Door Industry Journal - Winter 2016

ROLL UP, ROLL UP - FOR AN EXCITING NEW DOOR FROM GARADOR Garador has launched a brand new product! The GaraRoll Lite is an exciting new garage door that offers a range of advantages and innovative engineering - all at an affordable price. The original GaraRoll roller door was launched back in 2011 and has been a top favourite across the UK, thanks to its space saving design and rust resistant aluminium laths and its unique spring balance system. Now, the new GaraRoll Lite gives an alternative choice for people seeking the advantages of a great roller door but with a significant price advantage. Garador’s managing director Simon Hipgrave says: “We have been looking at bringing out a more affordable version of our very sophisticated GaraRoll roller doors for some time, and we are now delighted GaraRoll Lite is ready to put on the market”. Simon continues: “While we expect our GaraRoll, with its unique technology to continue to sell well; GaraRoll Lite also offers excellent functionality and of course great looks which we know will be appealing for both modern and traditional builds across the country.” As expected, GaraRoll Lite is engineered to Garador’s very high standards. It combines a tubular motor driven design with the convenience of an automatic electric operator and two hand transmitters that use a 433 MHz ultra-high frequency radio signal for added security. The doors are constructed from 77mm high aluminium profiles, filled with CFC free polyurethane foam providing thermal insulation. There is also a built-in internal courtesy light with 2 minute delay, for ease of use on those dark winters’ nights. The design and colour of a garage door is a crucial choice for nearly all homeowners and builders. The GaraRoll Lite is available in a choice of three smooth and deco paint colours: Traffic White, Anthracite Grey and Golden Oak (timber effect). It also features two stylish lines on each lath; these subtle linear indentations contribute to a minimalistic design, whilst giving the impression of a smart, modern and well- engineered door. Safety is a key consideration with any new door design at Garador. To meet European Safety Standards, each GaraRoll Lite is therefore supplied with a solid metal box cover for the curtain when it rolls up at the top of the door opening. Furthermore, an optical sensor has been fitted into the floor seal to ensure that the door curtain stops, in the event of an obstruction. The optical sensor utilises light beam technology, whereby when the beam is broken the door will stop. Purchasing a roller door design that is easy to fit is an important consideration for builders and garage door installers alike. With the GaraRoll Lite, Garador have come up with a handy-belt system to fit the curtain to the barrel, making the door quicker and easier to install. With guides of just 72mm, not normally found on domestic roller doors, these doors can be fitted behind 75mm reveals.

In modern buildings, space is always at a premium inside and out, and driveways are noticeably shorter today on many properties. So it is no surprise that Garador’s sectional garage doors are now a top seller across the UK. These superbly engineered doors open vertically then horizontally on tracks back into the garage, eliminating the problem of losing driveway space through standard up and over doors, which ‘kick out’ on opening. Thanks to the vertical opening, cars can park close up to the garage door, a huge benefit in modern homes. There is another benefit too....Garador’s Sectional garage doors run on metal tracks that travel vertically and then horizontally into the top of the garage. This means there is also no loss of width in the garage space, giving maximum parking space for wider vehicles such as 4 x 4s and MPVs. Along with their great practicality, many choose Garador’s sectional garage doors to enhance the look and style of a property. The doors come in a wide variety of surface finishes, designs and colours, including ribbed and panelled versions, elegant Georgian style and small and even ultra modern large linear, ensuring anyone can find exactly the right style of door to suit their property. With a full range of size options, including standard and purpose made, there really is a door for every requirement and every build. As with all Garador garage doors, the sectional door range offer excellent security and reliability. Sturdy rubber weather seals on all sides of the door ensure maximum weather proofing and 42mm thick door sections on Premium models ensures terrific thermal insulation. This has to be the best choice for integral garages and workshops where thermal insulation is paramount. A classic single skinned range is also available at a very competitive price point. Superior operating lifting gear provides smooth operations and the doors are totally reliable, safe and low maintenance.
