Carteck sectional garage door, Wilmslow

Installed this week for a customer at this nice house in Wilmslow. Chosen in a anthracite grey colour with a satin finish, this fully automatic door is a great finishing touch to this home.

Sectional type garage doors are one of the highest standards of door we install for customers. They consist of four horizontal panels that open directly upwards and into the gararge. This means there is no kick out like many up and over types of door.

We install all of our doors with care and attention to detail, whatever type of door you have. All our finishing touches and framing with uPVC trims or flatboard etc are done neatly with no mess left afterwards. We are always tidy and remove all materials from site too, which we recycle where possible. This door was chosen in a nice anthracite grey to match the front door. We framed it in white to give a nice contrast and fresh look.

Other main benefits of sectional garage doors are their security systems, which are highly secure and also that they are fully insulated panels with no gaps around. This creates a grear barrier and will keep your home warmer if attached to the garage or has rooms above. The door is fully automoatic and can be operated simply by using one of the two remotes supplies. Extras are available as well as internal remote push buttons for inside the house, for example.

The operator control box in the garage also has controls for the door and a handy light that will stay on for a short while to illuminate the garage for you while the door has been used. The door also importantly has an integral safety system that will trigger if the door comes into contact with an obstacle. If this happens, the door will stop and reverse.

You can read more about this garage door system in the brochure here or check out this demo video that shows how it all works.

Hörmann sectional door, Ashton, Tameside

Here’s a closer look at a Hörmann sectional type garage door for a customer in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Tameside, chosen in a rosewood finish to match other features on the house.

Sectional garage doors are one of the most secure doors you can buy. These doors ooze quality and have many beneficial features. One of the main advantages is that this door is fully automated and can be operated by one of the two remotes provided. Extras such as internal wall buttons can also be used. Customers often tell us on return visits to service doors etc, that upgrading to an automatic door is one of the best changes to their home. We aren’t just saying this either, customers truly appreciate these fine doors. If you park your car in the garage, there is no need to get out in the rain, or risking leaving your engine running while you are not in the car.

The doors are also fully insulated (unlike inferior types of sectional doors) and don’t require gaps around the door, like many manual doors do. This is a great advantage for anyone whos garage leads into the house, or if there are rooms above the garage. You will feel a big difference in winter. Security is also a huge benefit with these doors. There is nothing to tamper with and we rate them as the most secure door we install.

The door itself consists of four, hinged panels that open up and into the garage on a track system. The operator is shown in a picture here. The Hörmann Promatic operator is used to lift single doors, the Supramatic can lift heavier double doors or single doors. The Supramatic latest version has the capability to operate the door from your phone too, or connected smart watch etc.

Sometimes after removing the old door and installation, we find brickwork might need covering up where the old frame was due to staining or a cavity etc. In these cases, we can neatly box the door in with matching uPVC which also gives the door a nice neat, framed look. As usual, all old materials are removed from site by us and your home left nice and tidy!

Any automatic door we install also feature safety systems. With a sectional door, if it comes into contact with an obstacle, the door will sense it and stop and reverse. A yearly service benefits these doors to stay looking and operating just like new.

If you’d like to see more on the Hörmann sectional door, you can view the brochure here. Available in a wide range of styles and colours to suit any home.

We recently installed this classic looking sectional type door in Dukinfield, Tameside. The door is in a rosewood finish and is fully automatic, insulated and looks stunning on the customers home.

Sectional garage doors are a popular type of door we fit and at the high end of the most secure types of garage door that you can add to your home. They are fully automatic and have many benefits. The door is made from steel and the panels are fully insulated with a high quality insulation foam, which helps to keep the warmth in your home if there are rooms adjoining or above the garage. There is a rubber seal on the bottom of the door that seals nicely to the floor. The security on Hörmann sectional doors is also very solid, giving you peace of mind.

