Our customer chose ABS side hinged garage doors with a steel fixing frame when his garage needed an upgrade.
The ABS material is impact resistant and the perfect match to complement white PVCu windows and doors. Virtually maintenance free, the material itself is very forgiving against knocks from car bumps and footballs, giving it that ‘bounce-back’ ability. ABS is available as both up & over and side hinged garage doors.
Our customer then chose the Bedford. Originally designed to mimic the appearance of traditional timber doors, these doors have standard black glazing but there are other window options available should you wish to bring some light into your garage.
The steel fixing frame means all the old timber is removed, so no worry of it rotting. The frame and door come with a ten year manufacturer warranty from Cardale.
Door Specification:
This gorgeous pastel blue garage door was installed in Wantage, Oxon and has really improved the look of the room, a stunning transformation!
The up and over garage door is on retractable lifting gear. We added a Novomatic 553 motor to complete the door and enable easy operation at the touch of a button.
The garage door also comes complete with steel fixing frame, fully finished in white.
The powder coat finish of the door and frame come with a manufacturer ‘Exterior Guarantee’, so no need to be sanding and repainting, the garage door is virtually maintenance free and will need just a wipe down with a soft damp cloth to keep it looking good.
Door Specification:
What’s behind your garage door? I wish I could say an Aston Martin but unfortunately, like most home owners, the contents of my garage are far less glamorous.
What you use your garage for, what you keep inside and how you access it are important points to consider when choosing your new garage door.
Are you popping into your garage a lot? Does it house your lawnmower? The kids bikes? Maybe the tumble dryer? The answer for you could be a 70/30 side hinged garage door. With pedestrian access, these doors are perfect for when you want to pop in the garage without having to open the entire space.
Do you have visions of converting your garage to a home gym? Maybe it acts as a workshop or business space? Then an insulated roller or sectional garage door could be the answer. They provide a much tighter seal around the opening than your standard up & over and the CFC-Free foam core provides excellent heat insulation, keeping the cold out and the warm in. The insulation also acts as a sound proof so if you are working out your neighbours are less likely to hear you grunt as you ‘feel the burn’!
Perhaps your garage stores all your worldly goods and you are concerned about security? A Secured by Design up and over garage door comes with additional heavy duty strengthening ribs, heavy duty springs, secure locking brackets and a reinforced locking barrel which includes a key to lock and unlock from inside your garage. Perfect if you are especially worried about security!
Then an automated door is for you! Imagine driving home, in the pouring rain, pressing a button and sailing into your warm dry garage! No stopping, no getting out, no wrestling with the lock. A simple luxury but oh so gratifying! Roller and sectional doors often come fully automated but you can also add a motor to your existing up and over and side hinged garage door. Contact a specialist for advice.
Many of us now have larger than average vehicles, we love a 4×4 or an SUV and our poor old garage just can’t accommodate! If you’re looking to increase drive through width and height then consider a roller door which fits behind the brickwork. Assuming you have the head room required for the roll box, maximum drive through width and height can be achieved.
This option is not just for larger vehicle owners. Standard size saloon cars can struggle. One customer, after purchasing a new car, needed to fold the wing mirrors in to drive into her garage. The solution was to fit an up and over door behind the brickwork, read more in their blog post.
Looking for the ‘wow’ factor?For a simply stunning makeover to your home consider a matching front door and garage door. With over 24 colours to choose from, numerous designs and glazing and hardware options, you can reinvent the look of your home by simply upgrading your external doors.
Then the Cardale Merlin is perfect for you! With prices starting from just £475 fully fitted, this canopy up and over garage door provides you with functionality at an affordable price. Quality is not comprised as you will receive the same ten year warranty which comes with all Cardale garage doors.
However you use your garage, whatever your budget, there is a garage door perfect for you. The range of designs, materials and finish is larger than it has ever been before. Consult with a garage door specialist to find the perfect solution for you and your home.
We met our customer at the Cotswold’s Moreton in Marsh Country Show last September. They were seeking new side hinged doors to replace their old barn style doors on their property in Broadway, Worcestershire.
