Hörmann Finesse style door, Glossop

Hörmann Finesse style garage door, Glossop

Recently installed by our team for a customer in Glossop, Derbyshire. This Hörmann garage door has given the house a fresh modern look. The style of door is known as the “Finesse”, it is a manual canopy door chosen in white with matching uPVC fascia and trims.

As you can see from the “old door” photograph, the previous garage door was crooked in its frame and had become awkward to use. We started by removing the old door and then the timber frame and studding above the door. We are then left with a brickwork opening that we clean up of old sealants and paint, then we can lift the new door into place. We take the time to get the door nice and central and level and then we can fix it into place.

When the door is in it’s final position, we then made a sturdy timber studding to go above the door which the new fascia board covers. You can see how we take pride with our finishing trims and sealing the job neatly to the brickwork. New Hörmann doors come in their own steel frames, so they do not require a timber subframe. Which means no more rotting timbers or painting of wood. It is also good for security because there are no gaps around the door to tamper with.

Security is very good on these doors, the doors come as standard with two sturdy latch points, another two latches can be added as extra. The finish on the doors is very tough and UV stable, meaning it won’t fade in colour over the years. We offer a service plan for customers, which involves an annual service on the door and thorough clean. This helps to meet the manufacturer recommended maintenance and keeps your door working and looking like new.

Hörmann manual canopy doors come in a wide range of styles and colours to suit any home. If you would like to see more about this product, you can view the brochure here.

Hörmann horizontal rib door, Dukinfield

Hörmann horizontal style door, Dukinfield

A recent installation of our team at Pennine Garage doors for a customer in our local area of Dukinfield, Tameside. This job was quite a transformation to this garage, as well as replacing the old door, we also gave the garage a nice clean, new look.

As you can see from the picture, the old door had become quite old and was damaged too. First of all we removed the old door and a timber leg that needed replacing. Due to it being a concrete panel garage, timber legs are needed to help fit the door to. We will always replace rotting timbers if possible and where needed to safely fit the door to.

Once we had a solid frame fixed, we could then lift the door into place and make sure it is a level and central as possible. While we are fitting the door, we are also then looking at installing the new uPVC surrounding the door. We always take care that our finishing touches are neat and as you can see, it has made a nice transformation to the front of this garage.

The new door is a Hörmann horizontal rib style. It is a manual (canopy) garage door that is very easy to operate. The door comes in its own steel frame and features a secure multi point locking system. The finish on the doors is very durable and high quality too. Hörmann are a leader in garage doors and this type of garage door is available in a wide range of colours and style to suit any home.

Hörmann sectional door, Runcorn

Hörmann sectional garage door, Runcorn

This is a door we installed for a customer in Runcorn, Cheshire. A Hörmann sectional garage door was chosen in white, which is a very sleek looking door and looks lovely in this brick opening.

A sectional door is one of the highest quality doors we install for customers. They consist of four panels that are hinged, the door opens straight up and requires no kick-out, meaning a vehicle can be parked close to the door. Hörmann sectional doors are very secure and are also fully insulated, which helps to keep the house warm if the garage leads into the house.

The door is fully automated and can be operated by simply pressing a button on one of the two remote controls that are supplied with the door, you can also use the control panel on the garage door operating system too. The operator features a light, that will come on when the door is operated and stays on for a short time to help illuminate the garage.

All automated doors we install all feature safety systems that are built in to prevent the door damaging anything whilst in operation. If the door meets any obstacles, it will stop and reverse. We offer a very affordable service plan to help look after your door too. We check the whole installation and fixings, safety systems, replacing any batteries in remotes and lubricating and cleaning the door, which helps to keep the door looking and working like new.

With this installation, all of the old materials and previous door were removed from site and everything left tidy as always. We also clad around the door with matching uPVC trims and fascia to bring the whole job together.

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 RollMatic T, Denton

April 24, 2021 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann RollMatic T, Denton, Tameside

A recently installation by our team of a fully automatic roller door for a customer in Denton, Tameside. The door is a RollMatic T type door, made by Hörmann and demonstrated by the customers daughter (thanks!), who seemed to rather like her new garage door.

All of the automatic garage doors we install have safety mechanisms that make them safe and child friendly. Although we would always advise letting your children know not to put themselves in the way of any moving parts. However, if the door does meet an obstacle on its travel, then it will simply stop and reverse and short distance.

As you can see with this installation, we installed the door behind the brickwork opening and then lined the brickwork in white uPVC. This helps to give the door a nice boxed in look. We also sometimes do this when we take an old door out and find that the brickwork is a little worse for wear. We always aim to finish jobs neatly to blend in with other features on your home.

The door is simple to use, just by pressing a button on one of the provided remote controls (doors come with 2 remotes), or you can use the internal control box to control the door. It’s a lot less hassle now for this family to get their bikes and other bits and bobs out of the garage now, the door is insulated too and seals to the floor, which helps to keep the weather out nicely.
