Hörmann garage door, Glossop, Derbyshire

May 11, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

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.

If you would like to see the full range of styles and colours available for this type of Hörmann garage door, you can view the brochure here. With styles and colour options to match any home.

Please feel free to contact us for a free survey and quotation. We are always happy to help you with choosing your door.

Hörmann Georgian door, Hadfield, Derbyshire

May 1, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann canopy door, Hadfield, Derbyshire

A lovely recent installation of a Hörmann, Georgian style, canopy (manual) garage door for a customer in Hadfield, Derbyshire. Chosen in black to match the front door and framed in white, which helps to add some contrast to the whole look of the house.

As you can see by the "before" picture, the old door had become a bit tired looking and was getting harder to use, so a new Hörmann door will be much easier to use and adds the final touch to the front of the house. The old door is always removed from site and usually recycled responsibly, the old timber frame and studding above the door was also removed.

This garage opening is quite tall, so a new sturdy studding above the door was built to hold the new plain white uPVC flatboard, which looks smarted than having ridges in the cladding and is also easier to clean. As you can see from the photos, the door is installed first and then we build the studding and final clad the job in uPVC. The products we use are all high quality materials which will not discolour over time.

The garage door is always set up so that the spring is nicely balanced and easy to operate. A manual canopy door should open and close quite easily, doing most of the lifting itself. We can service your garage too periodically to help maintain the spring tension, as well as lubricating and cleaning your door. We find it keeps your garage door working and looking like new.

Hörmann canopy garage doors are much more secure than older style doors. They feature a solid multi point locking system which can also be upgraded to have more latches and locking points. Another good feature is that when the door is in the fully open position, the door gently locks into spring clips that help the door to not drop down if it is windy for example.

If you would like to see more information of this type of door, which is available in many styles and colours, including wood grain finishes, you can view the brochure here.

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, Glossop, Derbyshire

December 18, 2019 by Pennine Garage Doors

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 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.
