Door Industry Journal - Spring 2014

Yes they are made from 40mm thick double skin foam filled panels and yes, they have a mitred hollow section aluminium frame, which is undoubtedly special, but it’s the details in the door that make it reliable for the long term and a pleasure in use. The stays (provided on all door leaves over 780mm wide) are a great example of quality engineering in every element. The stays’ spring dampened action holds the door leaf open and reduces stresses to the door and hinges, improving door lifespan. The slick de-latch motion that releases the door without the need for a pull cord means the units are as neat as the rest of the door.

Mark Finch of Garage Door installations was quick to instruct Woodrite for the traditional style, brick built houses at Wimbledon Hill Park, a prestige site of 8 houses on sale for between £6m and £9m. The door design for the job was the Woodrite Buckingham Cedar Coleshill, finished in white inside and out including the bracing and with 90mm timber frames. The special feature of these doors was the size - at 5.5m wide and 2.7m high with toughened glass windows, these doors were heavy and, because the garages have suspended ceilings, fixing had to be made with specially fabricated side wall brackets. Well done to Mark and his team for their sterling work on the installation and their professionalism in securing the contract! “We always like to support our garage door specialist customers and bespoke designs or design tweaks like this are just the sort of thing that makes us the first company to contact for wooden garage doors!” said Sharon Cleaver, Woodrite’s Sales Director. For details of Woodrite’s garage doors call 01280 841010 or email to enquiries@woodritedoors.co.uk. OAK BY THE DOZEN! A dozen styles in a dozen finishes. Simple, yet stunning. The Monmouth Oak range of garage doors from Woodrite, extended at the end of 2013, is attracting consumer interest. Available as both single and double doors up to 16’ / 4877mm wide and built with oak mouldings and oak face exterior grade ply, the doors are stable and reliable in use. Matched oak frames complete the package. “After trialling the range with just 4 styles we knew the product had wide interest, so adding the extra styles and finishes has increased the appeal” commented Sharon Cleaver, Woodrite’s Sales Director.
