The new package has been designed to be at a really affordable price point and includes a range of sizes and colours plus a full automatic opening system and electric operator, all as standard. With all the best elements and ease of an automated sectional garage door, Garador’s Autodor is already ticking the boxes for many customers. It offers a realistic alternative to traditional up & overs, providing a quality well designed sectional garage door but without the price tag. “Garador developed Autodor based on extensive research of the current market,” said Garador’s Managing Director Neil Discombe. “Convenience and price came high on the list. “Unlike most sectional garage doors on the market, where you purchase the door and operator as two separate items, the Autodor is supplied as one complete package. With a high quality design and the lower price point, the Autodor is filling a real niche in the market,” he added. Neil continued: “As an example, when you compare the Autodor to a typical Garador Linear Large Premium sectional garage door that is purchased with an operator, there is a potential saving of over 30% on the list price.” The door retains 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. The Autodor is available in standard sizes, with a selection of 27 to choose from which range from 2134mm x 2000mm all the way up to 5000mm x 2500mm. This offers a hierarchy of different door sizes that will suit both single and double garages of varying widths and heights. The Autodor offers all the advantages of traditional sectional garage doors. Rising vertically up and along tracks which run back into the garage means there is no loss of driveway space in front of the garage door. There is also maximum width for vehicles driving in and out of the garage. New colours and surface finishes The Autodor comes in either a Linear Medium or Linear Large door design, both of which have 42mm insulated door sections filled with PU-foam. There are 9 colours for each door design: • Linear Medium (6 Woodgrain surface finish colours and 3 Decocolors). • Linear Large (6 Planar surface finish colours and 3 Decocolors).
