Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 26 THE door industry journal summer 2019 Industry News New Duragrain Sectional Doors from Garador One of the UK’s leading garage door manufacturers, Garador, have just introduced an entirely new range of sectional garage doors. The new Duragrain range is a completely new concept, where a realistic timber, natural stone or metal illustration is printed onto the outside surface of the garage door. These new designs offer customers a more graphical alternative to the paint and timber effect finishes currently available on the market. Garador’s Duragrain range is comprised of 24 decorative colour finishes, which are comprised of 5 incredibly realistic natural stone decors, 18 authentic treated timber decors and 1 metal decor. The development of this new printing technology opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for garage door panel design, with the most unusual and unique surface finishes now possible. The new Duragrain surface finish has been development for some time now, as Garador’s Managing Director Neil Discombe comments: “Duragrain has been in development for a number of years, but we think it has been well worth the wait and the results really do speak for themselves.” Neil continues: “We don’t think homeowners will be disappointed with their new Duragrain sectional garage doors. The intricacies of the natural stone and timber prints are quite astonishing.” The new Duragrain decors will give more food for thought when designing the garage and surrounding property as Neil says: “Duragrain will add another dimension to their design aspirations, as each of the decorative finishes imitates a natural stone, real wood and metal.” Duragrain has been engineered to last, with the inclusion of a protective coating on the outside of the door. This protective coating is scratch-resistant, defending the underlying print from the effects of weathering and any little knocks life throws at it. Furthermore, the inks used to print the decors are UV-resistant and colourfast, meaning that they won’t fade or wash out over time. Garador’s Sectional garage doors already have many advantages, including excellent thermal insulation properties with 42mm insulated door sections, sturdy rubber seals on the base, sides and fascia of the door, as well as the black plastic frame leg plate to protect against corrosion. So, customers can rest assured they will still be getting a product with all of the benefits they have come to expect from a Garador sectional garage door. Duragrain will only be available on Garador Premium Linear Large door styles, and the door will be fully insulated with PU-foam at 42mm thick, making the door ideal for properties where the garage is used as a workshop or gym or for storing equipment.
