When Garador started manufacturing garage doors over 75 years ago, cars were small, and garages were of a standard size. Today, with cars coming in a vast range of sizes and the use of garages changing, demand for differentsized garage doors is increasing. Top-of-the-range developers build larger garages for discerning customers; individual homeowners may be looking to renovate a specifically sized garage; standardsized doors simply don’t address modern needs. British garage door manufacturer Garador is recognised as one of the leading companies that offer a full range of different-sized garage doors. Most of these doors don’t carry any surcharge for specialist sizing, they are part of Garador’s extensive standard garage door collection and with widths right up to 5500mm and over, it means sourcing a garage door for a specific development or build has never been easier. As a general rule of thumb, the dimensions of a standard single garage door used to be considered to be 2,134mm x 2,134mm and a double door 4,267mm x 2,136mm, but today really, there is no average size as housing and requirements change. Instead, Garador offers a massive choice of heights and widths for its garage doors. A good example of its flexibility in sizing is the number of different dimensions available on its top-selling steel panel up and over the Carlton door. This popular door is available in an astonishing selection of 57 standard single-door sizes, from 1984mm x 1830mm right up to 3049mm x 2136mm. Standard double-door sizes also come in an extensive range, up to 4879mm x 2136mm. At slightly more cost, purpose-built Carlton range doors can be built right up to 5000mm x 2136mm. And this is just for the traditionally popular Carlton design. Doors from other ranges are available with an even greater selection; for instance, a standard door in Garador’s linear up-and-over range goes right up to 5500 x2250, or you move up to the fabulous looking GaraRoll timber effect roller doors, and they can go right up to 6162mm width. “With our manufacturing factory and head office right here in the UK, we pride ourselves on being able to supply the best and most cost-effective solutions for the widest range of requirements,” said Garador’s managing director Jon Watson. “Today, people expect choice as well as cost-effective products, and here at Garador, we can certainly offer this,” he added.
