Hörmann canopy door, Denton

September 19, 2025 by Pennine Garage Doors

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.

SWS roller door, Denton, Tameside

January 31, 2025 by Pennine Garage Doors

SWS roller door, Denton

This fully automatic roller door was fitted with the usual care and attention by Phil and Dan for Phils neighbour. Thanks to Phils cat for keeping a watchful eye on things too!

As you can see from the “before” photo, the previous garage door had been in some years and had served its time. The customer wanted a nice new automatic roller door to make things much easier. With more customers using electric charging points for cars, we are finding people are welcoming the ease of access an automatic door gives for this purpose too.

Chosen in anthracite grey, it compliments the lighter brickwork nicely and has a range of benifits including being simple to use by just pressing a button on one of the two remotes supplied with each door, the doors are fully insulated, which is good if the garage leads into the house, the doors have good security and an integral alarm if the door is tampered with.

All automatic doors we fit have safety systems that wont allow the door to crush anything for instance. If the door comes into contact with an obstacle it will stop and reverse. It’s important to maintain and check such systems and we offer our customers an affordable yearly garage door service that checks and cleans all components, lubrication, keeps springs balanced correctly etc and a thorough clean of the door. It will keep your door just like new for years to come.

You can see in the pictures how when we sometimes remove the old door and frame, it can leave the brickwork looking messy. We clean this up where we can and then neatly use uPVC flatboard to encase the installation in matching trims. All the old materials and old door are removed from site and recycled where possible.

The door also has an internal Somfy control box that you can use to operate the door. It has a handy light that comes on when the door is in use and stays on for a couple of minutes to provide light to the garage. As you can see, our wiring and installations are always nice and neat. We also supplied the customer with an internal push button which a lot of people find very handy to have in the house too.

The cute cat does not come with the door by the way, hehe

Please contact us if you would like to arrange a free survey and quote, we are always happy to help with finding the ideal door to suit your needs.

Alluguard automatic roller door, Denton

June 16, 2024 by Pennine Garage Doors

Alluguard roller door, Denton, Tameside

We installed this fully automatic roller door for a customer in our local area of Denton in Tameside, the door replaced an old manual door that had become awkward to use. This new door opens with the simple press of a button.

The apex in white above the door was in good condition and left in place, although we did clean that too after installing the door to complete a nice new look. The old door and frame was first removed and as always, removed from site. All of our steel scrap is recylcled and waste disposed of responsibly.

The new garage door is made by Alluguard and is fully automatic. The door comes with two remote controls as standard and also an internal control box that can also operate the door. There is a light on the control box that comes on when the door is in use and stays on for a short while, which is handy to briefly illuminate your garage. Alluguard doors are fully insulated too with a sturdy rubber seal on the bottom of the door curtain, meaning there are no gaps around the door and it seals nicely to the floor. Customers with rooms that adjoin the garage tell us that it does indeed make a difference in winter for example.

The control box also has an alarm system within it that will only sound if the door is forced in any way. Alluguard doors are very secure and are backed by the Police’s “Secured by design” specifications.

The door comes in its own alluminium frame which we finished off by cladding it with a matching uPVC fascia and trims and neatly sealing it up. Lastly, we always tidy up and leave your property as you would like it.

Alluguard roller doors are also available in a range of colours and woodgrain finishes. If you would like to see more about this type of garage door, you can view the brochure here.

Hörmann garage door, Denton, Tameside

Hörmann canopy door, Denton, Tameside

A recent installation of ours for a customer in our local area of Denton, Tameside. The project was to give the garage front a nice new look. The customer chose a nice ruby red, which looks smart in its neat white frame.

The garage door is made by Hörmann and is a manual (canopy) door. There was lots of old timber around the door which we removed until we had a nice brickwork opening. Hörmann canopy doors come in their own steel frames, which provides much greater security that older doors. They new Hörmann door features multi point locking and there are no gaps around the where anyone can tamper with it.

As you can see from the in progress photo, after we had cleaned up the brickwork opening, we could then install the door, first making sure it is level and central etc. We then started by building a timber studding above the door which we could clad over with a nice white uPVC fascia board. The frame is then clad in matching white uPVC and neatly sealed up. We always take pride in our finishing touches and we use masking tape to create nice neat lines.

When we install any manual doors, we always set the spring tension up so that the door does most of the work themselves, making them very easy to use. Garage doors do loose spring tension over time and we provide many of our customers with an affordable annual service, where the spring tension is checked as well as all components. We also lubricate necessary parts and the door gets cleaned. We find it helps to keep you new door working and looking like new.

CarTeck side hinged doors, Haughton Green

CarTeck side hinged doors, Haughton Green

A recent installation of a pair of side hinged garage doors for a customer in Haughton Green, Denton. Made by CarTeck, Teckentrup, these doors are of a very high standard and very easy to use.

Unlike timber side hinged doors, these doors from CarTeck do not require a timber frame, the steel frame on these doors are part of the unit that is made to measure to the garage opening size. They don’t require any gaps around the door either, they are fully insulated and come with an aluminium floor threshold that is bonded to the floor. This gives a perfectly level surface for the door, with no gabs underneath.

This door was chosen with an off-centre split but you can also have the door split in the middle (like this recent post shows). CarTeck side hinged doors can be ordered with or without windows and there are numerous window options to choose from to suit any features on your home.

The handle and locking system on these doors are also very good and the doors close with a reassuring click. The doors feature easy to use door-stays that release by simply pushing the door a little bit further open. The finish is very durable and unlike old timber doors, nothing needs painting. The door can be wiped down with soapy water and will stay looking like new.
