Buying garage doors for trade with Origin
Alexandra works in the marketing department, and in 2014, bought her first house, which turned out to be somewhat of a ‘project’. Since then, the whole house has needed renovating, which has helped her gain a knowledge of basic DIY, decorating and making the best of a small space.
When buying any product for trade, it’s important that you make sure that you understand the product and are confident in its quality. This means not only becoming accustomed to how the product is made but also an appreciation of what your customers need and expect from this product.
This is the case with garage doors, as the panel designs and options will differ across manufacturers. At Origin, our aluminium garage doors are created from the highest quality materials and are designed with longevity in mind. If you’re considering selling our garage doors as an Origin Trade Partner, we recommend familiarising yourself and your staff with what we do and some of the things to consider when choosing aluminium doors for trade.

Origin garage doors for trade
The Origin Garage Door is first and foremost renowned for its build quality. A Thermimax core between aluminium layers ensures that your customers are not only safe from intruders but are also well-insulated and protected against damage related to cold weather.
Unlike traditional garage doors, the Origin Garage Door has a side hinge and is in a French Door configuration in the same style as the Origin Front Door. This gives the home a consistent external appearance and allows homeowners to open one or both doors for different degrees of access to their garage.
Furthermore, there are plenty of design options available for your customers to make the most of. Our Kensington and Sandringham garage door ranges offer 10 different panel styles in a range of designs, colours and handle options. The Origin Garage Door also has four threshold options (weathered, non-weathered, mobility or none), so your customers can choose an entry system that suits their households.
Factors to consider when choosing aluminium garage doors for trade
One of the main things to look for when considering aluminium garage doors to trade is the level of quality on offer. Your customers will want to feel assured that they are getting a product that has high levels of security and is hard to breach, without compromising on thermal performance or aesthetics.
After the necessities of safety and security, your customers will look into their design options. They will likely have a colour scheme for the exterior of their homes, and a house with pastel shades might not suit a black or dark grey garage door panel, for example. Offering a variety of garage door styles and colours will mean owners of both old and new homes will have plenty of options to choose from.
Similarly, you need to make it possible for your customers to configure their garage door in a way they like. By offering a range of options, you can make sure that every customer receives exactly what they want from your product.
All of these can only be achieved with a high level of service from your supplier. By having a strong relationship with your supplier, you can ensure that you receive all of the new designs as they are released. A strong relationship between yourself and your supplier can make your service far better for everyone involved.
