Teckentrup is upgrading the wood effect finish of it’s Carteck sectional and side hinged garage doors. The new woodgrains are a paint finished surface instead of the traditional surface bonded film. The move brings several significant benefits: • Advantage 1 The grain effect is more pronounced and… …woodlike! • Advantage 2 The finish is more durable – scuff and scratch tests show the new finish is markedly more resilient, ensuring doors stay looking good for longer. UV stability is also improved. • Advantage 3 The doors’ frame legs and header can be finished in the same way so matching issues are gone doors for fitting part or fully within the reveal. (No more flat brown frames) • Advantage 4 If you’re using our 3-D frame profile covers or renovating angles to mask gaps or tidy up brickwork they all match too. • Advantage 5 Price The new finishes attract no premium compared to bonded films, so a better finish for no more money. “We looked at the limitations of our current woodgrain film material, in particular the stress marking that prevented us using the material to match frame legs and headers. We knew we needed a solution. When we saw the great depth of detail and durability of the painted finish panels we were impressed, when we saw how easy it became to match everything else, we were upbeat… and then came the price, we knew had a winner to share with our customers” Effused Jim Rodger, Teckentrup’s Managing Director. The new finish will be available in the ever-popular Golden Oak, Rosewood and a new Night Oak that is sure to capture new sales. (Winchester continues to be supplied as decorative foil while stocks last and its frames and cover plates remain in matching RAL colours).
