AlluGuard roller door, Stalybridge

October 31, 2021 by Pennine Garage Doors

Alluguard automatic roller door, Stalybridge

We recently installed this roller door for a customer in Stalybridge, Tameside. Made by AlluGuard, these doors are fully insulated, which will keep the rooms above the garage warmer in the winter.

Chosen in a modern anthracite grey colour to match the front door, this garage door is fully automatic and simple to use. This door is a "compact" type, which is handy if there isn't as much height as usual, a compact roller door is designed so that the roll doesn't take up too much space when rolled up. With cars getting taller, we find customers are often looking to gain height and width to their garage door openings. We offer solutions for such situations.

We always dispose of your old garage door for you, they are recycled responsibly. We then tidy up the brickwork opening of any old sealant. We can then fit your new door with our usual care and attention to detail. This door was finished off by framing the door in matching anthracite uPVC. Which looks nice and is easy to clean.

The door featured its own integral alarm, which is reliable and will only sound if the door is forced. It comes with two remote controls as standard. We can also provide an emergency way to open the door if you have no other door access into the garage.

Roller doors are very popular. They are secure, insulated, automated and come in a variety of colours including wood grain. For a closer look, please feel free to browse the AlluGuard brochure here. You can also contact us to arrange a free survey.

Hörmann Elegance door, Dukinfield, Tameside

January 16, 2020 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann Elegance style door, Dukinfield, Tameside.

A recently installation by the Pennine Garage Doors team of a Hörmann, manual canopy door in anthracite grey. The door was chosen to match the new anthracite windows and front door, as well as replacing the old door which had become awkward to use. The Elegance style with it's simple design is aptly named. As you can see, this is a neat modern design that looks well on most house styles and is available in a wide range of colours and finishes.

Our first task was to remove the old door and the timber frame it was in. This often leaves old paint and sealant on the bricks and a line where the brickwork has aged, which sometimes can be cleaned up, but if not, we use matching uPCV to neatly cover the old brickwork and it boxes in the door nicely (as shown in close up).

The new door comes in its own steel frame, which has many benefits including security (no gaps to tamper with) and the fact it will not require painting like woodwork does. We take care fitting the door so it is nice and level with minimum gap under the door, depending on the floor level (the door has to be level). We can also provide solutions for a rubber weatherstip threshold, which bonds to the floor and will stop drafts and debris from blowing under the door.

We also pay good attention to how the door is setup, such as the spring tension. This means the door is very balanced, easy to use and will not put a strain on any parts. We provide a "door servicing service" where we can take care of your door and its maintenance annually or bi-annually, this helps to maintain your warranty and also keeps your door running smooth and looking smart (we clean it too!)

Please feel free to contact us for any enquiries you have or to arrange a free survey and quote. You can find more information on this type of door in the Hörmann brochure.

Hörmann Finesse door, Hadfield, Glossop

Hörmann Finesse style door, Hadfield, Glossop

This recently installed garage door is a Hörmann up and over door, chosen in a modern looking "Finesse" style in anthracite grey with white surrounds. The job was in Hadfield, Glossop, one of our local areas.

The door is a manual type of garage door, unlike most old up and over doors though, Hörmann doors open effortlessly and we install and balance them so that they are easy to use. On this installation we first of all removed the old door and timber frame, which all gets recycled. The new Hörmann door comes in its own steel frame, this is so that the whole unit is functions seamlessly and is much more secure than old door that often only have one latch.

These doors can also be automated at a later date if desired, although they are best fitted on a track system if you are thinking of automating the door. You can always ask us for any advice on your garage door needs, we are always happy to help you choose the right door for you home and requirements.

After we had removed the old door, we were left with the brickwork opening, which we cleaned up of old sealants and paint. We could then lift the new door and frame as one unit into place. The door is then set out neatly making sure it is plumb, level and central, it can then be fixed in place securely. The front of the door is trimmed around with matching white PVCu trims and a nice new fascia where timber cladding had previously been. Nothing will need painting anymore and they whole front of the installation can be cleaned with soapy water to keep it looking new.

Hörmann up and over doors and available in a wide range of colours and styles to suit any home. Please feel free to take a look at the brochure, you can also contact us to arrange a survey or for any advice.

AlluGuard roller doors, Denshaw, Oldham

September 28, 2019 by Pennine Garage Doors

AlluGuard roller doors, Denshaw, Oldham

A recent project by the Pennine Garage Doors team, to install a pair of AlluGuard automatic roller doors on this property in the lovely scenic area of Denshaw, Oldham. The doors were chosen in a anthracite grey colour.

With nice views all around it and being a bit exposed to the elements, this garage will benefit from having these AlluGuard roller doors. Not only are they insulated, but they also seal to the floor unlike a normal up and over door, which requires a gap and can often let the weather and leaves into the garage in certain situations.

Our team started by removing the old doors and timber frames from the stone opening. We then cleaned up the stonework of any old sealants and paint and prepared the doors for installation. The legs/tracks and framework is installed first, making sure that everything is level and plumb. Then the control box and curtain can be installed and any pvc trims on the outside that might be needed.

Due to this garage being exposed to the weather and the natural stone, instead of sealing the job up to the stone, it was decided to point it in with a solid mortar mix. This will set nice and strong and dry a close colour to the existing mortar.

AlluGuard automatic roller doors are a great choice for many reasons. They come with an internal control box featuring a light which stays on for a short time during and after the door is operated, the box also has an integral (LOUD) alarm that will only trigger if the door is tampered with. Two remote controls are provided as standard. The door features a safety system which will stop and auto reverse if the door comes into contact with anything during operation.

Teckentrup sectional door, Northwich

Teckentrup sectional door, Northwich, Cheshire

A recent installation by our team of a Teckentrup sectional garage door. For a lovely customer in Northwich, who chose the door in anthracite grey to match the front door of the house.

The job was installed over two days to ensure everything ran smoothly and wasn't rushed. Due to the nature of the installation, we fit this door to a sturdy timber subframe, which was built up after the removal of the old door and frame. The legs of the frame were sat off the ground by an inch, this is so that the legs won't soak up water from the floor and rot over time. The frame was then overclad in matching uPVC.

We always take your old door away from site, as well as other materials that are removed. Most of our waste is recycled. After removing the old door, we took the time to clean the brickwork of old sealants and filled holes left by wooded pads with mortar.

The new door can then be assembled in place, starting with the frame and track system, the remote control system and panels are then installed lastly. We also used matching uPVC to clad over the frame and sealed the job up.

Teckentrup sectional door are a very high quality product and have many benefits over a standard up-and-over door. They are thermally insulated, highly secure, there is no kickout of the door meaning you can park near to the door and simple to use with just the push of a button.

If you would like more information, please feel free to browse the Teckentrup brochure, or contact us to arrange a free survey.
