Teckentrup sectional door, Heswall, Wirral

Teckentrup sectional door, Heswall, Wirral.

A recent installation of a Teckentrup sectional garage door for a customer in Heswall, Wirral. Sectional garage doors are amongst the finest garage doors available. This garage door was chosen in a white silk grain finish, which will stay looking nice for many years.

Our first task was the removal of the old door and timber frame. We could then clean up the brickwork of old sealants and start to plan where exactly to fit the new door within the opening. We then fixed two sturdy timbers to the brickwork for the door to be installed to. These timbers were sat off the ground by about 30mm to avoid any damp being soaked up.

We could then start to install the main framework of the door and interior track and spring systems. The tracks are supported by a number of well placed sturdy fixing points into ceiling joists and the rear of the tracks are fixed to the walls. When everything is in place, the weight and load of the door is nicely spread evenly over these fixing points.

The automation system is installed, then the panels are carefully lifted into place and the rollers and hinges are all connected. The door can then be attached to the spring system and the motor, which goes through a sequence of balancing and weighing the door to provide optimum motor operation.

While this is being done, we are also finishing off the outside of the door. The door sits behind the timber frame, we clad this frame in white (uv stable) uPVC. This gives a nice feature to the installation and helps to avoid the whole thing looking too flat. The job is then sealed up in a suitable colour, on this brickwork, we chose a buff colour (see closeup pic). We know how much people love their homes and we take pride in our work.

This door will provide many benefits over the old door. Teckentrup sectional doors are of the highest standards in door technology. The panels are fully insulated and the door seals neatly to the floor with no gaps, unlike most up and over doors require. Customers who's garage lead into their house tell us that it makes a big difference after having an insulated garage door. The door is simple to use, with just the press of a button, the door will open/close and a temporary light on the operator with illuminate the area for a couple of minutes.

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.

Teckentrup sectional door, Padfield, Glossop

Teckentrup sectional garage door, Padfield

This elegant looking Teckentrup sectional door was recently fitted for a customer in the lovely area of Padfield, just near Glossop. It is a large, automatic double door in a rosewood finish.

The project was quite a transformation to the garage, which was previously a double garage with two separate doors and a stone pillar in the middle of the opening. Working alongside the builder we use, the brick pillar was taken down and relevant lintels installed so that the opening was suitable for one large automatic door.

We first had to remove all the shuttering that was boarding the opening up, after that we proceeded to install a sturdy timber frame, being careful to keep the legs off the ground, so it won't soak up water and rot at the bottom. This frame was eventually covered neatly in rosewood uPCV and sealed off from the weather.

The Teckentrup sectional door was chosen due to it being able to handle such large garage door opening. These garage doors are of the highest quality and have many handy features, such as being well insulated and closing to the floor, so there is no gap under the door like with an up and over door. They are highly secure and feature an internal light when in use and stays on for a couple of minutes. The system is built to last, and with some simple maintenance will last many years.

As you can see from the pictures, Teckentrup sectional door are usually divided into four panels which are hinged and open into a track system in the garage, the spring system is divided into a number of separate springs to avoid too much tension on them.

We find that customers love these doors once installed. They are a good choice for anyone wanting extra security or looking to keep the house warmer if the garage leads into it, or if there are rooms above. Feedback tells us that these doors do indeed make a difference.

Hörmann sectional doors. Strines, Marple.

Our team recently installed these classic looking Hörmann sectional doors for two neighbors in Strines, Marple. Both had decided to upgrade the original up and over doors that were on the houses. The doors were chosen as a matching pair in the colour of anthracite grey.

These top of the range doors have many benefits over the previous manual doors that they replaced. As well as being automatic, they are also much more secure and fully insulated. Due to the way sectional doors operate, there is no kick out of the door, so a car can be parked close up to the door. The doors also seal to the floor, there is no need for gaps like a manual door requires.

The doors were installed over two days to our usual high standards. All of the old doors and framework was removed from site (to be recycled). Each door was finished off on the outside with matching anthracite uPVC, which frames each door off nicely.

Hörmann sectional doors are a superb addition to any home. Easy to use and long lasting, we have installed many of these doors and customers are always happy with the finished result. Please take a look at our customer review section to read some of the many lovely comments we receive.
