Domestic Garage Doors Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk THE door industry journal summer 2023 44 New 20mm Insulated Side-Hinged Garage Doors from Fort As an example, a 2150mm wide x 2250mm high door (size includes frame) in white, lists at just £1993 (Ex VAT) and £2176 (Ex VAT) for any of the 27 standard colours, with made to measure as standard. Fort, once again, introduces doors at a very keen price. “We’ve taken a ground-up look at the products on the market, typically made from expensive sectional door panels, and rather than follow the same route, we’ve designed the new doors from scratch. This brings significant savings, yet gives us a very high quality, precision engineered door.” Commented Lee Moon, Fort Doors’ M.D. SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT “To hit our price point we knew that automation would be essential, and we’ve invested in CNC machining at our Birmingham factory to achieve that goal alongside repeatable quality. “The door frame and leaf surround are custom aluminium profiles and are just brilliant! Our expertise in steel has been a big help too – we’re forming the door panels at our factory from steel skins bonded to an insulated core to create a 20mm insulated section. “We’re not stuck with the set sectional panel sizes found on other doors, every design is well proportioned at each made-to-measure size”, added Lee. BIG ON FEATURES The five styles look stunning and are packed with well-considered features: • U-Value 2.8 W/m2K (based on a 2250mm x 2040mm door). • Made to measure as standard. The new range of 20mm insulated sidehinged garage doors has many stand-out elements – build quality, design and insulation. But before exploring those, a headline element is the price – single doors start at £1261 and double doors start at £1765 list.
