Hörmann Rollmatic T doors, Chadderton

Hörmann Rollmatic T roller door, Chadderton

This job for a customer in Chadderton, Oldham was to replace two old automatic doors with a more modern system of automatic roller doors by Hörmann, who are a leading manufacturer of garage doors. The type of doors are known as the Hörmann Rollmatic T.

As you can see from the photographs, the old garage door operator systems took up quite a bit of room inside the garage. The new roller doors benefit from not having tracks or rails that come back into the garage, meaning they save lots of room. Roller doors also open vertically, so there is no problem parking close to them for instance.

Other benefits of roller doors is that they are fully insulated and require no gaps around them, unlike the previous doors. If your garage leads into your house or if you have rooms above the garage, you will certainly notice the difference in the winter. The doors have a sturdy rubber seal on the bottom of the curtain which seals to the floor and will not let weather or debris enter the garage. They are also very secure.

The customer was very happy that the installation have given the garage a nice new modern look, as well as being space saving and easy to operate. We finished both doors off by neatly boxing them in with matching uPVC to help create a nice framed look to the garages. All the materials we use are of a good standard and are UV stable etc. With some simple cleaning and periodic maintenance, these doors are capable of keeping their nice white appearance, without ageing much. We can supply an affordable annual service to our customers to help keep them looking and working nicely too.

As you can see from the "interior" photo above. Any electrical cables are installed neatly too, using trunking to keep and cables tidy and out of sight. Our trusted electrician that we use can always add plug sockets close to the garage door in advance of our installation of the doors if needed. Each door comes with two remote controls as standard and each has its own control box on the interior of the garage.

The Hörmann Rollmatic T range of doors are available in a wide range of colours and finishes to suit any home. If you would like to read more about this product, you can view the brochure here.

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.

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Stalybridge

Hörmann Rollmatic T in red, Stalybridge

A recently installed automatic roller door for a customer in our local area of Stalybridge, Tameside. Made by Hörmann and chosen in a nice warm red to compliment the front door, they add a nice splash of colour to the house.

As usual, our first task is to safely remove the old door and any timber framework, the Hörmann Rollmatic T comes in its own aluminium frame which is a very sturdy design. The frame is also where the tracks are for the door to run up and down. Our customers are loving the ease of use of these doors and their many quality features.

Unlike an old manual door, an automatic roller door requires no gaps around it on underneath. They have a rubber seal on the bottom of the door that seals nicely to the floor. As well as being insulated, they also feature a safety system that will not let the door crush anything during its operation. If the door touches an obstacle, it will stop and reverse.

There is no kick-out to roller doors either, unlike an up-and-over door, which means you can park a vehicle close to it. Or if you park your car in your garage, you no longer have to get out of the car to open the door, you can simply use one of the two remote controls to operate the door and drive straight in. There is a light on the internal control panel that will also light up when the door is in use and it stays lit for a couple of minutes too.

The Hörmann Rollmatic T also saves space in your garage by not having internal track systems etc. The curtain neatly rolls up above the door. They are a good solution to awkward sizes of openings too. Most doors and openings are standard sizes, meaning you would need to order a custom size of door. With roller doors, they are all supplied to the exact size requirments as standard. We finished the installation off with our usual care and attention, by framing it in matching uPVC and then neatly sealing up the job to the brickwork.

The Hörmann Rollmatic T is available in a wide range of colours and woodgrain finishes. For a closer look at this product, you can view the brochure here.

Hörmann sectional garage door, Runcorn

This is a door we installed for a customer in Runcorn, Cheshire. A Hörmann sectional garage door was chosen in white, which is a very sleek looking door and looks lovely in this brick opening.

A sectional door is one of the highest quality doors we install for customers. They consist of four panels that are hinged, the door opens straight up and requires no kick-out, meaning a vehicle can be parked close to the door. Hörmann sectional doors are very secure and are also fully insulated, which helps to keep the house warm if the garage leads into the house.

The door is fully automated and can be operated by simply pressing a button on one of the two remote controls that are supplied with the door, you can also use the control panel on the garage door operating system too. The operator features a light, that will come on when the door is operated and stays on for a short time to help illuminate the garage.

All automated doors we install all feature safety systems that are built in to prevent the door damaging anything whilst in operation. If the door meets any obstacles, it will stop and reverse. We offer a very affordable service plan to help look after your door too. We check the whole installation and fixings, safety systems, replacing any batteries in remotes and lubricating and cleaning the door, which helps to keep the door looking and working like new.

With this installation, all of the old materials and previous door were removed from site and everything left tidy as always. We also clad around the door with matching uPVC trims and fascia to bring the whole job together.

Hörmann vertical style doors, Dukinfield

Hörmann vertical rib doors, Dukinfield, Tameside

A recent project by the Pennine Garage Doors team to renovate a pair of garages in our local area of Dukinfield, Tameside. The doors are made by Hörmann and were ordered in a vertical rib style, which is in our entry range of prices. Both doors are manually operated, although this type of door can be automated too.

The customer decided to have the face of the apex clad in matching white uPVC too, which was finished with edging trims and sealed up neatly. We have done many renovations on garages over the years and we are always happy to help with giving customers options in what we can do to help maintain the look and function of your garage. Often the old garage doors have become hard to use and can look a bit tired too. These garages have been given a nice facelift in terms of appearance and also in function.

Our manual (canopy) garage doors are always installed with care and attention, so that the spring system is nicely balanced etc. This means the door can open effortlessly and will do most of the lifting itself, unlike springs on old doors that become stretched and a strain to operate them. Hörmann canopy doors are also very secure and feature more locking points that most older doors. They are made from steel and come in many gorgeous styles and colours to suit any home. Below is a series of photos that show the progress of the job.

All of the materials that were removed from the old installation, such as the old doors and any timber etc are all removed from site and the whole job is always left nice and tidy for all of our customers.
