Garador says its up and over garage doors, fitted with its quick fit steel frames, tick all the boxes for busy tradesmen.
Garador prides itself on the affordability, looks and engineering of its up & over garage doors. An additional key aspect though, is that they come with quick-fit steel frames. As the name suggests, these frames are designed for fast installation and mean that one of the company’s up & over doors can be fitted quickly and easily with as little as 7 fixings.
The steel frames are fixed straight onto the brickwork, so there’s no need for a traditional timber sub-frame which can warp or rot over time. Added to which, Garador steel frames have been developed with longevity in mind and are fully galvanised to protect them against rust. Plus, with the tight and accurate fit they provide, there is no need for infill with strips of uPVC.
With the easy and fast fitting of a steel frame, a canopy geared Garador garage door can be installed with just 7 fixings and its retractable gear door with just 11 fixings, saving a great deal of time and effort. Another bonus is that the Garador steel frame is supplied factory painted to exactly match the colour of the Up & Over garage door, with no additional painting required.
“Our up & over garage doors have been designed with builders as well as homeowners in mind,” said Jon Watson, Managing Director of Garador. “These doors have always been among our top sellers, and in the current demanding market, we are not surprised to see sales of these doors continuing to surge.”
The company’s up & over steel garage doors are available in a huge range of styles and colours to make sure they suit the overall look of a home. They are also available in a number of sizes to fit a range of different sized openings. The garage doors can be fully automated too and fitted with the company’s own GaraMatic electric door operator, which allows even the widest garage door to be automated. The GaraMatic is equally designed for ease of use with specific attention to ensuring a quiet, smooth and fast opening. For peace of mind when it comes to safety, these electric operators comply with the latest European standards (BS 13241), including automatic reversal and built-in force limitation.
New sizes
The company says the 6’8’’ and 7’2’’ door heights for its up & over garage doors have continued to grow in popularity. Standard 6’6” and 7’0” garage door heights don’t always match openings and gaps often have to be filled with uPVC. These taller 6’8” and 7’2” door heights from Garador are intended to offer a perfect fit for taller standard openings, with a 6mm fitting tolerance. This means there is no need for uPVC cladding, saving both time and materials. The 6’8” door heights are available in the and can be supplied with either canopy or retractable lifting gear, whilst the 7’2” door heights only come with retractable lifting gear. Both heights are available in the Carlton and Horizon range.
