Door Industry Journal - Spring 2013

38 THE door industry journal spring 2013 For many, there’s no substitute for a timber garage door, however as maintenance is a factor with real timber doors, it is worth considering timber-effect door which are now far more widely available. Garador’s foil-coated timber-effect finish makes it possible to achieve the natural appearance of wood whilst retaining the cost and maintenance advantages of a steel door. A door which requires little or no maintenance to its face is also particularly popular through the cold winter months. Is home-security particularly important? Although the garage door is the largest entrance system to the house, it is often overlooked when ensuring a property is secure. A garage also often houses expensive vehicles, tools, bikes and other valuable belongings. The ‘Secured by Design’ flagship initiative from the UK police, is supporting the principles of ‘designing out crime’ and Garador is proud to be the only Up & Over Garage Door manufacturer that meets this exacting standard.
