That is a nice door (I must be getting old !) and electric would be useful to me. I can only open my door from inside because I disabled the exterior handle after a break-in. I have an internal bolt too.
Do we think it's a good idea to have a sealed door?
My garage is not sealed around the door so it allows draughts which help to reduce the fumes from old cars (not running) and also all the oil, petrol, fluids, paint I keep in it. That is one thing that puts me off integral garages.
I think I would prefer a vent somewhere. There are also gaps around the apexes on my garage which help I think.
you do need air movement rob, stops things rusting. I do like the insulated doors though. I'm a big fan of proper oak framing, however I still fitted electric roller shutter doors as they're so easy, take up no space etc. Apex venting is the best way with a single point lower down to help with some convection.
