Since day one, the finest German engineering has been the foundation of the Carteck sectional garage door range and at its very heart is the elegantly simple extension spring lifting gear. “We knew the industry would take some convincing” said Managing Director Jim Rodger “but garage door specialists soon caught-on when they compared our gear to the ugliest part of traditional sectional garage doors, the torsion spring. There’s so little to think about with our extension springs - no worrying about headroom or which type of gear you’ll need to fit. It’s just so simple when almost all sizes install in the same way and are 115mm low headroom as standard. For the consumer, the gear provides a smoother action than torsion springs and is hidden away for a tidy, safe installation. How many times have you seen rusty, oil dripping extension springs - never!” said Jim. He concluded, “front mount torsion springs require lots of headroom and the low headroom alternative puts heavy torsion springs at the end of the tracks that can prove difficult to secure. Extension springs distribute the weight along the tracks evenly and don’t place undue load on any track fixing point. We know that after five years of strong sales the Carteck the extension spring is preferred by consumers and makes life easy for surveying and installing, here’s to the next five years!” For details of the Carteck sectional garage door range call on 01925 924050 or email jim@teckentrupdepot.co.uk .

Why would anyone want to paint a wooden door? You may be covering the natural colour of timber but a painted door retains the special look that only timber can create. Subtle texture and grain remains with painted wood and now finishing to a RAL colour is simple - it’s available as a standard option from Woodrite. RAL finishing from Woodrite is available on all styles. To reduce the leaching of tannins the door is built in red grandis hardwood (an excellent knot free and stable hardwood), coated in a tannin-block and then sprayed to the desired RAL colour. The finish has a list price of £245 / £425 for a single/double door. For details of the Woodrite range contact Woodrite on 01280 841010 or email to enquiries@woodritedoors.co.uk or visit www.woodritedoors.co.uk
