Cardale Gemini Steel Side Hinged

Pair of Cardale Steel Side Hinged Garage Doors installed in Syresham, near Brackley, Northants

This beautiful pair of ‘Gemini’ steel side hinged garage doors were installed in Syresham, near Brackley, just last week.

The customer chose Light Ivory and the doors are fully finished and come with a ten year exterior guarantee.  The frames are finished in Cherry Wood, however we used Rosewood trim around the doors to match the windows and doors on the customers property.

The doors come with a centre overlap to help prevent forced entry and reduce draughts, four pairs of dog bolt security hinges, high security Euro profile mortice lock with twin shoot bolts top and bottom for added security and door stays to prevent the door opening further than 110 degrees.

Cardale Novoferm Steel Georgian Garage Door in Dusty Grey with Air Vents, installed in Chedworth, Gloucs

Our customer was looking for a new up and over garage door but due to the garage being rather damp and musty they wanted air vents to be installed.

Whilst we could have cut a hole and popped an air vent in place we wanted a more professional look for our customer.

We spoke with the manufacturer Cardale who happily agreed to cut the holes and insert the vents at the beginning of production.  The customer had chosen the colour Dusty Grey (RAL 7037) and once the vents were in place the door was sent through the paint line, ensuring the vents colour matched the door.

We think the door looks stunning and is a perfect example of how we can adapt your door to fit your needs.  If you want something but can’t find it in our brochures do give us a call, we and Cardale will do all we can to ensure you get the door you want.

Garage doors love Christmas too!

Decorate your garage door this Christmas

One of the main reasons I married Mr Elite GD is that he loves Christmas lights almost as much as I do!  This morning my Facebook ‘memories’ displayed the above picture.  Taken four years ago, it shows our Christmas lights adorning our old Cardale Chelsea GRP garage door.  (Our shiny new roller door was installed on my Birthday, I can’t wait to see what’s under the tree for me this year!).

Hopefully this weekend Mr EliteGD will spend a day swearing and de-tangling lights before our own little ‘Christmas lights switch on’ and our house lights up the street.  Our neighbours love it!  Aherm….

So for a little inspiration I thought I would Google ‘christmas garage doors’ and below is a selection of the brilliant ideas I found!  I also discovered the Garage Door Décor website, based in the US, they specialise in whole door, full size murals to really get your home in the Christmas spirit.  Here in the UK you can buy magnetic decorations from Amazon at a fraction of the price.

We would love to see your pictures of your Christmassy garage doors!  Tweet us or post them to our Facebook page.

Merry Christmas! Ho! Ho! Ho!
