THE door industry journal summer 2019 Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 73 Domestic Garage Doors Introducing the UK’s Most Secure Garage Door from SWS UK and Qompact ® SWS UK are proud to announce their launch of Qompact ® , adding the most compact and secure roller garage door to their extensive security product range. Leading security product manufacturer, SWS UK, has added the most secure garage door available in the UK to their range. Qompact ® has been independently tested to STS 202 Burglary Resistance Level 2 (BR2) – the only garage door that has achieved this specification in the country. It has also qualified for Secured by Design (SBD) status, but further to what SBD tests for, Qompact ® can also withstand attacks from sledgehammers and extreme weather. Alongside its enviable security status, Qompact ® also boasts its availability in the world’s smallest shutter box. With the ability to roll into just 150mm, it takes up half the space of a traditional shutter box due to its patented and unique lath design. What Applications Can Qompact ® Be Used for? The subtle differences in lath sizes means that Qompact ® has extremely tight nesting. This can make it ideal for domestic applications as it has minimal impact on the aesthetic of a home. For businesses, Qompact ® can be built very tall and wide without vertical supports as it isn’t foam filled. The high spec security means that it can withstand physical force, including from sledgehammers, and can’t be pried out with crowbars due to the end retention screws. Is Qompact ® an Attractive Security Product? Qompact ® can be tailored to specific needs and made to look just as your customer would like. Due to the small box size, the design of Qompact ® makes it unobtrusive. Furthermore, there are three different box types to choose from, including the unique curved box. In terms of the curtain aesthetic, Qompact ® can be created with punched or unpunched profiles and individually powder coated to match the colour of the façade for a surcharge.

Garage Door Systems packs perfection for Alutech Crated sectional garage doors and doors with heavy duty timber packing are extremely heavy and at times can be dangerous to handle. Not only that, but they ship a lot of “fresh air” making logistics less efficient. Garage Door Systems Trend sectional garage doors from Alutech are all flat packed – panels in pairs for easy handling and boxed gear. It’s a small thing, but it makes handling doors on site for installers a very simple and safe task. Garage Door Systems recent introduction of Trend sectional garage doors has seen pleasing sales – Mark McEvoy, GDS Commercial Director commented: “It’s great to see increasing numbers of trucks arriving at GDS from Alutech. Repackaging crated doors for delivery to our customers flat-packed, may seem like an unnecessary step, but our desire to back the product with world-class service wins us business. Feedback from customers tells us it’s a very worthwhile process.” For more details on Alutech sectional garage doors, talk to Paul McAdoo and Mark McEvoy or the team at Garage Door Systems on 0870 242 3 242.
