Hormann sectional door, Millbrook, Stalybridge

March 30, 2018 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hormann manual sectional door, Millbrook

A recently installed Hormann, manually operated sectional door for a nice customer in Millbrook, Stalybridge. Ordered in a white, silk-grain finish, which as you can see from the close-up images, has a very smooth contemporary look to it.

A sectional door was chosen to help with issues such as insulation, due to the garage leading to the house. Unlike the old up-and-over door that we replaced, this new Hormann sectional door is well insulated and due to opening vertically, it has a rubber seal on the bottom of the door that contacts with the floor and creates a barrier there. Sectional doors do not require the tolerance gaps that a classic up-and-over does and this is ideal if you don't want any gaps in your garage opening.

Although the door was fitted to be operated manually, the customer has the option to add a automation system to the door in the future if required. The manual locking system is secure and easy to operate. As always, we remind customers that to keep these doors in good working order, to keep up with regular simple lubrication maintenance. We can also offer a service plan if you would like us to maintain your door on an annual basis.

Hormann rosewood doors, Mottram

Hormann vertical style doors in rosewood, Mottram

This pair of Hormann canopy doors were fitted for a customer in Mottram in Longdendale, just near Glossop. They are both manual doors and were chosen in a modern vertical panel design in a rosewood finish, to match other features on the house.

As usual, we removed the old garage doors and frames first, which we will always remove off site. We like to leave you with a neat job and no mess lying around. After cleaning up the brickwork opening of old sealants and paint, we could then start fitting the new doors.

The new Hormann doors come in their own steel frames, which is good for security, as there are no gaps that can be tampered with, which is something that can be an issue with old doors in wooden frames. The locking on Hormann canopy doors is strong and can also be upgraded to a 4-point locking system for a small cost. Other upgrades are available too such as insulation packs that fit on the back of the door and will help to keep your home warm if the garage leads into the house.

We finished these doors off with matching uPVC trims and sealed up in a rosewood sealant to match. We set the spring tension on both doors so that they operated with ease. As you can see from any of our pictures, the job was left nice and tidy. Other than your nice new doors, you wouldn't know we've been! 🙂

Hormann horizontal rib door, Frodsham

Hormann horizontal style door, Frodsham

We recently installed this black Hormann horizontal rib door in Frodsham. The old door had become very awkward to use due to a broken spring and needed replacing.

We started by safely removing the existing spring and then the old garage door. Garage door springs have a lot of tension loaded onto them, customers should always call a specialist to look at these issues and should never attempt to repair or tamper with garage door springs themselves, as they could cause injury.

The new Hormann door comes in its own steel frame, all fully finished in a durable powder coated paint. After installing the door, we adjust spring tension so that the door is easy to operate. The door will not need painting, just a quick wipe over with soapy water now and then will keep it looking as good as new.

Horman vertical door, Stalybridge, Tameside

Hormann vertical rib door. Stalybridge, Tameside.

This door was recently fitted for a customer in Stalybridge, Tameside. A Hormann vertical style garage door was chosen to replace an old door that had become very hard to operate.

Due to the opening of the garage being so tall, we also clad above the door in uPVC. We first removed the old door plus all of the timber frame and studding above the door to leave a brickwork opening (shown in picture).

We then installed the new Hormann garage door and made a timber studding to go above the door, to serve as a sturdy surface to attach the uPVC cladding to. The studding was fixed securely in place and then the cladding and finishing trims were installed and the whole job sealed up neatly.

This garage door will now be much easier for the customer to use and also provide a much better level of security. Maintenance is also simple, due to having no more timber to paint. All surfaces can be simply wiped over with warm, soapy water.

Hormann Georgian. Stalybridge, Tameside

November 2, 2017 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hormann Georgian garage door, Stalybridge, Tameside.

This recent installation was for a customer in Stalybridge, Tameside, on the Mottram Rise estate, where we have fitted many garage doors, from single canopy doors like this, to large double automatic doors.

The job was to replace the old garage door with something more modern and easy to use but also to replace old timber frames that had started to rot with weather exposure. So the first stage was to remove the old door and timber frame, which we dispose of and recycle as appropriate.

The new Hormann canopy door was then fitted and adjustments made to maximise the efficiency when using the door. We also clad around the door in white uPVC, and made a new "Spanish Arch" out of uPVC to go above the door. The whole job was then sealed up using high quality silicone and everything left tidy.

Hormann up-and-over (canopy) doors come in a wide range of styles and colours. Please view the brochure for a closer look, or contact us to arrange a free survey.
