Given the current date, I will ensure the language remains fresh and current while maintaining the core information.
Here’s a rephrased and unique version of your Garador product descriptions:
With such a wide array of garage door types and their various configurations, we felt it would be beneficial to clarify the specific functionalities of each Garador garage door. To further assist you, we’ve also produced a series of concise and informative YouTube videos that highlight the distinct features and advantages of every door.
Up & Over Garage Doors
Garador up-and-over garage doors represent an ideal choice for most homeowners, thanks to their dependable performance, practical design, and appealing aesthetics. They are offered with either canopy or retractable gearing.1
Canopy gearing involves the door panel moving vertically along tracks within the side frame, complemented by a spring assembly at the top of the frame. When open, approximately one-third of the door panel extends outwards, creating a canopy.2 This setup means no tracks intrude into the garage space when the door is closed. Conversely, retractable gearing features the door panel opening along horizontal tracks that extend back into the garage.3 This gearing type has been specifically engineered for seamless integration with an electric operator.4 Both gearing options are equipped with an essential anti-drop safety device. Garador steel doors are crafted with a robust, baked-on powder-coated finish and a smooth, rivet-free panel.5 They also boast a strong box-section chassis and are constructed from high-grade galvanized steel.6
Up-and-over garage doors are available in a selection of three distinct materials: steel, timber, and GRP, alongside a variety of colors and finishes. All up-and-over doors are straightforward to install and come with comprehensive technical and warranty support.
Guardian Range Up & Over Garage Doors
The Garador Guardian Range comprises Secured by Design garage doors that adhere to stringent standards set by the Association of Chief Police Officers.7 This accreditation ensures the doors are robust enough to withstand attempted forced entry by burglars.
Secured by Design certification is exclusively granted to Garador steel up-and-over garage doors, currently offered in the Horizon and Carlton styles. These doors are significantly reinforced, featuring eight door braces on the rear compared to the standard two, for exceptional strength.8 They also incorporate additional steel plates fitted at the base of the door to safeguard the bottom locking points.9 The locking systems themselves have been upgraded, featuring a new anti-snap cylinder on the lock and a protective steel plate over the lock body.10 These doors can be supplied in a choice of any of seven standard colors, with either canopy or retractable gearing. They are available in both standard and custom-made sizes; please consult the Garador price list for specific details. Please note that, at present, the Guardian Range is not available in double door configurations.
Sectional Garage Doors
Garador Sectional garage doors are recognized as some of the most expertly engineered garage doors on the market, providing outstanding security for homeowners.11 The door is divided into multiple sections that glide along vertical and then horizontal tracks, retracting into the garage. These doors rise vertically, preserving all driveway space in front of the garage, and offer a full opening drive-through width, which is particularly beneficial for wider vehicles.
Sectional garage doors offer a choice of insulation levels, including Classic and Premium options. Classic doors are uninsulated, while Premium insulated doors boast 42mm of insulation.12 They are equipped with rubber weather seals on all sections of the door, effectively retaining heat and excluding water.13 These doors are perfectly suited for both manual and electric operation.
GaraRoll Roller Garage Doors
The Garador roller door is composed of insulated aluminum laths that lift vertically and then neatly roll into a compact box positioned at the top of the garage door opening.14 The Garador roller door provides an efficient space-saving solution for garages where retaining ceiling area or roof access is desired.15
This roller door stands out as the only spring-assisted roller door currently on the market. The integrated spring significantly reduces the strain on the electric motor, contributing to a longer service life and making manual operation by hand considerably easier without the need for a hand crank. The rust-resistant aluminum laths make this door an excellent choice for properties located near the coast.
Roller garage doors are available in a selection of colors and timber-effect foil coatings, and are supplied complete with an electric operator and two handsets as standard.16 The door also includes an internal wall button and a courtesy light for convenience on dark winter nights.17
Side-Hinged Garage Doors
Garador Side-Hinged garage doors are supplied pre-built onto their own steel frame and swing outwards, providing clear and unobstructed space within the garage.18
These doors offer a full drive-through height and feature a shoot bolt latch at both the top and bottom of the door for enhanced security.19 Durable steel hinges are securely fitted to the frame, ensuring reliable function over time. Weather seals positioned around three sides of the door help to prevent draughts. The robust center style on the edge of the right-side door provides additional protection against forced entry to the locking system. These doors are available in steel and timber, with a range of color finishes and sizes.
