The door quickly found its place in the market but it was the digital printing design feature that really captured the imagination of homeowners and installers alike. Now, Alutech has made these endless visual options even more accessible by offering the digital print option on the ever-popular Trend series of sectional garage doors. This specialised industrial digital printing technology allows the application of complex images onto the door leaf, making it possible to bring the homeowner’s most imaginative and personalised design ideas to life, as well as offering a wide selection of natural wood and stone effects. Of the four digital print options available, the natural wood prints are set to be a sure-fire hit, offering a unique finish for those who appreciate the beauty and authenticity of nature. Similarly, the natural stone prints mimic the patterns found in real stone and marble in all their glory. And of course, you can also have an image of your choice printed on your door panel set or choose from the many theme prints Alutech offer from categories such as nature, landscapes and vehicle themes. Jason Wade, JD UK National Sales Manager, commented, “We’re delighted to be able to offer this exciting and innovative design option on what is our most popular door, the Trend. We’re increasingly seeing that homeowners no longer want to imitate the style of their neighbours, but rather differentiate their property with something that’s truly unique to them. The digital printing technology allows them to achieve exactly that, where the only limit is their imagination.” Other features and benefits of the Alutech Trend Series: • Roller brackets with ball race bearings.
