Teckentrup sectional door, Heswall, Wirral

Teckentrup sectional door, Heswall, Wirral.

A recent installation of a Teckentrup sectional garage door for a customer in Heswall, Wirral. Sectional garage doors are amongst the finest garage doors available. This garage door was chosen in a white silk grain finish, which will stay looking nice for many years.

Our first task was the removal of the old door and timber frame. We could then clean up the brickwork of old sealants and start to plan where exactly to fit the new door within the opening. We then fixed two sturdy timbers to the brickwork for the door to be installed to. These timbers were sat off the ground by about 30mm to avoid any damp being soaked up.

We could then start to install the main framework of the door and interior track and spring systems. The tracks are supported by a number of well placed sturdy fixing points into ceiling joists and the rear of the tracks are fixed to the walls. When everything is in place, the weight and load of the door is nicely spread evenly over these fixing points.

The automation system is installed, then the panels are carefully lifted into place and the rollers and hinges are all connected. The door can then be attached to the spring system and the motor, which goes through a sequence of balancing and weighing the door to provide optimum motor operation.

While this is being done, we are also finishing off the outside of the door. The door sits behind the timber frame, we clad this frame in white (uv stable) uPVC. This gives a nice feature to the installation and helps to avoid the whole thing looking too flat. The job is then sealed up in a suitable colour, on this brickwork, we chose a buff colour (see closeup pic). We know how much people love their homes and we take pride in our work.

This door will provide many benefits over the old door. Teckentrup sectional doors are of the highest standards in door technology. The panels are fully insulated and the door seals neatly to the floor with no gaps, unlike most up and over doors require. Customers who's garage lead into their house tell us that it makes a big difference after having an insulated garage door. The door is simple to use, with just the press of a button, the door will open/close and a temporary light on the operator with illuminate the area for a couple of minutes.

AlluGuard black roller door, Glossop, Derbyshire.

This automatic AlluGuard roller door was recently installed for a customer in Glossop, Derbyshire. One of our main local areas. The door was chosen in black to match the front door and helps to retain a nice classic look with the house.

The old up and over door was removed, along with the old fascia and timber framework. The new door has its own alluminium frame and nothing on the installation will need painting, just wiping with warm, soapy water. The new door is much easier to operate than a manual door, with just the push of a button. No more fiddling with keys in the rain etc, automatic doors are a big hit with our customers that have made the decision to have one installed.

Alluguard roller doors come with two remote controls as standard, plus you can operate the door from the internal control box. They feature a loud, integral alarm that will activate if anyone tampers with the door and conform to "Police Preferred Specification". They are also insulated, which is a good feature if your garage leads into your house, or if you have rooms above the garage. There is also a safety system that means the door with stop and reverse if the door comes into contact with anything during operation.

This customer can now access the garage entrance much safer and easier, plus it has given their home a nice new look. Automatic doors are a sound investment for people who require easy access to their garage. We are always glad to help and advise when deciding on a new garage door.

Hörmann sectional door, Diggle, Oldham

Hörmann sectional door, Diggle, Oldham

A recent installation by our team of a Hörmann sectional, automatic garage door for a customer in Diggle, Oldham. The door was chosen in white silk grain finish, with a black frame to compliment the front door colours. We had some nice weather and lovely views on this job too 🙂

We started by removing the old door which had an old garage door operator and was in need of replacing. Unlike the old door, this new Hörmann sectional door is fully insulated. It opens vertically which means a car can be parked close to the door due to it having no kick-out. The door has a heavy duty bottom rubber seal that provides a barrier to the floor to stop any weather and leaves gathering in the garage (a common problem with up and over doors).

After removing the old door and frame, we cleaned up the stonework opening and could then start to build up the framework and tracks of the new sectional door. Great care is taken so that the frame and tracks are all level, plumb and fixed securely. When the track system is fitted, we can then install the actual garage door panels and link them to the spring system and operating system.

A Hörman Supramatic automation system was used to power this door, they are highly reliable and very simple to use. All you have to do is push a button on your remote control fob. Other features of this door include a safety system that will stop and reverse if the door comes into contact with anything. This is to avoid any accidents with automated doors. As mentioned, they are insulated and this customer will notice that the room above the door will benefit from this too, for example.

We provide a service plan for any door we fit which will keep your new door and its safety featured maintained on an annual or bi-annual basis, including a full check of all door features, fixings, lubrication and door cleaning. All garage door require a certain amount of attention to keep them running smooth and avoiding stress on parts etc.

AlluGuard roller doors, Denshaw, Oldham

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, Padfield, Glossop

Teckentrup sectional garage door, Padfield

This elegant looking Teckentrup sectional door was recently fitted for a customer in the lovely area of Padfield, just near Glossop. It is a large, automatic double door in a rosewood finish.

The project was quite a transformation to the garage, which was previously a double garage with two separate doors and a stone pillar in the middle of the opening. Working alongside the builder we use, the brick pillar was taken down and relevant lintels installed so that the opening was suitable for one large automatic door.

We first had to remove all the shuttering that was boarding the opening up, after that we proceeded to install a sturdy timber frame, being careful to keep the legs off the ground, so it won't soak up water and rot at the bottom. This frame was eventually covered neatly in rosewood uPCV and sealed off from the weather.

The Teckentrup sectional door was chosen due to it being able to handle such large garage door opening. These garage doors are of the highest quality and have many handy features, such as being well insulated and closing to the floor, so there is no gap under the door like with an up and over door. They are highly secure and feature an internal light when in use and stays on for a couple of minutes. The system is built to last, and with some simple maintenance will last many years.

As you can see from the pictures, Teckentrup sectional door are usually divided into four panels which are hinged and open into a track system in the garage, the spring system is divided into a number of separate springs to avoid too much tension on them.

We find that customers love these doors once installed. They are a good choice for anyone wanting extra security or looking to keep the house warmer if the garage leads into it, or if there are rooms above. Feedback tells us that these doors do indeed make a difference.
