Hörmann sectional door, Diggle, Oldham

Hörmann sectional door, Diggle, Oldham

A recent installation by our team of a Hörmann sectional, automatic garage door for a customer in Diggle, Oldham. The door was chosen in white silk grain finish, with a black frame to compliment the front door colours. We had some nice weather and lovely views on this job too 🙂

We started by removing the old door which had an old garage door operator and was in need of replacing. Unlike the old door, this new Hörmann sectional door is fully insulated. It opens vertically which means a car can be parked close to the door due to it having no kick-out. The door has a heavy duty bottom rubber seal that provides a barrier to the floor to stop any weather and leaves gathering in the garage (a common problem with up and over doors).

After removing the old door and frame, we cleaned up the stonework opening and could then start to build up the framework and tracks of the new sectional door. Great care is taken so that the frame and tracks are all level, plumb and fixed securely. When the track system is fitted, we can then install the actual garage door panels and link them to the spring system and operating system.

A Hörman Supramatic automation system was used to power this door, they are highly reliable and very simple to use. All you have to do is push a button on your remote control fob. Other features of this door include a safety system that will stop and reverse if the door comes into contact with anything. This is to avoid any accidents with automated doors. As mentioned, they are insulated and this customer will notice that the room above the door will benefit from this too, for example.

We provide a service plan for any door we fit which will keep your new door and its safety featured maintained on an annual or bi-annual basis, including a full check of all door features, fixings, lubrication and door cleaning. All garage door require a certain amount of attention to keep them running smooth and avoiding stress on parts etc.

AlluGuard roller doors, Denshaw, Oldham

AlluGuard roller doors, Denshaw, Oldham

A recent project by the Pennine Garage Doors team, to install a pair of AlluGuard automatic roller doors on this property in the lovely scenic area of Denshaw, Oldham. The doors were chosen in a anthracite grey colour.

With nice views all around it and being a bit exposed to the elements, this garage will benefit from having these AlluGuard roller doors. Not only are they insulated, but they also seal to the floor unlike a normal up and over door, which requires a gap and can often let the weather and leaves into the garage in certain situations.

Our team started by removing the old doors and timber frames from the stone opening. We then cleaned up the stonework of any old sealants and paint and prepared the doors for installation. The legs/tracks and framework is installed first, making sure that everything is level and plumb. Then the control box and curtain can be installed and any pvc trims on the outside that might be needed.

Due to this garage being exposed to the weather and the natural stone, instead of sealing the job up to the stone, it was decided to point it in with a solid mortar mix. This will set nice and strong and dry a close colour to the existing mortar.

AlluGuard automatic roller doors are a great choice for many reasons. They come with an internal control box featuring a light which stays on for a short time during and after the door is operated, the box also has an integral (LOUD) alarm that will only trigger if the door is tampered with. Two remote controls are provided as standard. The door features a safety system which will stop and auto reverse if the door comes into contact with anything during operation.

Hörmann Finesse garage door, Failsworth

Hörmann Finnesse door, Failsworth, Manchester

This Finesse style garage door was fitted for a customer in Failsworth after previously completing a job for their next door neighbor (to the left). The customer decided to have a new door and to have all new uPVC fascias and trims to run through with the neighbor.

The door was installed slightly off centre due to obstacles inside the garage that would effect the door opening, we see this with gas meters and various pipes etc. So the door was fitted slightly to one side. Doing the job this way also meant we could keep the door to a standard size, which also keeps the price of the job down. The infill on the right of the door consists of a sturdy timber studding and was then clad with matching uPVC.

We removed all of the old timber subframe and as usual, we take the old door etc off site to be recycled. The new Hörmann door is much easier to use and provides much better security that the old door and the "Finesse" style of the door looks nice and modern.

AlluGuard roller doors, Uppermill

AlluGuard roller doors in rosewood, Uppermill.

This was a recent installation for a customer in the lovely village of Uppermill, Oldham. The job was to replace a pair of manual garage doors that had become awkward to use, the new doors were to be automated to also help with easy access for a mobility scooter.

AlluGuard automatic roller doors were chosen in a rosewood finish to match other features on the house. Roller doors are great at saving space and don't require guide tracks that take up space in the ceiling space of the garage, the roll simply rolls up above the door. This video shows a demonstration of a roller door.

We started by removing the old blue doors, we then cleaned up and prepared the brickwork opening for the new doors. The framework is fixed in place first, we can then install the roller curtain and start wiring the door to the control box and start to finish the front off with matching uPVC around top (fascia) and sides.

Alluguard roller doors come with two remote controls as standard, plus you can operate the door from the internal control box. They feature a loud, integral alarm that will activate if anyone tampers with the door and conform to "Police Preferred Specification". They are also insulated, which is a good feature if your garage leads into your house, or if you have rooms above the garage. There is also a safety system that means the door with stop and reverse if the door comes into contact with anything during operation.

This customer can now access the garage entrance much safer and easier, plus it has given their home a nice new look. Automatic doors are a sound investment for people who require easy access to their garage. We are always glad to help and advise when deciding on a new garage door.

AlluGuard mahogany roller door, Oldham

June 30, 2017 by Pennine Garage Doors

AlluGuard roller door in mahogany.

Fitted for a customer in Oldham, Manchester, this roller door was chosen to match the window and door style of the house and to help improve insulation on the property.

The garage had been converted into a utility room, so a roller door was a very versatile solution. Instead of the old manual door, the customer can now simply press a button with one of the remotes supplied, or the internal control box.

The door is fully insulated too, which will surely be noticed in the winter time. If your garage has an entrance door that also leads into the house, an insulated door is worth considering.

As standard, AlluGuard roller doors feature a (loud) integral alarm system that doesn't require arming/unarming, but remains on to detect any forcing of the door. The door comes with two remote controls.

The job was finished off with matching mahogany upvc trims to surround the door with the brickwork neatly. All surfaces are easy to clean and maintain with a wipe over using warm soapy water.

AlluGuard roller doors also comply with Police Preffered Specification. Please contact us for more information or to arrange a free survey.
