Hörmann RollMatic T, Dukinfield

Hörmann RollMatic T roller door, Dukinfield

We recently installed this Hörmann RollMatic T automatic roller door for a customer in Dukinfield. Chosen in a brown colour to match the features of the house. The RollMatic range of doors is also available in a wide range of colours, as well as wood grain finishes that will suit any home.

Each of this type of garage door is made to measure. This means we can install the door with as much width and height as required by the customer. We tend to find that width is sometimes an issue when fitting certain vehicles in a garage. Old door often have mechanisms that take up valuable width space. So the RollMatic T is great at giving you the side room you need due to the neat framing system. Opening vertically with no kick-out also means you can park a vehicle close to the door on the outside of the garage too.

As with every garage door we fit, the old garage door and any timber frames are removed from site and disposed of responsibly by ourselves. All of our automatic doors feature safety systems that do not allow the door to crush anything. They will simply stall and reverse if coming into contact with an object. We also provide periodic garage door service calls to maintain and test the door and safety systems etc.

This installation required an emergency release mechanism fitted. This is when there is no other access to the garage other than the garage door. Should a power failure occur, the customer can simply use a lock on the front of door to release a lock-barrel and gain access to a manual crank system that can be used to open and close the door manually. Once the power is back on, the door will continue to work as it did before.

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.

AlluGuard roller door, Dukinfield, Tameside

AlluGuard roller door, Dukinfield, Tameside

This modern looking roller door was recently fitted for a customer in Dukinfield, Tameside. An AlluGuard automatic roller door in a rosewood finish was chosen to match features on the house. We think you'll agree, it suits this home nicely.

The old garage door we removed was a manual up-and-over type. It had become awkward to use, so a new garage door was decided on. In a situation like this, where the garage leads into the house via another internal door, the AlluGuard automatic roller door is a superb upgrade to the home and features many benefits over a normal garage door.

The door is fully automatic and operates at the touch of a button. Two keyfobs are provided, plus the door can be operated from a control box inside the garage. This control box also features an in-built alarm system that will only trigger if the door is tampered with.

Alluguard roller doors are also fully insulated and require no gaps around them like manual doors do. They seal to the floor and our customers tell us there is a noticeable difference when there are rooms above the garage.

We always remove the old door from site and any timber frames etc. This door was installed in its own aluminium frame and does not require painting in the future. A simple wipe down with a damp cloth or mild soapy water will keep these (UV stable) doors looking like new for years to come. The outside of the door was finished off by lining the brickwork with matching rosewood uPVC, this provided a neat finish, as well as covering up the brickwork edges that were stained by old paint and sealants.

Hörmann Georgian door, Dukinfield, Tameside

Hörmann Georgian garage door, Dukinfield, Tameside

A recently installed up and over, Hörmann Georgian garage door for a customer in our local area of Dukinfield, Tameside.

Most of the manual canopy (up and over) garage doors that we install are made by Hörmann. Manufactured in Germany to high standards, these doors are reliable, easy to use and long lasting.

This property had an old garage door in a timber frame that had become awkward to use. This popular Georgian style door was chosen to replace it. We started by removing the old door and the timber frame, taking everything back to a brickwork opening. After tidying the brickwork up of old sealants etc, we can then lift the new door into place. These doors come in their own steel frame, which is much better than a timber frame for security and also for easy maintenance.

We take care when fitting our doors that everything is nice and level and plumb. When the door is in place, it can then be fixed securely internally and the outside of the door is trimmed around in matching uPVC and neatly sealed to the brickwork, we always mask our sealing up, so you get a nice neat finish (as shown in the close up pic).

Hormann Georgian garage door, Dukinfield

Hormann Georgian black door in Dukinfield.

We recently fitted this classic Georgian style door for a customer in our local area of Dukinfield. The door was ordered to match a new black front door that had been installed.

As you can see from the "before" picture, we removed the old garage door and all of the timber frame and fascia, so we were left with just the brick opening. The new Hormann door comes in its own steel frame, after installing the door, we finished the job off with a white uPVC fascia and legs, which frames the garage door in the same style as the front door.

As with all jobs, we set up the spring tension of the door to work at maximum efficiency and ease of use. The old door and timber were removed from site and the whole job left neat and tidy. The customer was very happy with the job and how it had completed the new look of their home.

Hormann garage doors are a leader in door technology and we use their products with confidence. If you would like more information, please feel free to browse the brochure, or contact us to arrange a free survey.
