AlluGuard roller door, Denton, Tameside

AlluGuard roller door. Denton, Tameside

A recent Pennine Garage Doors installation of an AlluGuard automatic roller door in anthracite grey (RAL 7016) with a white frame. Fitted for a customer in Denton, Tameside.

The old door had become awkward to use and a roller door was chosen to replace it. We find coloured doors suit white frames nicely, it gives a nice contrast. Roller doors have become a popular choice with our customers. They save space due to the way they are fitted, open vertically so there is no kick out and they are insulated, which is great if there are rooms above the garage for instance.

After removing the old one piece door and cleaning up brickwork etc, we could start to build up the new door in place. We are careful to use the most suitable and solid fixings for our doors. We also trimmed around the door neatly in white uPVC.

AlluGuard roller doors are very simple to use. They come with two remote controls as standard (more can be added), plus the system has an internal control box which you can also operate the door with (shown in photo). The box has a light that will stay on for a few minutes after the door is operated. The door also has an integral alarm that does not need setting, but will detect any forcing of the door, the alarm is reliable and will not be set off by wind etc.

SWS roller door, Romiley, Stockport

SWS roller door. Romiley, Stockport.

The team at Pennine Garage Doors installed this neat looking SWS automatic roller door on a lovely house in Romiley. The door size is quite large and the old door required replacing.

We were faced with another challenge that we see with garages on this installation. Which is the floor is sloping and is very out of level. With a roller door sealing to the floor, this can be an issue. Normally it isn't much of a problem, but here we had two options. Either have the floor levelled, which was unpractical due to the slope of the driveway, or we can order the roller door with a scribed in bottom lath.

You can see this on the photos too. With careful measuring, the door is made to a custom spec and allows it to seal nicely to the floor. The roofline above the garage is also sloping slightly and we installed a new fascia to go above the garage door, running level with the door.

This new SWS automatic door is very easy to use and comes with two remotes as standard. We can also install a push button inside your home if you require one. We find customers like this option with our roller doors. The door has safety features that won't allow the door to crush anything, it also has an integral alarm which never needs setting and will detect any forcing of the door.

Roller doors are becoming more popular with customers as a nice addition to a home. They are insulated and do not require gaps around the door like an up-and-over door does.

AlluGuard roller doors, Stalybridge

AlluGuard roller doors in golden oak. Stalybridge.

These AlluGuard automatic roller doors were recently installed by us for a customer in Stalybridge. They were to replace two old white manual doors that didn't match the new windows and doors on the property, that are a golden oak colour.

AlluGuard roller doors can be ordered in a range of colours including wood grain, to suit any home. The golden oak doors shown here for example are a match for the golden oak windows, doors and uPVC. We also used uPVC trims and fascias around these doors to frame them neatly.

There are many benefits to AlluGuard doors. As well as being automatic and easy to operate, they are insulated and provide a seal to the floor (if the floor is reasonably level), this is good if the doors lead into the house or if there is a room above the garage. The doors also feature a built in alarm as standard, which is very loud indeed and will only trigger if the door is tampered with, the alarm never needs setting, it just works as part of the Somfy automation system.

AlluGuard roller garage doors conform to Police Preferred Specification for your peace of mind. If you would like more information, please contact us for a free survey.

You can also take a look at the video below, which shows the product in more detail.

White AlluGuard roller door, Stalybridge

We do lots of work around our local area of Stalybridge, the Mottram Rise estate in particular. The houses often vary in character and we have fitted doors to match the needs and tastes of many happy customers in the area.

This project involved replacing an old roller door with a more modern and safer door. After removing the old door (which was removed off site too), we fitted a new AlluGuard roller door in white, to match other features on the house. The door is automated using the Somfy remote control system and we also wired in push button controls in the customers house.

The new door was fitted into the existing timber frame, this was an option due to that fact it had been taken care of and was still very sturdy. The PVC work around the door was also left in place to help save on cost, we just gave it all a good clean and finished the job off with some finishing trims of our own and sealed up in silicone as required.

As an available extra for AlluGuard roller doors, there is a back box that can be fitted on the interior to hide the curtain when it is rolled up and to keep it safe from scratches. This door was fitted as standard with no back box (as shown in the picture).

For your peace of mind, AlluGuard doors carry the Secured by Designed logo, showing it meets Police Preferred Specifications.
