THE door industry journal spring 2025 Domestic Garage Doors Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 60 There’s More to a Garage Door than Just Good Looks! Everyone wants a stylish garage door, and thanks to advancements in materials, design and technology, modern garage doors can be a striking feature in any home. However, leading garage door manufacturer Garador emphasises that there’s much more to a garage door than just aesthetics. “Modern garage doors are built on advanced technology - and not just for opening mechanisms,” says Jon Watson, Managing Director of Garador. “As a leader in garage door manufacturing, we offer the latest in automatic openers, from smart hub and smartphone control to fingerprint recognition. But technology goes even further than that.” Jon highlights Garador’s Durabelt system, introduced for its popular GaraGlide roller garage doors. “This innovative system features a special belt made from microcellular polyurethane elastomer, designed to reduce marks and scratches on the curtain surface. It ensures smooth operation and enhances the longevity of the door. It may seem like a small detail, but it makes a significant difference,” he explains. Beyond convenience, Garador continues to focus on security, insulation, and sustainability. “We offer some of the most secure garage doors in the British domestic market,” says Jon. “We were among the first manufacturers to achieve full Secured by Design accreditation. Our Guardian range for steel up-and-over doors provides especially high security.” Energy efficiency is another priority. “A well-insulated garage helps keep stored items warm and dry while also contributing to lower energy bills,” Jon adds. “Our premium sectional doors feature 42mm-thick double-skin steel sections, filled with 100% CFC-free PU rigid foam, delivering outstanding insulation with U-values as low as 1.30 W/m2K.” Garador’s commitment to innovation extends to environmental responsibility. “We’ve been manufacturing garage doors in Somerset for over 70 years, but staying ahead means embracing change,” Jon says. “A few years ago, who would have thought we’d install 1,600 solar panels on our roof as part of our sustainability strategy?” “By continuing to innovate, I have no doubt that Garador will remain a leader in garage door manufacturing for many years to come.” Find out more about Garador’s wide range of garage doors by speaking to one of their friendly advisers at 01935 443 700 or visiting www.garador.co.uk .
