Hörmann sectional doors, Glossop, Derbyshire

Recently installed by Pennine Garage Doors for a customer in one of our main areas, lovely Glossop in Derbyshire. Chosen in a gorgeous chartwell green colour, we think you’ll agree that these doors look fantastic.

Fully automatic and operated with just the press of a remote control, these doors are of very high quality and at the top end of garage door types. The old doors that were replaced were manual up and over doors. The customer will notice quite a difference with these new doors, Hörmann sectional doors are fully insulated and with the garage being part of the house, it will help with retaining heat and due to the doors having a sturdy rubber seal on the bottom, the doors seal to the floor nicely. There are no gaps around the doors, so no more leaves and weather blowing under them.

The old doors and materials removed are recycled and disposed of responsibly by us. As you can see by the pictures. Once we have an empty brickwork opening, we can then install the frame and track system to the door, taking care that everything is level and plumb etc. We have lots of experience fitting these doors and know how to set them up just right.

Finally the panels are inserted and motors fitted. We also use uPVC trims around the door to frame it neatly and seal the job in a suitable colour of sealant. Other feature of these doors include a safety system which will kick in as soon as the door touches an obstacle, the door will simply stop and reverse. There is a light in the operator which will light up while the door is in use and stay on for a couple of minutes to provide some light in the garage. Two remotes are supplied as standard.

We recommend a yearly service on most doors we install, this is more important on automatic doors. We offer an affordable service that includes fixings being checked and components cleaned and lubricated on the door, which all helps to keep spring balance and operators from coming under strain. We clean the door too and find it keeps doors just like new for years to come.

Hörmann sectional door, Stalybridge

August 10, 2023 by Pennine Garage Doors

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.

Hörmann Finesse style door, Glossop

November 13, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann Finesse style garage door, Glossop

Recently installed by our team for a customer in Glossop, Derbyshire. This Hörmann garage door has given the house a fresh modern look. The style of door is known as the “Finesse”, it is a manual canopy door chosen in white with matching uPVC fascia and trims.

As you can see from the “old door” photograph, the previous garage door was crooked in its frame and had become awkward to use. We started by removing the old door and then the timber frame and studding above the door. We are then left with a brickwork opening that we clean up of old sealants and paint, then we can lift the new door into place. We take the time to get the door nice and central and level and then we can fix it into place.

When the door is in it’s final position, we then made a sturdy timber studding to go above the door which the new fascia board covers. You can see how we take pride with our finishing trims and sealing the job neatly to the brickwork. New Hörmann doors come in their own steel frames, so they do not require a timber subframe. Which means no more rotting timbers or painting of wood. It is also good for security because there are no gaps around the door to tamper with.

Security is very good on these doors, the doors come as standard with two sturdy latch points, another two latches can be added as extra. The finish on the doors is very tough and UV stable, meaning it won’t fade in colour over the years. We offer a service plan for customers, which involves an annual service on the door and thorough clean. This helps to meet the manufacturer recommended maintenance and keeps your door working and looking like new.

Hörmann manual canopy doors come in a wide range of styles and colours to suit any home. If you would like to see more about this product, you can view the brochure here.

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Glossop, Derbyshire

October 30, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Glossop

Here is a recent installation by our team of a Hörmann Rollmatic T, fully automatic roller door for a customer in Glossop, Derbyshire. Chosen in black with a white frame to complement other features on the house.

The door we removed was an old up-and-over style manual door, so the customer was thrilled to not have to struggle opening and closing their garage door. Now they can just press a button on one of the remote controls that come with the door. Our customers who have made the choice of an automatic door over a manual one, often tell us that it is one of the best things they have bought.

We first removed the old door from it’s timber frame. The timber was still solid and structural. This allowed us to fit the door to this frame, which we then neatly clad in white uPVC to give it a nice clean look and also to protect the timber. We always take great care with our installations, from installing the door and making sure everything is level and central etc, to our finishing touches and always leaving our customers homes neat and tidy. We like you to see your new door and enjoy it without having to sweep up any mess etc. Nobody likes messy tradesmen.

Hörmann Rollmatic T doors are very secure and are well insulated, which makes a big difference if your garage leads into your house, or if you have rooms above. They come in a wide range of colours and the finish is very long lasting and UV stable. The door comes with two remotes as standard and features an internal control box with a light that will stay on for a few minutes after the door is used.

Hörmann is a world leader in garage doors and we install many of their products and have had a good relationship for many years.

Hörmann garage doors, Ashton under Lyne

August 22, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann garage doors, Rosewood, Ashton under Lyne

Here’s a nice transformation we recently completed for a customer in Ashton under Lyne, Tameside. The old doors had become very awkward and hard to operate. These new doors will open and close effortlessly and look stunning in the modern design chosen by the customer.

The two garage doors are both manual (canopy) garage doors, which we install and setup so that the door does most of the lifting for you. Chosen in the “elegance” design, which is a nice modern style by Hörmann. The rosewood colour matches the windows and doors on the house too.

We started the job by taking out the old door and carefully removing the timber frame. When we have an empty brickwork opening, we then clean up the bricks of any old sealants and paint. This is so that none of the old sealant shows on the new installation. We can then lift the door into place and start to get it central and level. Hörmann doors come in their own steel frame, which helps to add security to the door, as there are no gaps to tamper with and the locking system is integral to the door and frame.

When we are happy with the position of the door, we can fix it using the sturdy fixings provided. Whilst this is happening, we are then installing the matching rosewood uPVC around the frame on the front of the door. We take great care with our finishing touches, as shown in the close-up photo above.

Hörmann canopy doors are a very popular choice with our customers. They are sturdy, easy to operate and very secure, more locking points can also be ordered as a small extra. They are available in many styles and colours that will suit the features on your home.
