Hörmann Georgian garage door, Marple

Hörmann Georgian door. Marple, Stockport.

Installation of a Hörmann Georgian style garage door for a customer in Marple, Stockport. Chosen in white, this is a manual up-and-over door that is a popular choice with our customers.

The old doors we removed were a pair of wooden side hinged doors that had become worn and awkward to use. The customer had just moved into the house and this door is a great addition to their new home. We were even complimented by neighbors after fitting the door. We take pride in our work and it's nice when people notice.

Hömann canopy doors are very solid steel doors that operate manually with ease. They are also available as automated doors if there is room inside the garage for the operator etc. Extra locking points can be added to the door at a small cost, but even with standard locking points, these doors are very secure.

The powder coated paint finish on this white door is durable and UV stable, so it won't fade or go yellow over time, like some of the cheaper doors out there. We will not sell or install any products that don't meet a certain standard we expect.

The "work in progress" photo shows the door wedged into place after being set out nice and level and central in the opening of where we needed to fit it. The door is then fixed on the inside to the brickwork using solid brackets and fixing that are supplied with the door.

The outside can then be trimmed around the frame with matching uPVC trims and fascia board. The whole job is then neatly sealed up, which we always do using masking tape to leave a nice tidy line. This job was sealed in a rosewood colour which won't look dirty over time like white sealant can.

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 sectional door, Ashton Under Lyne

November 18, 2017 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hormann sectional, Georgian panel. Ashton Under Lyne.

This double size, automatic sectional garage door was fitted for a customer in Ashton Under Lyne, Tameside. A Georgian panel design was chosen, in a rosewood colour to match other features on the house.

The old door was first safely removed, as well as the old garage door remote control system and all of the timber frame around the door. All materials were removed from site and will be disposed of, or recylcled.

Once we had an empty brickwork opening, we could then start to build a new sturdy timber sub-frame for the new door and build the framework of the door itself. The actual garage door panels are fitted towards the end of the installation, as well as the automation system.

Sectional doors have a range of benefits, they are insulated to provide a good weather barrier, especially if your garage leads into your house. They are highly secure, as well as being safe and simple to operate. You can also park your vehicle close to the door, as they open vertically with no "kick out".

As you can see from the close up image, we neatly clad around the door using matching rosewood uPVC trims and also installed a new fascia above the door. The whole job was sealed up in rosewood silicone too.

Hormann Georgian. Stalybridge, Tameside

Hormann Georgian garage door, Stalybridge, Tameside.

This recent installation was for a customer in Stalybridge, Tameside, on the Mottram Rise estate, where we have fitted many garage doors, from single canopy doors like this, to large double automatic doors.

The job was to replace the old garage door with something more modern and easy to use but also to replace old timber frames that had started to rot with weather exposure. So the first stage was to remove the old door and timber frame, which we dispose of and recycle as appropriate.

The new Hormann canopy door was then fitted and adjustments made to maximise the efficiency when using the door. We also clad around the door in white uPVC, and made a new "Spanish Arch" out of uPVC to go above the door. The whole job was then sealed up using high quality silicone and everything left tidy.

Hormann up-and-over (canopy) doors come in a wide range of styles and colours. Please view the brochure for a closer look, or contact us to arrange a free survey.

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.
