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.

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.

Teckentrup sectional door, Northwich

Teckentrup sectional door, Northwich, Cheshire

A recent installation by our team of a Teckentrup sectional garage door. For a lovely customer in Northwich, who chose the door in anthracite grey to match the front door of the house.

The job was installed over two days to ensure everything ran smoothly and wasn't rushed. Due to the nature of the installation, we fit this door to a sturdy timber subframe, which was built up after the removal of the old door and frame. The legs of the frame were sat off the ground by an inch, this is so that the legs won't soak up water from the floor and rot over time. The frame was then overclad in matching uPVC.

We always take your old door away from site, as well as other materials that are removed. Most of our waste is recycled. After removing the old door, we took the time to clean the brickwork of old sealants and filled holes left by wooded pads with mortar.

The new door can then be assembled in place, starting with the frame and track system, the remote control system and panels are then installed lastly. We also used matching uPVC to clad over the frame and sealed the job up.

Teckentrup sectional door are a very high quality product and have many benefits over a standard up-and-over door. They are thermally insulated, highly secure, there is no kickout of the door meaning you can park near to the door and simple to use with just the push of a button.

Teckentrup automatic door. Padfield, Glossop.

A recent installation of a Teckentrup, automatic sectional garage door, in a ribbed style and rosewood colour, chosen to match other features on the house, which is in the lovely scenic area of Padfield.

The old door that was replaced was a manual door that had become quite unusable. After safely removing the old door. We could start to remove the old timber frame and clean up the stonework ready for the new door.

The new sectional door has its own steel frame and tracks, which are the first part of the door to be installed along with the spring system. Teckentrup doors use multiple springs to balance the door, this is so that the load is spread and the springs don't take as much wear and tear as the springs on some older type doors do.

The panels are loaded into place lastly and connected to the spring system. Sectional doors consist of four panels that are hinged. The door opens vertically and then back into the garage via its track system. This means there is no kick out on the door and vehicles can be parked right up to it.

We finally finished the job off by using rosewood uPVC fascia board to box the job in neatly and cover up where the old timber frame had been.

This door will be much easier for the customer to use than the old door, by simply pressing a button. The door is also very well insulated and highly secure. We rate sectional doors as the best on the market for these reasons.
