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.

Please feel free to contact us to arrange a free survey and quote, we are always happy to help with advice on choosing your ideal door for your home.

Hörmann RollMatic T in Hadfield

Pair of Hörmann RollMatic T doors, Hadfield

Our team at Pennine Garage Doors recently installed this pair of fully automatic Hörmann RollMatic T garage doors for a customer in Hadfield, Glossop. The doors were chosen in a rosewood woodgrain colour and looked quite stunning along with the neat new driveway.

The old doors that were replaced were manual doors that had become a struggle to use. These new automatic doors will be a welcome addition to this home. Our customers often tell us that an automated garage door is one of the best things they've bought for their house! We offer a service plan to help maintain some of our doors and we are always glad to hear feedback over time when re-visiting our valued customers.

You can see in the close-up photo how the control box for the doors is installed just inside the garage. This is done neatly with tidy cabling. You can use the control box to operate the door, as well as having remote controls that come with door. You can also see how we lined the brickwork with white uPVC trims, which helps to frame the doors and give a fresh, clean look. If the whole installation was in rosewood, it would possibly look too dark.

As usual, all of the old doors and timber frames are taken away by ourselves and recycled or disposed of in a responsible manner. You can also see by the pictures just how tidy we like to leave our jobs too.

If you would like any help with choosing a door, you can contact us to arrange a free (covid safe) survey.

You can take a look at the Hörmann RollMatic T doors in more detail in the brochure here. Why not have a look at what many of our customers are saying in the review section.

Hörmann Finesse door, Hadfield, Glossop

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.

Hörmann garage doors. Hadfield, Glossop

Hörmann Elegance garage doors, Glossop

We installed a classic looking "Elegance" style garage door on the house on the right of the picture. The neighbour liked it so much, that they decided they would like the same door too!

The garage doors we installed are Hörmann, Elegance style doors in an anthracite grey finish. The doors are made of steel and come in their own steel frame. We clad the frames of these doors in white uPVC trims, which we scribed around the block stonework opening, this gives a nice contrast and also blends in with the white windows and doors.

All the old timber frames were removed, so there is no need for any more painting, a wipe over the whole surface with mild soapy water will keep these garage doors looking like new.

Hörmann canopy (up and over) doors are a great addition to your home. They are very secure, effortless to use and built with quality in mind.

Hormann sectional, Hadfield, Glossop

March 17, 2018 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hormann sectional door. Hadfield, Glossop.

This classic looking garage door was fitted recently for a customer in Hadfield, Glossop. The door is an automatic sectional door, made by Hormann. It was chosen in anthracite grey with a sandgrain finish, which has a very slight, fine texture to it.

The old door was a simple, manual up-and-over door, so this new remote control door means no more struggling with the door in bad weather etc. More importantly, the door is well insulated, which will keep the rooms above the garage warmer in the winter. Hormann sectional doors are also very secure for your peace of mind.

The door was fitted to use the Hormann "promatic" automation system, which is used to power smaller sized garage doors. It features clever safety systems such as "auto reverse" should the door comes into contact with an obstacle.

Another good feature of this type of door is that due to opening vertically, there is no kick out, meaning you can park a vehicle close to the door. We think this door looks great in the stonework opening alongside the front door.

For a closer look at the full range of styles and additional options available for sectional doors, please browse the brochure, or contact us to arrange a free survey.
