Fingerprint-controlled operation is also available. Insulation has become a must-have for garages. Garador was among the first manufacturers to offer high-insulation doors. For example, Garador’s Premium Sectional garage doors provide exceptional thermal insulation with U-values down to 1.30 W/m2K. “It is exciting when planning a new restoration or build for a home, but there is so much more to a garage door than looks and colour,” said Jon Watson, Garador’s managing director. “Of course, we cover the latest trends in style, but equally important is choosing the best material, design and functionality for individual requirements.” He said: “Our huge range of doors is available in the widest variety of materials, including steel, timber effect, real timber and GRP, each offering unique advantages for different locations and builds. Glass-reinforced polyester (GRP) garage doors are now a popular choice for many homes, offering an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, natural insulation, resistance to warping, shrinking, or rust and they are virtually maintenance-free.” Location can influence the choice of garage door. For example, Garador’s roller doors feature aluminium laths, which are highly resistant to moisture and salt corrosion, making them an excellent, durable choice for coastal homes. Garador’s new paint technology has also been cleverly designed to withstand the elements while providing a deep and highly durable finish. Roller doors are also ideal for maximising driveway space or maintaining full ceiling height inside the garage. Thanks to new design and technology, one of Garador’s more recent introductions, the side-hinged garage door, is now available. “When garages first started to be built across Britain, side-hinged garage doors were one of the earliest designs,” said Jon. “Now, once again, as garages are used as modern offices and gyms or to store gardening, DIY and other equipment, people value fast and simple entry and these easy-access doors are becoming hugely popular.” Garador’s side-hinged doors incorporate a range of modern features and technology, including door stays that make it easy to prop the doors open even in blustery conditions and a two-point espagnolette locking system to ensure top security. Today, choosing a garage door is a complex business, but there is help on hand. “Our friendly team of advisors, both at our Somerset head office and through our extensive network of merchants and suppliers across the country, can help you choose the very best garage door for your budget and build,” said Jon.