The Cardale Steel Side Hinged range provides a choice of 15 designs and 24 colours. The benefit of steel over timber is that these doors won’t rot. They are virtually maintenance free, needing simply a wipe down with a soft cloth, no more sanding and painting every couple of years! The garage doors have a powder coat paint finish which comes with a 10 year exterior guarantee.
As Broadway’s local distributor for Cardale and Novoferm garage doors, we receive preferential pricing on the Gemini and Georgian design doors. Our customer chose the Gemini design, with vertical ribs. They also chose a 70/30 split door as opposed to 50/50. The two thirds/one third side hinged garage door was designed with lawnmowers in mind and gives you the option of just opening the smaller door to access garden equipment, bicycles etc. Our customer chose right hand opening, which is standard, but we also offer left hand opening if preferred.
Chose a 50/50 split door and we can add a motor to your side hinged door so it opens automatically at the push of a remote control button.
In addition to the easy maintenance and practicality of steel side hinged doors, you can be assured they are secure.
The centre overlap helps prevent forced entry and reduce draughts. Each door comes with four pairs of dog bolt security hinges and a high security Euro profile mortice lock. Twin shoot bolts are added top and bottom for additional security.
Doors open outwards only and door stays are also fitted as standard to prevent the door opening further than 110 degrees
The garage doors pictured here are fully finished in black and give this Broadway property a welcome face lift. Not keen on the painted finish? Our steel side hinged doors can also be produced in laminated Golden Oak or Rosewood, perfect to match in with the increasingly popular uPVC windows which many of our customers have installed.
We work throughout Worcestershire and the Cotswolds, installing and repairing garage doors. For your free no obligation quotation, simply fill in the form to the right or give us a call.
We were contacted last year by a customer in Warwickshire who was looking to update their garage doors.
They wanted the main door to be automated but with a wicket door to provide pedestrian access. They also needed a smaller pedestrian access door to the side.
The customer chose the Novoferm iso45 Flush design in Smooth Woodgrain Golden Oak for the main door. The door opens vertically into the garage and with no ‘kick out’ as it moves. It is double-skinned and fully insulated. Sectional doors are comprised of individual sections connected together by hinges. All sections are manufactured from hot galvanized thin steel sheet and provided with a polyester-based pre-finished coat or, in the case of Golden Oak, a durable foil finished coating.
Angular frames, guide rails as well as all fitting parts on the garage door are also galvanised so that no rust can start to form. The flexible lip seals between the sections fit softly even at low temperatures and prevent any heat losses and dust from penetrating. A rubber profile on the bottom edge of the garage door guarantees optimum protection from water and dirt, evens out slight floor unevenness and prevents damage and injuries. The floor seal is made of high-quality EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), which is known for its high elasticity, weather resistance and long life-span.
The addition of a wicket door to your sectional door offers a practical passage width of 80cm and provides perfect heat insulation due to the double-skinned insulation used.
The customer wanted the door automated so we fitted the Novomatic 553 which comes with automatic safety features and will stop and reverse the door operation, when it senses an obstruction, making a safely automated door. We also added a Wireless Key Pad so the customer doesn’t need to use a remote control, they can just tap in their numerical code and the door will open.
Unfortunately the space for the personnel door was too small to accommodate the matching equivalent and so the customer chose the Cardale Gemini steel personnel door, again in fully finished Golden Oak. Personnel doors come with secure Euro profile night latch and deadlock and four anti-drop anchored bolt hinges.
These sectional and personnel garage doors were installed near Shipston on Stour in Warwickshire. The doors come with a ten year manufacturer warranty and the motor with a five year warranty.
Our two thirds/one third side hinged doors always prove to be a popular choice with our customers and in this case, our customer’s cat is happy too!
Side hinged doors are ideal when obstructions are in the garage preventing the installation of an up & over, sectional or roller door. The two thirds/one third split allows pedestrian access without needing to open the entire door, this is particularly useful for the 62%* of us who no longer use our garage to keep our car in!
This particular customer also wanted us to install a cat flap and this design suits the job perfectly with it fitting neatly in the square.
The installation of a cat flap is not just limited to this door, it can be accommodated in a variety of designs and styles and can be installed from as little as £90.
To find out more about our side hinged range or installing a cat flap to your new door give us a call on 01295 272370.
