Door Industry Journal - Spring 2012

Also online at: www.doorindustryjournal.co.uk 29 THE door industry journal spring 2012 garage doors JUST HOW BIG IS SUPER-SIZE? Our Super-Size doors feature as a line in our price list, however it’s only when you see one you realise just how big an 8m wide door really is! The door was sold and installed by Derek and Jane Matter of Dimensions in Hailsham. Derek and Jane sent a video of the finished installation that is available to view on Teckentrups youtube channel “The Garage Door Guru” at http://www.youtube.com/user/teckentrupdepot At 8 metres wide the door hardly seems real but, there it is, in its entire golden oak Georgian panel glory - not often you see a 10-feature panel door! “Big doors present no problem for Teckentrup - Derek and Jane contacted us with a “Can you?” and, as usual, the answer from us was “YES!” Teckentrup has from it’s very beginning been the most “can-do” company in the UK garage door industry and we’ve always gone the extra mile for our customers - in this case the extra 8 metres!” said Jim Rodger, The Teckentrup Depot’s Sales Director. For full details of how to Super-Size your door contact Jim Rodger on 01925 924050. SIDE HUNG - CONTEMPORARY CHOICE... The side hinged range of doors from the Teckentrup Depot continues to capture the interest of the consumer. The design possibilities of this “traditional” style of door are attracting new interest as a contemporary solution. The clean simple lines and minimal styling were the perfect choice for this installation by Essex Garage Doors in Newmarket. “We’re constantly surprised by the consumer reaction to our side hinged range of doors. We knew the insulation and high-grade fittings give the doors many unique selling points, but it’s the design requests we keep receiving that have been a surprise. “Can we have a line of square windows down the left?” “Can you mix the panel profiles on a door?” The answer is always yes, but it’s as if customers are designing the doors not us!” said Jim Rodger, the Teckentrup Depot’s Sales Director. If you have customers looking for something a little different, it seems that the side hinged door is a serious option for you to consider. A new brochure featuring a selection of the design variants, was launched in March. For a copy of the brochure contact Jim Rodger on 01925 924050. A BLACK EYE FOR TECKENTRUP... After a very successful summer promotion that was extended to the winter months and featured a “colourful” eye and an “iced” eye as its signature, Teckentrup now has a black eye! The black eye heralds the arrival of black as a trend colour (Trend colours are the most popular garage door colours that Teckentrup holds as coated steel from which door panels are made to order). Black is a rarity for sectional garage doors, yet Teckentrup is introducing two shades - RAL 9005 JET BLACK as a flat colour and, for extra impact, TT 9011 GRAPHITE BLACK (TT refers to the micaceous iron ore particles that creates a stunning matt metallic effect). Jim Rodger, the Teckentrup Depot’s Sales Director commented - “We’re often asked for black and we know it is a colour in demand. We’ve overcome the technical challenges that black presents and are delighted to give our customers yet another reason to win sales with Teckentrup products.” For full details of the new colours and a sample contact Jim Rodger on 01925 924050.
