Hörmann Rollmatic T, Stalybridge

Hörmann Rollmatic T in red, Stalybridge

A recently installed automatic roller door for a customer in our local area of Stalybridge, Tameside. Made by Hörmann and chosen in a nice warm red to compliment the front door, they add a nice splash of colour to the house.

As usual, our first task is to safely remove the old door and any timber framework, the Hörmann Rollmatic T comes in its own aluminium frame which is a very sturdy design. The frame is also where the tracks are for the door to run up and down. Our customers are loving the ease of use of these doors and their many quality features.

Unlike an old manual door, an automatic roller door requires no gaps around it on underneath. They have a rubber seal on the bottom of the door that seals nicely to the floor. As well as being insulated, they also feature a safety system that will not let the door crush anything during its operation. If the door touches an obstacle, it will stop and reverse.

There is no kick-out to roller doors either, unlike an up-and-over door, which means you can park a vehicle close to it. Or if you park your car in your garage, you no longer have to get out of the car to open the door, you can simply use one of the two remote controls to operate the door and drive straight in. There is a light on the internal control panel that will also light up when the door is in use and it stays lit for a couple of minutes too.

The Hörmann Rollmatic T also saves space in your garage by not having internal track systems etc. The curtain neatly rolls up above the door. They are a good solution to awkward sizes of openings too. Most doors and openings are standard sizes, meaning you would need to order a custom size of door. With roller doors, they are all supplied to the exact size requirments as standard. We finished the installation off with our usual care and attention, by framing it in matching uPVC and then neatly sealing up the job to the brickwork.

The Hörmann Rollmatic T is available in a wide range of colours and woodgrain finishes. For a closer look at this product, you can view the brochure here.

Hörmann vertical style doors, Dukinfield

Hörmann vertical rib doors, Dukinfield, Tameside

A recent project by the Pennine Garage Doors team to renovate a pair of garages in our local area of Dukinfield, Tameside. The doors are made by Hörmann and were ordered in a vertical rib style, which is in our entry range of prices. Both doors are manually operated, although this type of door can be automated too.

The customer decided to have the face of the apex clad in matching white uPVC too, which was finished with edging trims and sealed up neatly. We have done many renovations on garages over the years and we are always happy to help with giving customers options in what we can do to help maintain the look and function of your garage. Often the old garage doors have become hard to use and can look a bit tired too. These garages have been given a nice facelift in terms of appearance and also in function.

Our manual (canopy) garage doors are always installed with care and attention, so that the spring system is nicely balanced etc. This means the door can open effortlessly and will do most of the lifting itself, unlike springs on old doors that become stretched and a strain to operate them. Hörmann canopy doors are also very secure and feature more locking points that most older doors. They are made from steel and come in many gorgeous styles and colours to suit any home. Below is a series of photos that show the progress of the job.

All of the materials that were removed from the old installation, such as the old doors and any timber etc are all removed from site and the whole job is always left nice and tidy for all of our customers.

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Audenshaw

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Audenshaw, Tameside.

A recent installation for a customer in our local area of Audenshaw in Tameside. The door is fully automated and was chosen in a rosewood wood grain finish to compliment the windows and doors on the house, which are also rosewood.

Automatic roller doors are a popular choice with our customers. They are available in sizes to suit any garage opening and are available in a wide range of colours and wood grain finishes such as the door shown here. We always remove old materials from the previous installation and recycle where we can. Our first task when installing a door is to start with a nice clean opening. Any old sealants are cleaned off the brickwork for example, then we can start installing the new door.

After this door was installed, we also framed it neatly with matching rosewood uPVC. The materials and doors we use are UV stable and wont fade easily with age and weather. We also offer a "Garage Door Service" to help you look after your door and keep it working smoothly. Most customers have a service once a year, which involves a thorough clean too.

Having a fully automated door has many benefits. As well as being secure, these roller doors are insulated too, which will help to keep your home warm if the garage adjoins the house, or if there are rooms above. It also means that you don't have to get out of a vehicle to open the garage door (if you park a car in the garage), you can just simply press a button on one of the two remotes that come with the door.

The customer has downlights above the garage door and this makes the whole installation look lovely in the evening too. We think you'll agree that this is another nice job by the Pennine Garage Doors team.

Hörmann garage door, Hyde

February 26, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann canopy door, Hyde, Tameside

Here is a nice new Hörmann garage door installed for a customer in Hyde, Tameside. The vertical rib style of door is one of our entry level doors but provide the same quality that you would expect from your new garage door installation.

As you can see from the "before" picture, the old side hinge doors were a little bit old and the security of the garage was compromised. All new Hörmann canopy (manual) doors have good security features, unlike many older style doors. The lock is sturdy and there are no gaps around the door to tamper with. The locking bars also engage in multiple places instead of just one latch for instance with older doors. Additional locking bars can be added as optional too, for further peace of mind. Meaning that the door will lock in all four corners.

As per usual, we remove all the old timber from a garage opening, including the door and frame. We would never secure a door to rotting timber and any timber we replace is carefully fixed leaving a small gap with the floor. This means the timber will not soak up water and gradually rot from the bottom (something we see a lot).

Hörmann canopy doors come in their own steel frame, which on this installation we also clad around the door in white uPVC to give the job a nice framed look and to also keep the door size to a standard size. The whole job was sealed up neatly too. The door opens much easier than the old one did. Hörmann manual doors pretty much open most of the way by themselves, there is very little effort required. When the door is pushed into a fully open position, there are also spring loaded clips that will help the door to stay open and not drop down if it is windy for instance.

Hörmann canopy doors come in a wide range of colours and gorgeous finishes to suit any home. For a closer look at this product, you can view the brochure here.

Please feel free to contact us for any inquiries or help you may need in choosing the right door for your home. We are always happy to help and provide you with a free quote and survey.

Hörmann canopy door, Dukinfield

Hörmann manual canopy door, Dukinfield

What a lovely transformation this installation by our team made to this customers home. A manually operated Hörmann vertical ribbed garage door was chosen to replace the old door, which had become awkward to use or repair. This new door looks stunning with its surrounding white uPVC and spotlights above (click on pics to enlarge).

Our first task on a job like this is to remove the old door and any timber frame etc. Hörmann canopy doors come in their own steel frame, which means there are no big gaps like you can get with some older doors. The whole door and frame is one unit, which also adds a lot of security to these doors too. The brickwork is cleaned up of any old sealants and paint, then the new door can be fitted.

We fit all our doors with the same care and attention to detail. Garage doors need setting up so that they are nicely balanced, so that no parts are under strain. A periodic service (which we can provide) helps to keep the door finely tuned, lubricated and clean too.

As you can see on the finished photograph. We lined the returning brickwork with white uPVC boards. This helps to frame the door off in its surrounding and cover up any old damaged brickwork where the old door was fitted. The spotlights really add a nice touch to this job too and another customer of ours is very happy indeed.

Hörmann canopy/manual doors are available in a wide range of styles and colours. If you would like to see more about the product, you can view the brochure here.
