Hörmann automatic sectional door, Dukinfield

Recently installed for a customer in Dukinfield, a top of the range, fully automatic sectional door, chosen in a cream colour to contrast the rosewood uPVC on the house.

Sectional doors comprise of four horizontal panels that are hinged and go up and back into the garage on a track system. They are one of the best garage doors on the market due to their robust security and other features such as being insulated and fully automatic. This door replaced an old manual door and the customer can now enjoy not having to struggle manually opening the old door or fiddling with locks in the rain etc.

If you park your car in your garage, it is also a good security measure, as you do not need to get out of your car to open your door, it is so much safer and easier just pressing a button on one of the fobs provided and driving straight in. The door has many other neat features such as a safety system that will not allow the door to crush anything. If the door comes into contact with an obstacle, it will stop and reverse. The operator also has a handy internal light that will come on when the door is operated and stay on for a few minutes to give some light.

With the door operation going straight up and into the garage, this means there is no kick-out of the door. Meaning a vehicle can be parked close to it if needed. This installation was finished off with our usual care and attention to detail. Finished off neatly in matching uPVC that finishes the job off nicely. All old materials are removed from site and we take pride in leaving your home nice and tidy.

Hörmann sectional door, Stalybridge

We recently installed this gorgeous Hörmann sectional, automatic garage door for a customer in our local area of Stalybridge. The door was chosen in a golden oak colour with a woodgrain pattern to match the doors and windows on the house.

The previous garage door that we removed was a traditional pair of side hinged doors. This new top-of-the-range door is fully automatic and is much easier to operate, at just the touch of a button and has many benefits. The door is fully insulated, meaning the house will stay warmer due to the garage having rooms adjoining it. We hear good feedback from customers when we return to service their doors that this is indeed the case regarding insulation.

The door has seals all around and comes in its own framework. The bottom of the door has a sturdy rubber seal that seals nicely to the floor. Good quality security is another feature that the Hörmann sectional has. There are no gaps to tamper with the door and they cannot be forced open. The door comes with two remote controls as standard, but extra remotes or internal push buttons are available. The operator also features an integral light which will stay on for a couple of minutes when the door is in use, to help illuminate your garage. There is an in built safety system that will stop and reverse should the door come into contact an obstacle.

As you can see from the pictures. After we removed the old door we could start to clean up the brickwork of old sealants and paint. Then we start building up the framework. You can view a demo of how sectional doors work in our virtual showroom. The panels are added last and the front is finished off with matching uPVC trims to make the nice archway above the door and around it, then the job is neatly sealed up.
