Paul,<br>
I'm not aware of the existence of such a thing. But I said that of
pull-down attic ladders - until I saw a remarkable Swedish metal
unit that sealed tight as a bank vault.<br>
The cost, however,t was enough to make most homeowners blanch.<br>
<br>
I suspect any garage door capable of sealing properly would echo
that sticker-shock.<br>
A less expensive option would be to construct a sealed, insulated,
seasonal inner door/barrier, and to accept the limitations of the
prime garage door. Done properly, you should onlylose a small
portion of floor space.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps. <br>

Thanks to all for the fascinating learning experiences on this
list.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just a private enquiry, and after largely lurking here for
several years I feel I should know the answer to this, but can
anyone point me to the right way to go with finding some (or an)
environmentally optimal, well-draught-proofed and
well-insulated, door(s) for a built-in garage, preferably of a
sort available in the UK, for our house.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The garage is within the (ground-level) thermal envelope of
the house, and is used largely for storage, but possibly for
future use as a workshop if it can be well insulated (and
cleared out!).</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Our house is 1955 cavity wall of typical brick and concrete
block construction in the English east midlands, and our
existing side-hung softwood doors, with windows in them, have
suffered poor maintenance over the years since the house was
built, but are otherwise aesthetically pleasing to us.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in anticipation.<br clear="all">
