Carteck sectional door, Ellesmere Port

We recently installed this double sized sectional garage door for a customer in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. Manufactured by Carteck, this type of garage door is a top of the range automatic door with many benefits and features.

As per usual, we take care with our installations and its always nice to have a nicely built, level opening such as this garage has. We start by removing the old door (if there is one), we remove all materials off site and recycle where we can. We can then clean up the brickwork opening of any old sealants etc.

The door can then be installed, with a sectional door the framework is the first to go in, making sure everything is level, plumb and fixed well. The track system and springs are added and the last component to be installed are the panels themselves. Sectional doors comprise of four horizontal panels that are hinged and open opwards and inwards on a track system. You can see a demonstration here.

Any finishing off trims and sealing up is also done on the outside of the door too. Sectional garage doors are very secure and are fully insulated. We have good feedback from customers with rooms adjoining the garage that they notice a big difference with insulation. The door has a sturdy rubber seal that comes into contact with the floor too.

Like with all automatic doors, there is a built in safety system that kicks in if the door comes into contact with an obstacle during operation. The door will simply stop and reverse. Other features includes an internal light that stays on during use and for a short while afterwards. Two remote controls are supplied as standard and we can supply other solutions such as remote, wall mounted push buttons. The customer can download an app to a smartphone too and operate the door via their phone.
