Hörmann vertical rib door, Denton, Tameside

November 23, 2019 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann vertical rib door, Denton, Tameside.

A recently installed up-and-over (canopy) garage door for a customer in our local Denton area. Chosen in a vertical rib style, in white, this type of door is often our entry level in terms of price. These doors do not compromise on quality though. Hörmann are one of the leaders in garage door technology, these German made doors and built to last and installed by our team with care to make it a great addition to your home.

The old door and timber frame were removed first on this job, so we are left with a brickwork opening, which is cleaned up and then the new door lifted into place. The steel door and frame are integral, which not only eliminated the need of a timber frame, but is also a big security improvement on old door types. Before we could fit the door on this job however, we needed some attention to the floor level.

As you might notice from the pictures. The floor is quite a lot out of level and the door has to be fitted "level". Normally if the floor is just a little out of level (most are) that is acceptable and it just means a varying gap under the door, we can also fit a rubber weatherstrip for the door to close against to take up these small amounts of gaps. This floor needed something a bit different though and we installed an aluminium floor threshold, which the door sits on top of and then the underneath gets filled in with a very stiff mix of mortar to take up the difference in floor level. Without digging lots of the floor and drive up and turning the whole thing into a huge job, this is an option we have for our customers.

Once the door was in place, level and plumb, we could then fix it into place and finish the outside off in white uPVC. A new steel lintel had to be also put in place before the job could be done, so we neatly covered that with a soffit and fascia board and also lined the internal walls to cover up the old stained brickwork where the previous frame was. This creates a nice boxed in look to the door and is very simple to clean with just warm, soapy water. No more painting required!

Hörmann Finesse door, Hadfield, Glossop

October 25, 2019 by Pennine Garage Doors

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 Georgian garage door, Marple

March 15, 2019 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hormann Georgian, Marple 2Hörmann Georgian door. Marple, Stockport.

Installation of a Hörmann Georgian style garage door for a customer in Marple, Stockport. Chosen in white, this is a manual up-and-over door that is a popular choice with our customers.

Hormann Georgian, Marple

The old doors we removed were a pair of wooden side hinged doors that had become worn and awkward to use. The customer had just moved into the house and this door is a great addition to their new home. We were even complimented by neighbors after fitting the door. We take pride in our work and it's nice when people notice.

Hömann canopy doors are very solid steel doors that operate manually with ease. They are also available as automated doors if there is room inside the garage for the operator etc. Extra locking points can be added to the door at a small cost, but even with standard locking points, these doors are very secure.

Hormann Georgian, Marple 4

The powder coated paint finish on this white door is durable and UV stable, so it won't fade or go yellow over time, like some of the cheaper doors out there. We will not sell or install any products that don't meet a certain standard we expect.

The "work in progress" photo shows the door wedged into place after being set out nice and level and central in the opening of where we needed to fit it. The door is then fixed on the inside to the brickwork using solid brackets and fixing that are supplied with the door.

The outside can then be trimmed around the frame with matching uPVC trims and fascia board. The whole job is then neatly sealed up, which we always do using masking tape to leave a nice tidy line. This job was sealed in a rosewood colour which won't look dirty over time like white sealant can.

Hörmann Finesse, Hollingworth, Tameside

March 2, 2019 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hollingworth doorHörmann Finesse door. Hollingworth, Tameside

A recently installed Hörmann Finesse style garage door, fitted for a customer in Hollingworth, near Glossop. Chosen in white with matching white frame.

Hollingworth open

The "finesse" style garage door is one of Hörmann's more recent door designs. It is a very modern looking door with a simple elegant look. It is a steel door and comes in its own steel frame. It features a highly secure lock system which can be upgraded at a small cost to feature more locking points.

These doors are easy to operate, secure and have a long lasting powder coated paint finish that will not fade or change colour over the years, as some cheaper garage doors tend to do.

This door is manually operated, but these same doors can be installed as remote control doors if there is space in the garage for that type of system. We are always happy to advise customers on suitable products for your garages. Garages are often standard sizes, but where there may be issues with space, we can usually help you with a solution.

This garage door was finished off neatly with white uPVC trims around the frame, we then sealed the job with our usual method of masking off the frame near the brickwork to get a nice neat line of sealant (shown in close-up picture).

Hörmann vertical garage door, Tintwistle

December 13, 2018 by Pennine Garage Doors

Tintwistle Hormann vertical 2Hörmann vertical ribbed door, Tintwistle, Derbyshire.

We installed this Hörmann garage door in the lovely scenic area of Tintwistle near Glossop. The customer wanted the door to match a specific colour that had been used on their home.

Due to the nature of the colour, we had a standard white door sprayed by a specialist to match the exact shade of green. It's a colour similar to "heritage green" and as you can tell, the paint job is superb. It is not very often we have to get a door sprayed ourselves, but we trust the company we use to do a really nice job.

We had the uPVC trims sprayed to match the door too. Due to the difference in materials of the door and trims, paint was mixed match both perfectly. The customer was left with spare trims, should they need to be ever replaced due to damage, and also spare touch-up paint.

Tintwistle Hormann vertical openThe door is a manual up-and-over garage door, which we setup to operate with ease. These Hörmann doors are secure and built to last. We also offer a service plan to help maintain any of the doors we install.
