With garages being used for everything from storage to workshops and home gyms, it is no wonder that Garador’s range of side-hinged garage doors are becoming more and more popular. There are currently four different designs in the GRP side-hinged garage door range, available in standard and purpose-made sizes up to 2539mm wide. The GRP has been moulded to imitate vertical wooden boards for the Dorchester and Somerset, or Georgian panel pressings for the Kenmore and Arden. Plus, there’s a choice of 18 standard colours and a faithfully realistic woodgrain surface finish which imitates real wood. Homeowners can choose from fabulous wood stains, which include everything from darker shades like Antique Oak and Mahogany through to Chestnut and Light Oak. Garador’s Managing Director, Neil Discombe comments: “The new GRP range gives the impression of real wood, without all of the maintenance drawbacks that come with a timber garage door. “Garador’s side hinged garage doors offer easy access into the garage, and because they open outwards there is no loss of headroom space inside for tracks as with a traditional garage door, as Neil Discombe comments “Our GRP side hinged garage doors open outwards and they are great for garages that don’t have the space inside for garage doors with tracks or lifting gear that run back into the garage.” The GRP doors are built around a steel box section chassis for stability and come with weather strips around the three sides of the door to exclude draughts and winter weather. Security is enhanced by a shoot bolt latch at both the top and bottom of the doors, as well as a lockable handle.
