ABS Side Hinged Garage Door in Banbury

ABS Side Hinged Garage Door installed in Banbury, Oxfordshire

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.

What’s behind your garage door?

A simple guide to choosing a garage door to suit your needs

lag-garage

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.

 

 

In and out like the hokey cokey?

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.

Working up a sweat or just working?

garage gymDo 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’!

 

Hoarder or collector of interesting artefacts?

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!

 Love the luxuries in life?

Integrated LED LightingThen 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.

Supersize me!

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.