The door is made up of four panels that are hinged, it has no kick-out, meaning you can park vehicles close to them. You can see in the brochure here how the door and track systems work. We use the Hörmann Promatic or Supramatic operating system depending on the size of door. These operators are built to last and with periodic maintenance, they will continue to operate your door for many years with no problem.

The old door it replaced was a manual up and over door. With this new automatic door, the customer no longer has to get out of a car to open the door, which is safer and dryer in wet weather. When we go back to service doors, we often get told how an automatic door has been one of the best additions to their house.

We always finish the installation with care and attention to detail. This door was finished off in uPVC trims and sealed in a suitable matching colour. We always leave your home very tidy too!

Carteck sectional doors, Preston

September 18, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

Carteck sectional automatic doors, Preston

We recently installed these two Carteck sectional garage doors for a customer in Preston. They look stunning with the window option chosen and the customer was very happy with these gorgeous modern and fully automatic garage doors.

The old type of door shown in the picture is firstly dismantled and removed from the garages. Everything we remove is disposed of responsibly and steel etc mostly gets recycled. We can then go about preparing the brickwork openings, removing any old sealants and paint.

The new doors can then start to be installed. We start with the framework of the new Carteck doors and then the track system. The panels are the last item we install and we are always careful to set our doors up correctly so that everything runs smoothly. We also take great care with our pcv work on the front of the garages too and we take pride in our finishing touches.

Carteck sectional garage doors are very simple to use. Each door comes with two remote controls as standard and the doors will open at the press of a button. Each remote also has multiple buttons, meaning that we can code both doors into each remote, so the customer can open any of the doors with any remote control. Extra remotes or internal push buttons are available should you need more. The doors also feature safety systems that won’t allow the door to crush anything. If the door touches an obstacle while closing, it will simply stop and reverse.

These doors are about as good as it gets in terms of quality and security. We have installed many Carteck doors over the years and our customers tell us they love them. Fully insulated and simple to use, they will keep lasting and looking great for many years.

Most types of garage doors are recommended to have a regular service to keep them working smoothly and to avoid stress on parts. We offer to service our doors annually at very reasonable prices where we spend a good bit of time cleaning and lubricating relevant parts, inspecting all fixings, checking safety system and adjusting spring tension as this can change over time. The doors also get a thorough clean. This helps to avoid strain on parts, like the motor and will keep your garage doors working and looking just like new.

Available is many styles and colours to suit any home, for a closer look at the product and options available, you can view the brochure here.

A recent installation by our team for a customer in our local area of Mossley in Tameside. The door was chosen is a classic heritage green colour to match the front door and framed in white. This colour is quite popular and has given this house a fresh, classic look.

Sectional garage doors are one of the most secure types of garage door that you can choose to add to your home. They are fully automatic and have many benefits to them. The door is made from steel and the panels are fully insulated with a high quality insulation foam, which helps to keep the warmth in your home if there are rooms adjoining or above the garage.

Manufacturers and ourselves advise an annual service on most garage door types, which we can provide at a reasonable price. This helps to keep your door looking and working just like new and helps to protect your warranty. The finish and colour of these doors are UV stable and will not fade over time. Most customers order these doors in a gorgeous silkgrain finish, which is very smooth and not glossy.

Other features of the Hörmann sectional include an in-built safety system that will not allow the door to crush anything during its travel. If the door meets an obstacle, it will stop and reverse without much pressure being placed on the obstacle. The door comes with two remote controls as standard and Hörmann do a range of extras such as wireless push buttons (for mounting on a wall anywhere in your home or garage), as well as external keypads that you can simply enter a code to open and close the door.

There is also a light on the operator inside the garage that will illuminate while the door is in use and stays on for a few minutes, which saves having to switch a light on in the garage. There are no gaps around the door to tamper with. The door has rubber seals around it and a sturdy rubber seal at the bottom of the door that seals to the floor. We can provide you with solutions if your floor is a bit uneven too.
