Hörmann canopy door, Tameside

Hörmann canopy garage door, Tameside

Recently installed by our team, this “chartwell green” up-and-over style garage door was chosen to match other features of the same colour on the house. The previous white door is shown in the pictures below to show the difference this lovely installation has made.

Hörmann canopy doors (up and over) are much better than the older types of door we often replace. Made of steel and avaialable in a wide range of styles and colours, these doors are very secure and come in their own steel frame. This reduces the gaps around the door often required with older doors fitted into timber frames. We also fitted a weatherseal to the floor which is optional but closes the gap under the door and keeps weather and leaves out. The door shuts snuggly against the lip on the weatherseal.

With this new door, the timber frame is not needed. So our first job is to remove the door itself in a safe manner (customers should never try to remove a door, due to spring tension that can be dangerous). Then we can remove the timber frame and clean up the brickwork opening of any old sealants etc. We can then lift the new door and frame into place as one unit.

The door is set out neatly in its opening, being careful to fit it level and plumb, so the door operates as it should. Once we are happy with its position, we can fix it into place with the sturdy fixings provided. We then clad the frame in uPVC to neatly frame the door. This also makes it easy to clean and no more painting frames! Lastly the job is neatly sealed up and we always tidy up and remove old materials and the old door from site.

Hörmann canopy door and very easy to operate when setup correctly, we can also provide a service on the door periodically to maintain the spring tension and keep it clean plus lubricated.

Hörmann canopy door, Denton

Hörmann canopy door, Denton, Tameside

Recently installed for a customer in our local area of Denton. This job required us to rebuild some of the front of the garage and to install a new garage door. The door is made by Hörmann and was chosen in a nice rosewood finish. It is a manual up-and-over type door. The style is known as the “Elegance”.

We first started by removing the old door and frame (see pic below), we could then see what we were dealing with. We renewed the front timber above the door as it had rotted a bit. Rather than cladding over it and leaving the wood to rot further, the right thing to do was to replace it. We also clad it neatly with a white uPVC capping board and black roofing trim above it. The white frame gives the door a nice contrast in colour.

Hörmann canopy doors come in their own steel frames. This means there are no gaps to tamper with and the latches/gear provide a very secure system and door. The doors are made of steel and are usually powder coated paint finishes, wood type effects such as this one use a durable foil finish, like uPVC windows etc.

We always install our doors with care and attention so they not only look great but are balanced nicely for ease of use. The door should do most of the lifting for you and can be serviced periodically by us to keep it clean, lubricated and nicely balanced.

We think you’ll agree that this is a nice transformation and the customer was very pleased. We always leave your property tidy and take the old door and materials away to be recycled as appropriate. We want you to enjoy your new door without worrying about mess. We are a family business and have earned a good reputation by providing quality products and installations, we only provide products we trust, rather than cheap doors that won’t last too long.

Hörmann canopy doors are available in a wide range of styles and colours, if you would like to see more on this product, you can view the brochure here.

Hörmann Finesse style door, Glossop

November 13, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann Finesse style garage door, Glossop

Recently installed by our team for a customer in Glossop, Derbyshire. This Hörmann garage door has given the house a fresh modern look. The style of door is known as the “Finesse”, it is a manual canopy door chosen in white with matching uPVC fascia and trims.

As you can see from the “old door” photograph, the previous garage door was crooked in its frame and had become awkward to use. We started by removing the old door and then the timber frame and studding above the door. We are then left with a brickwork opening that we clean up of old sealants and paint, then we can lift the new door into place. We take the time to get the door nice and central and level and then we can fix it into place.

When the door is in it’s final position, we then made a sturdy timber studding to go above the door which the new fascia board covers. You can see how we take pride with our finishing trims and sealing the job neatly to the brickwork. New Hörmann doors come in their own steel frames, so they do not require a timber subframe. Which means no more rotting timbers or painting of wood. It is also good for security because there are no gaps around the door to tamper with.

Security is very good on these doors, the doors come as standard with two sturdy latch points, another two latches can be added as extra. The finish on the doors is very tough and UV stable, meaning it won’t fade in colour over the years. We offer a service plan for customers, which involves an annual service on the door and thorough clean. This helps to meet the manufacturer recommended maintenance and keeps your door working and looking like new.

Hörmann manual canopy doors come in a wide range of styles and colours to suit any home. If you would like to see more about this product, you can view the brochure here.

Hörmann garage doors, Ashton under Lyne

Hörmann garage doors, Rosewood, Ashton under Lyne

Here’s a nice transformation we recently completed for a customer in Ashton under Lyne, Tameside. The old doors had become very awkward and hard to operate. These new doors will open and close effortlessly and look stunning in the modern design chosen by the customer.

The two garage doors are both manual (canopy) garage doors, which we install and setup so that the door does most of the lifting for you. Chosen in the “elegance” design, which is a nice modern style by Hörmann. The rosewood colour matches the windows and doors on the house too.

We started the job by taking out the old door and carefully removing the timber frame. When we have an empty brickwork opening, we then clean up the bricks of any old sealants and paint. This is so that none of the old sealant shows on the new installation. We can then lift the door into place and start to get it central and level. Hörmann doors come in their own steel frame, which helps to add security to the door, as there are no gaps to tamper with and the locking system is integral to the door and frame.

When we are happy with the position of the door, we can fix it using the sturdy fixings provided. Whilst this is happening, we are then installing the matching rosewood uPVC around the frame on the front of the door. We take great care with our finishing touches, as shown in the close-up photo above.

Hörmann canopy doors are a very popular choice with our customers. They are sturdy, easy to operate and very secure, more locking points can also be ordered as a small extra. They are available in many styles and colours that will suit the features on your home.

Hörmann horizontal rib door, Dukinfield

Hörmann horizontal style door, Dukinfield

A recent installation of our team at Pennine Garage doors for a customer in our local area of Dukinfield, Tameside. This job was quite a transformation to this garage, as well as replacing the old door, we also gave the garage a nice clean, new look.

As you can see from the picture, the old door had become quite old and was damaged too. First of all we removed the old door and a timber leg that needed replacing. Due to it being a concrete panel garage, timber legs are needed to help fit the door to. We will always replace rotting timbers if possible and where needed to safely fit the door to.

Once we had a solid frame fixed, we could then lift the door into place and make sure it is a level and central as possible. While we are fitting the door, we are also then looking at installing the new uPVC surrounding the door. We always take care that our finishing touches are neat and as you can see, it has made a nice transformation to the front of this garage.

The new door is a Hörmann horizontal rib style. It is a manual (canopy) garage door that is very easy to operate. The door comes in its own steel frame and features a secure multi point locking system. The finish on the doors is very durable and high quality too. Hörmann are a leader in garage doors and this type of garage door is available in a wide range of colours and style to suit any home.
