Carteck sectional garage door, Wilmslow

Installed this week for a customer at this nice house in Wilmslow. Chosen in a anthracite grey colour with a satin finish, this fully automatic door is a great finishing touch to this home.

Sectional type garage doors are one of the highest standards of door we install for customers. They consist of four horizontal panels that open directly upwards and into the gararge. This means there is no kick out like many up and over types of door.

We install all of our doors with care and attention to detail, whatever type of door you have. All our finishing touches and framing with uPVC trims or flatboard etc are done neatly with no mess left afterwards. We are always tidy and remove all materials from site too, which we recycle where possible. This door was chosen in a nice anthracite grey to match the front door. We framed it in white to give a nice contrast and fresh look.

Other main benefits of sectional garage doors are their security systems, which are highly secure and also that they are fully insulated panels with no gaps around. This creates a grear barrier and will keep your home warmer if attached to the garage or has rooms above. The door is fully automoatic and can be operated simply by using one of the two remotes supplies. Extras are available as well as internal remote push buttons for inside the house, for example.

The operator control box in the garage also has controls for the door and a handy light that will stay on for a short while to illuminate the garage for you while the door has been used. The door also importantly has an integral safety system that will trigger if the door comes into contact with an obstacle. If this happens, the door will stop and reverse.

You can read more about this garage door system in the brochure here or check out this demo video that shows how it all works.

AlluGuard roller doors, Disley, Cheshire

Recently installed for a customer in the lovely area of Disley in Cheshire. Our task, to supply and install three automatic roller doors on this nice, newly built timber garage. The doors are by AlluGuard, the installation is by ourselves at Pennine Garage Doors.

There were no old doors to take out on this job, so we could just concentrate on installing the three made-to-measure doors, all installed to our usual high standards. We’ve been using AlluGuard roller doors for some years now. We only like to use products that we can put our trust in, there may be cheaper products on the market but we believe our customers deserve the quality of products like AlluGuard or Hörmann doors for instance.

These roller doors are fully automatic, fully insulated and are very secure. Each door has its own internal control box with an integral alarm, which will sound if the door is tampered with or forced. Every automatic door also has in-built safety systems that will trigger if the door meets an obstacle whilst in use. If the doorl touches an object, it will stop and reverse partly.

Each door is provided with two remote controls as standard, you can operate the door via its control box too. Extras are available, as well as handy remote push buttons that can be put in the house. Automatic doors not only make life easier by not having to fiddle with locks and opening awkward doors in awkward weather. The other main benefit is your own security. You don’t have to get out of the car to open the door etc. Each control box also has a light that will illuminate the interior garage space while in use and stays on for a couple of minutes too.

As you can see, all roller doors are ordered to the size you require, unlike some standard up-and-over doors for instance that are standard sizes. AlluGuard doors are also available in a wide selection of colours and finishes. Our customers often tell us it’s one of the best things they have bought for their homes, which is lovely to hear.

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Dukinfield

A recent installation of a fully automatic roller door for a customer in Dukinfield, Tameside. Made by Hörmann and chosen in an anthracite grey colour to contrast features on the house and its made a great transformation.

You can see from the previous white garage door in the picture that it was manually operated. Some older doors become awkward to use and our customers who upgrade to automatic garage doors often tell us it’s one of the better things they have spent money on their homes.

Hörmann Rollmatic T doors have many great features including being fully insulated and very secure. The doors are operated by simply pressing a button on one of the two remotes that come supplied, or you can use the buttons on the internal control box to operate the door. The control box also has an internal light that will come on when the door is in use and stay on for a few minutes to help illuminate the garage.

When installing your new garage door, we take great care that everything is nice and level etc. We remove all materials from site and leave your home nice and tidy. After installing this door, we neatly framed the door with matching uPCV trims and sealed up with matching sealants.

Another important feature of any automatic door is that it has a safety system that will not allow the door to crush anything. If the door meets an obstacle while closing, it will stop and reverse safely.

Available in a wide range of colours, these doors look great on any home and are all made to measure in single or double sizes.

Carteck side hinged doors, Halifax

Carteck side hinged doors, Halifax

We recently installed this pair of side hinged garage doors for a customer in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Chosen in anthracite grey to match the windows and door on the house. The doors are made by Carteck and fitted by ourselves at Pennine Garage Doors.

Side hinged doors have come a long way since the old timber type that would swell and rot over time. These Carteck doors and the frames are made from sturdy aluminium. The panels are insulated between the aluminium too which creates a solid barrier to weather and helps to keep the house warm. The doors are installed onto an aluminium floor threshold, which means the gaps around the door are kept to a minimum.

There are many neat features on these doors, such as easy to use door stays to keep the doors open when in use, the windows are a scratch reistant polymer material and the handle is high grade stainless steel. Carteck side hinged doors feature a multi-point locking system, giving the doors high security for peace of mind and they close with a reassuring clunk. The hinges are also made to be tamper proof and of high quality.

We take great care when installing our garage doors. This installation was neatly finished off with a matching trim across the top and then we used a cement based sealant in a tube to point in the sides where the stonework is. We find this gives a nice finish that matches the pointing on the stonework and doesn’t stand out like silicone sealant would.

Carteck side hinges garage doors can be ordered with the door split in the middle, or off the one side. Available in a wide range of styles, colours and amazing window options (including round ones), these doors are at the top end of quality in side hinge door.

Carteck sectional doors, Preston

September 18, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

Carteck sectional automatic doors, Preston

We recently installed these two Carteck sectional garage doors for a customer in Preston. They look stunning with the window option chosen and the customer was very happy with these gorgeous modern and fully automatic garage doors.

The old type of door shown in the picture is firstly dismantled and removed from the garages. Everything we remove is disposed of responsibly and steel etc mostly gets recycled. We can then go about preparing the brickwork openings, removing any old sealants and paint.

The new doors can then start to be installed. We start with the framework of the new Carteck doors and then the track system. The panels are the last item we install and we are always careful to set our doors up correctly so that everything runs smoothly. We also take great care with our pcv work on the front of the garages too and we take pride in our finishing touches.

Carteck sectional garage doors are very simple to use. Each door comes with two remote controls as standard and the doors will open at the press of a button. Each remote also has multiple buttons, meaning that we can code both doors into each remote, so the customer can open any of the doors with any remote control. Extra remotes or internal push buttons are available should you need more. The doors also feature safety systems that won’t allow the door to crush anything. If the door touches an obstacle while closing, it will simply stop and reverse.

These doors are about as good as it gets in terms of quality and security. We have installed many Carteck doors over the years and our customers tell us they love them. Fully insulated and simple to use, they will keep lasting and looking great for many years.

Most types of garage doors are recommended to have a regular service to keep them working smoothly and to avoid stress on parts. We offer to service our doors annually at very reasonable prices where we spend a good bit of time cleaning and lubricating relevant parts, inspecting all fixings, checking safety system and adjusting spring tension as this can change over time. The doors also get a thorough clean. This helps to avoid strain on parts, like the motor and will keep your garage doors working and looking just like new.

Available is many styles and colours to suit any home, for a closer look at the product and options available, you can view the brochure here.
