Hörmann RollMatic T, Dukinfield

December 5, 2020 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann RollMatic T roller door, Dukinfield

We recently installed this Hörmann RollMatic T automatic roller door for a customer in Dukinfield. Chosen in a brown colour to match the features of the house. The RollMatic range of doors is also available in a wide range of colours, as well as wood grain finishes that will suit any home.

Each of this type of garage door is made to measure. This means we can install the door with as much width and height as required by the customer. We tend to find that width is sometimes an issue when fitting certain vehicles in a garage. Old door often have mechanisms that take up valuable width space. So the RollMatic T is great at giving you the side room you need due to the neat framing system. Opening vertically with no kick-out also means you can park a vehicle close to the door on the outside of the garage too.

As with every garage door we fit, the old garage door and any timber frames are removed from site and disposed of responsibly by ourselves. All of our automatic doors feature safety systems that do not allow the door to crush anything. They will simply stall and reverse if coming into contact with an object. We also provide periodic garage door service calls to maintain and test the door and safety systems etc.

This installation required an emergency release mechanism fitted. This is when there is no other access to the garage other than the garage door. Should a power failure occur, the customer can simply use a lock on the front of door to release a lock-barrel and gain access to a manual crank system that can be used to open and close the door manually. Once the power is back on, the door will continue to work as it did before.

If you would like more information on Hörmann RollMatic T doors, you can view the brochure here. Please feel free to contact us to arrange a free survey or for any advice. Why not also have a look at what our customers are saying in our review section too.

Hörmann doors, Mottram Rise, Stalybridge

January 27, 2020 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann elegance doors, Mottram Rise.

We recently installed this pair of classic looking garage doors for a customer on the Mottram Rise estate in Stalybridge, an area where we have many happy customers. The door style is known as the Elegance and the doors were chosen in a rosewood colour to match the house.

We started, as always, buy removing the old white doors and their timber frames. We could then clean up the brickwork openings of old sealants and mortar any gaps left by the old timber pads. The new Hörmann doors come in their own steel frames, the next step is to lift the door and frame and place it in the opening. The doors is wedged in place while we set the ideal position of it, making sure the unit is both level and plumb and also minimising the gap under the door if the floor is slightly out of level (doors need to be fitted level).

Once we are happy with the final position, we can start fixing the whole unite to the brickwork on the inside of the garage using fixings and brackets supplied with the doors. We can also start to clad the outside of the framework in matching uPVC. These doors had painted arches above that we also created uPVC arches for and everything was sealed in a rosewood sealant.

We think you'll agree, the doors look nice in place with the modern Elegance design keeping a subtle but classic look. The door handles on these Hörmann doors were also upgraded. Instead of the standard black handles you can order metal handles to suit the hardware on your front door. Such as lovely brushed steel etc.

If you would like to know more about Hörmann canopy doors and would like to see the full range of styles, colours and options, please feel free to browse the brochure. You can contact us for any advice and to arrange a free survey, we are always happy to help.

You can read reviews of many of our customers on our review section.

Hörmann Elegance door, Dukinfield, Tameside

January 16, 2020 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann Elegance style door, Dukinfield, Tameside.

A recently installation by the Pennine Garage Doors team of a Hörmann, manual canopy door in anthracite grey. The door was chosen to match the new anthracite windows and front door, as well as replacing the old door which had become awkward to use. The Elegance style with it's simple design is aptly named. As you can see, this is a neat modern design that looks well on most house styles and is available in a wide range of colours and finishes.

Our first task was to remove the old door and the timber frame it was in. This often leaves old paint and sealant on the bricks and a line where the brickwork has aged, which sometimes can be cleaned up, but if not, we use matching uPCV to neatly cover the old brickwork and it boxes in the door nicely (as shown in close up).

The new door comes in its own steel frame, which has many benefits including security (no gaps to tamper with) and the fact it will not require painting like woodwork does. We take care fitting the door so it is nice and level with minimum gap under the door, depending on the floor level (the door has to be level). We can also provide solutions for a rubber weatherstip threshold, which bonds to the floor and will stop drafts and debris from blowing under the door.

