The vision was to deliver unbeatable safety performance without the requirement of batteries or curly cables and no vulnerable electrical contact strips/optical beams. “The feedback from our dealers on the product is that they love the simple operation and the ease with which it is installed” said Roy Sinclair, Managing Director of Gliderol. “This development is testament to our employees’ dedication to delivering and evolving the best products and service day in and day out.” Additional benefits are that the weather seal runs the full width of the curtain and is unaffected by rough or uneven garage floors and it will detect obstacles within the guides and works great with compacts too. Gordon Gilbraith, Sales Manager of Gliderol added: “The product we can offer customers now is totally unique and innovative, not only is the safety system brilliantly simple to install and importantly will not have the age old problems relating to batteries, wires, beams, contacts etc. we also have improved the seal at the bottom of the door by ‘fixing’ this in place meaning no chance of light gaps, also we fit an extruded lath not just at the bottom of the door but also at the top – this makes the door super strong and allows for a much greater holding / positioning when locked in place.” Gordon continued: “The customer comments have really bowled us over – people are telling us “it’s a no brainer” and “at last something different” also “great set up, easy for the fitters” and “works like a dream”, we are really excited to be at the forefront of the next generation of garage door development and we welcome customers to give the new system a try.” Alongside the development of the Roll Smart System, Gliderol’s new state of the art lath assembly machinery, gives a high-quality finished product, whilst giving a consistently 1st class result in an efficient way. The colour range has been increased on both the 77mm and 55mm lath this year, so customers’ demands are met and exceeded on choice and supply. Gliderol can even offer any RAL or BS colour. Also, the addition of the newly introduced coloured laminated finishes to the 77mm range of Black, White, Anthracite and Irish Oak, has now extended the range to over 23 colours in stock. Along with new packaging and delivery (no matter the volume) across the UK, Gliderol are well placed to meet what the market demands. Gliderol like to say that the whole process is designed with “simplicity in mind”. Fitters tip – use the handset side on to achieve the 10mm space required for the magnet. “Sizes up to 5.5m wide and 3.2m in height” “brilliantly simple to install and importantly will not have the age old problems relating to batteries, wires, beams, contacts etc.” “weather seal runs the full width of the curtain and is unaffected by rough or uneven garage floors and it will detect obstacles within the guides and works great with compacts too” “The control box illumination is now standard fit LED”
