Hörmann garage door, Glossop, Derbyshire

Hörmann elegance garage door, Glossop, Derbyshire

Recently installed for a customer in Glossop, this garage door looks stunning on the house. The door is made by Hörmann and was chosen in anthracite grey (RAL 7016) in a white frame to match the front door.

The style of door is called the "elegance", it is a canopy (manual) door and is one of the newer styles of Hörmann garage doors. It is made from steel and is very durable and secure. As with all of our installations, our first task was to remove the old door which had become harder to use and worn. We also remove any old timber frame and then clean up the stone or brickwork opening of old sealants. All materials are disposed of responsibly and recycled where possible.

When we install any of doors, we always set them up so they are nicely balanced and easy to use. This means that not only is the door easy to use, it is also not putting unnecessary strain on any parts. A manual, canopy door should do most of the lifting itself and open with ease. We also service garage doors, most customers have a yearly service to help keep the door nicely balance and thoroughly cleaned to keep it looking and working like new.

As you can see by the close-up photographs, after fitting the door, we neatly clad around it with white uPVC and seal up in an appropriate colour of sealant, we pay attention to detail with our finishing touches and our customers are very happy with the results when finished. We always leave things nice and tidy too, which we know means a lot to people having work done on their homes.

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Glossop

April 5, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Glossop, Derbyshire.

Our team at Pennine Garage Doors recently installed this lovely Hörmann Rollmatic T door for a customer in Glossop. The door is fully automated and operates at the simple touch of a button. The colour is anthracite grey (RAL 7016), which looks well with the light coloured stone.

As with all our jobs, we first remove the old installation, including any old timber frame, which are all removed from site and mainly recycled. This door needed to be fitted a little bit further back than the old one for the door to fit nicely. When we do this, we line the brickwork with matching uPVC which frames the door nicely (as you might see in the pictures).

Roller doors are a very popular choice with our customers and we have installed lots in Glossop and other areas we cover. People always seem very pleased with their purchase and we have very positive feedback on our installations. We have always prided ourselves with our neat finishing touches and leaving jobs nice and tidy.

Hörmann roller doors are very secure and are insulated, which is a big benefit for anyone with rooms above or adjoining the garage. Unlike the old door, the Hörmann Rollmatic T doesn't require gaps around it and seals nicely to the floor.

AlluGuard roller door, Stalybridge

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

October 25, 2019 by Pennine Garage Doors

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.