We also pay good attention to how the door is setup, such as the spring tension. This means the door is very balanced, easy to use and will not put a strain on any parts. We provide a "door servicing service" where we can take care of your door and its maintenance annually or bi-annually, this helps to maintain your warranty and also keeps your door running smooth and looking smart (we clean it too!)

Please feel free to contact us for any enquiries you have or to arrange a free survey and quote. You can find more information on this type of door in the Hörmann brochure.

Hörmann vertical rib door, Denton, Tameside

November 23, 2019 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann vertical rib door, Denton, Tameside.

A recently installed up-and-over (canopy) garage door for a customer in our local Denton area. Chosen in a vertical rib style, in white, this type of door is often our entry level in terms of price. These doors do not compromise on quality though. Hörmann are one of the leaders in garage door technology, these German made doors and built to last and installed by our team with care to make it a great addition to your home.

The old door and timber frame were removed first on this job, so we are left with a brickwork opening, which is cleaned up and then the new door lifted into place. The steel door and frame are integral, which not only eliminated the need of a timber frame, but is also a big security improvement on old door types. Before we could fit the door on this job however, we needed some attention to the floor level.

As you might notice from the pictures. The floor is quite a lot out of level and the door has to be fitted "level". Normally if the floor is just a little out of level (most are) that is acceptable and it just means a varying gap under the door, we can also fit a rubber weatherstrip for the door to close against to take up these small amounts of gaps. This floor needed something a bit different though and we installed an aluminium floor threshold, which the door sits on top of and then the underneath gets filled in with a very stiff mix of mortar to take up the difference in floor level. Without digging lots of the floor and drive up and turning the whole thing into a huge job, this is an option we have for our customers.

Once the door was in place, level and plumb, we could then fix it into place and finish the outside off in white uPVC. A new steel lintel had to be also put in place before the job could be done, so we neatly covered that with a soffit and fascia board and also lined the internal walls to cover up the old stained brickwork where the previous frame was. This creates a nice boxed in look to the door and is very simple to clean with just warm, soapy water. No more painting required!

For more information on Hörmann canopy doors, feel free to browse the brochure. There are lots of colours to choose from and gorgeous styles to suit any home. You can also contact us to arrange a free survey and any advice you may need.

AlluGuard roller door, Dukinfield, Tameside

June 9, 2019 by Pennine Garage Doors

AlluGuard, Dukinfield Tameside2AlluGuard roller door, Dukinfield, Tameside

This modern looking roller door was recently fitted for a customer in Dukinfield, Tameside. An AlluGuard automatic roller door in a rosewood finish was chosen to match features on the house. We think you'll agree, it suits this home nicely.

AlluGuard, Dukinfield Tameside5

The old garage door we removed was a manual up-and-over type. It had become awkward to use, so a new garage door was decided on. In a situation like this, where the garage leads into the house via another internal door, the AlluGuard automatic roller door is a superb upgrade to the home and features many benefits over a normal garage door.

The door is fully automatic and operates at the touch of a button. Two keyfobs are provided, plus the door can be operated from a control box inside the garage. This control box also features an in-built alarm system that will only trigger if the door is tampered with.

AlluGuard, Dukinfield Tameside3Alluguard roller doors are also fully insulated and require no gaps around them like manual doors do. They seal to the floor and our customers tell us there is a noticeable difference when there are rooms above the garage.

AlluGuard, Dukinfield Tameside4

We always remove the old door from site and any timber frames etc. This door was installed in its own aluminium frame and does not require painting in the future. A simple wipe down with a damp cloth or mild soapy water will keep these (UV stable) doors looking like new for years to come. The outside of the door was finished off by lining the brickwork with matching rosewood uPVC, this provided a neat finish, as well as covering up the brickwork edges that were stained by old paint and sealants.
