Measured, supplied and installed by LT Doors' licensed local team, backed by a written workmanship guarantee alongside B&D's manufacturer warranty. Worthwhile upgrades: Insul-Shield™ insulation (also helps with noise and temperature), wireless safety beam, bristle seals against dust and leaves, Storm-Shield™ wind rating, and BAL-Maze™ bushfire protection for escarpment-adjacent properties.
