Teckentrup sectional door, Heswall, Wirral

February 29, 2020 by Pennine Garage Doors

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.

AlluGuard roller door, Great Sutton, Wirral

AlluGuard roller door, Great Sutton, Wirral.

We cover a large area in the North West, a lot of our work is in the Wirral and we have our own representative in the area. We don't do pressure sales here at Pennine. But we do offer a friendly, professional service from start to finish, provided by specialists who take pride in our installations. You can read our review section to see just how happy our customers are.

This automatic AlluGuard roller door was fitted for a customer in Great Sutton in the Wirral. The door we removed was an old up-and-over door that had become awkward to use. The roller door was chosen as a neat replacement door.

As you can see, the modern roller doors we fit look very neat and are available in sizes to fit almost any size openings. Which is handy for non standard sized openings where certain other doors would start costing more due to custom sized doors etc. AlluGuard doors are available in a wide range of colours and woodgrain finishes to suit any features on your home.

The door comes complete in its own sturdy aluminium frame, which we is fixed securely to the walls with sturdy fixings. These roller doors are insulated and seal to the floor. Customers tell us this makes a big difference with house insulation. If your floor is unlevel, we can also fit a metal floor threshold which we can install level for the door to sit on, this creates a slight ramp, but is not a trip hazard.

There is an internal control box with a handy light which will come on for a short time when the door is used, this also features an integral alarm which does not need arming and will only trigger if the door is tampered with. You get two remote controls for the door.

We finished this door off by cladding over the old paint stained brickwork and around the door in white UV stable uPVC. This creates a neat finish around the door and is very easy to clean and maintain like new.

Hörmann sectional door, Wallasey, Wirral

March 9, 2019 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann T-ribbed sectional door. Wallasey, Wirral.

We cover a large area in the North West. This installation was for a customer in Wallasey, Wirral, who are in the process of modernising their home. This stylish looking Hörmann automatic sectional door was chosen.

It is one of many design options available with sectional doors. This design is known as a T-ribbed, style 500, with divided inlays in stainless steel. The inlays are also available in wood effect and can be partial (like this door), or can run across the whole door. There are many other design options with sectional doors, such as round or square windows. There are also many colour options available, which allows you to choose the perfect door for your home.

This door was installed in a day by our team, who take great care in ensuring our products are installed to a high quality. We want you to be happy with your choice of door, so we like to finish jobs neatly and pride ourselves in being tidy.

Sectional doors are a good choice if you require a garage door to be insulated and seal to the floor. Many garages lead into houses and these doors make a big difference in keeping the weather out. They are also very secure and have durable, UV stable finishes. Most sectional doors we fit are automated, which means there is no need for a handle on the front, so there is nothing to tamper with. All automated doors feature back-up functionality as a manual door in the event of a power cut.

This installation was finished off on the outside with matching pvc trims around the frame and we capped the exposed steel lintel off with matching pvc flatboard too.

AlluGuard roller door, The Wirral

AlluGuard roller door, anthracite grey, The Wirral.

The team at Pennine Garage Doors recently installed this classic looking, automatic roller door for a customer in the Wirral. The door was chosen in anthracite grey (RAL7016)

The door we removed was an old manual up-and-over door. This new roller door is as easy as pressing a button and looks great next to the newly installed front door of the house.

The customer also gained width on the garage opening width due to the way the old door had been installed. We find that people like roller doors due to their ease of use, good security and space saving features.

AlluGuard roller doors have many great features. They have an integral alarm which is reliable and won't go off at unwanted times. They seal to the floor (if it is reasonably level), are insulated and open vertically with no kick out, meaning you can park a vehicle close to it.

Select, Side-hinged doors, Great Sutton

June 29, 2018 by Pennine Garage Doors

Select side-hinged doors, Great Sutton, Wirral.

A pair of black side-hinged garage doors, made by Select and installed by our team. These doors were fitted for a customer in Great Sutton to replace a pair of timber side hinge doors.

The Select range of side-hinge doors are made of steel and come in their own steel frame, this door has a white frame and we also used white uPCV trims and fascia to give the door a nice framing from the outside, this also matches the style of the front door of the house.

The doors are simple to use and feature high security locks. There are internal and external handles and locks, meaning you can lock the door from the inside without needing your key. The locking is very secure for your peace of mind. "Door stays" are also included, to keep the door from closing on it's own etc.

Side hinge doors can be made to suit your needs. The doors can be split in the middle, as this customer chose, or split to one side, so that one door is larger than the other. This is handy for people who mainly use the door as a personel door.

Maintaining the doors is much easier than having to paint them and coping with timber swelling and doors sticking etc. We removed all the timber from this opening including the old frame. A wipe over with some soapy water now and then will keep the door and surrounding frame looking nice and new.

For more information, please feel free to browse the Select brochure, you can also contact us for to arrange a free survey or any advice you may require.
