Garage refurbishment, Dukinfield

Hörmann door and garage refurb, Dukinfield

Our team recently made quite a transformation to this garage, with neat new cladding and finished off with a Hörmann vertical ribbed door, this customer in our local area of Dukinfield can now use their garage again with ease.

As this "before" picture shows, the old door had become unusable and as we often see with concrete panel garages, the timber above the door was rotting etc. So a refurbishment was decided on, which meant that we would replace the timber and use uPVC to neatly clad and finish off the job with. The uPVC we use is all good quality and will not fade or lose its colour over time. The new timber above the door has also helped to keep the roofline straight and we think you'll agree, this garage now looks rather smart.

The door that is fitted is a manually operated Hörmann garage door in a vertical rib design. Hörmann are a world leader in garage doors and their products can be trusted to stand the test of time. Any garage door we install will keep working nicely with a periodic service and clean etc. We can provide this service to our customers for a reasonable price too, depending on door type. We are always here for you after your door is installed. We believe in a good approach to "after sales".

As usual, the whole installation was finished off neatly to our usual high standards. Making this garage usable once more and another happy customer of Pennine Garage Doors. If you would like to see more of our glowing reviews from customers, you can view them on our review section of our website.

CarTeck side hinged doors, Haughton Green

CarTeck side hinged doors, Haughton Green

A recent installation of a pair of side hinged garage doors for a customer in Haughton Green, Denton. Made by CarTeck, Teckentrup, these doors are of a very high standard and very easy to use.

Unlike timber side hinged doors, these doors from CarTeck do not require a timber frame, the steel frame on these doors are part of the unit that is made to measure to the garage opening size. They don't require any gaps around the door either, they are fully insulated and come with an aluminium floor threshold that is bonded to the floor. This gives a perfectly level surface for the door, with no gabs underneath.

This door was chosen with an off-centre split but you can also have the door split in the middle (like this recent post shows). CarTeck side hinged doors can be ordered with or without windows and there are numerous window options to choose from to suit any features on your home.

The handle and locking system on these doors are also very good and the doors close with a reassuring click. The doors feature easy to use door-stays that release by simply pushing the door a little bit further open. The finish is very durable and unlike old timber doors, nothing needs painting. The door can be wiped down with soapy water and will stay looking like new.

Select side hinge doors, Withington

Select side hinge door, Withington, Manchester

*NOTE* The faint lines across a couple of pictures is rain and not scratches 🙂

Anyway... This recent project was to upgrade the look and security of a garage in the Withington area of Manchester, an area which has some lovely big old houses. The old doors and cladding were timber and this new classic black look was chosen, we think the choice turned out just nicely.

The Select side hinge door come in its own steel frame and the doors themselves are steel. These doors are very secure, when the handle is turns, two substantial steel rods act as drop bolts and lock into the floor and above the door too. We set the doors up so they are easy to use and they have door stays built in, to hold the door open when in use, to close the door is as simple as pulling the pull chord and closing the door manually.

On this installation we also installed an aluminium threshold to the floor. The door sits on top of the threshold and it is sloped on the front and back edge. This helps to take up any unlevel floor and helps as a barrier below the door. It also frames the job off neatly.

The apex of the garage and around the frame was clad in high quality black uPVC that will not fade with age, then the whole job was sealed up neatly. The look fits into the area nicely and the customer was most pleased with the new look garage and felt safer knowing it was much more secure.

Hörmann doors, Mottram Rise, Stalybridge

Hörmann elegance doors, Mottram Rise.

We recently installed this pair of classic looking garage doors for a customer on the Mottram Rise estate in Stalybridge, an area where we have many happy customers. The door style is known as the Elegance and the doors were chosen in a rosewood colour to match the house.

We started, as always, buy removing the old white doors and their timber frames. We could then clean up the brickwork openings of old sealants and mortar any gaps left by the old timber pads. The new Hörmann doors come in their own steel frames, the next step is to lift the door and frame and place it in the opening. The doors is wedged in place while we set the ideal position of it, making sure the unit is both level and plumb and also minimising the gap under the door if the floor is slightly out of level (doors need to be fitted level).

Once we are happy with the final position, we can start fixing the whole unite to the brickwork on the inside of the garage using fixings and brackets supplied with the doors. We can also start to clad the outside of the framework in matching uPVC. These doors had painted arches above that we also created uPVC arches for and everything was sealed in a rosewood sealant.

We think you'll agree, the doors look nice in place with the modern Elegance design keeping a subtle but classic look. The door handles on these Hörmann doors were also upgraded. Instead of the standard black handles you can order metal handles to suit the hardware on your front door. Such as lovely brushed steel etc.

Hörmann Elegance door, Dukinfield, Tameside

Hörmann Elegance style door, Dukinfield, Tameside.

A recently installation by the Pennine Garage Doors team of a Hörmann, manual canopy door in anthracite grey. The door was chosen to match the new anthracite windows and front door, as well as replacing the old door which had become awkward to use. The Elegance style with it's simple design is aptly named. As you can see, this is a neat modern design that looks well on most house styles and is available in a wide range of colours and finishes.

Our first task was to remove the old door and the timber frame it was in. This often leaves old paint and sealant on the bricks and a line where the brickwork has aged, which sometimes can be cleaned up, but if not, we use matching uPCV to neatly cover the old brickwork and it boxes in the door nicely (as shown in close up).

The new door comes in its own steel frame, which has many benefits including security (no gaps to tamper with) and the fact it will not require painting like woodwork does. We take care fitting the door so it is nice and level with minimum gap under the door, depending on the floor level (the door has to be level). We can also provide solutions for a rubber weatherstip threshold, which bonds to the floor and will stop drafts and debris from blowing under the door.

We also pay good attention to how the door is setup, such as the spring tension. This means the door is very balanced, easy to use and will not put a strain on any parts. We provide a "door servicing service" where we can take care of your door and its maintenance annually or bi-annually, this helps to maintain your warranty and also keeps your door running smooth and looking smart (we clean it too!)

Please feel free to contact us for any enquiries you have or to arrange a free survey and quote. You can find more information on this type of door in the Hörmann brochure.
