Everyone wants a beautiful garage door and today, thanks to new materials, designs, and technology, a modern garage door can indeed be a really stunning feature in any home.
However, there is a lot more to a modern garage door than just great looks.
“Applied modern technology underpins any modern garage door - and it’s not just about opening devices,” says Jon Watson, managing director of Garador. “Of course, being a leader in garage door manufacture, we offer the latest in automatic openers, with full control from smart hubs and phones, fingerprint technology, and so on. But modern technology goes a lot further than that.
“Take our unique Durabelt system, for instance, which we introduced for our popular GaraGlide roller garage doors. Built around a special belt made from microcellular polyurethane elastomer, Durabelt has been designed specifically to reduce marks and scratches on the surface of the curtain, helping to ensure a smooth operation and even more long-lasting protection for the door curtain. This may seem like a small detail, but it makes a significant difference.”
Jon says the company has also maintained its leadership in addressing modern concerns about security, insulation, and the environment.
“Garador now offers some of the most secure garage doors in the British domestic housing market,” says Jon. “We were among the very first garage door manufacturers to offer full Secured by Design accreditation. For our top-selling steel up-and-over doors, we offer a Guardian range providing especially high security.
“Insulation is key today, of course. A thermally insulated garage not only helps to keep items in the garage warm and dry, but it can help to lower overall heating bills as well. Our premium sectional garage doors have been designed with 42 mm thick double-skin steel sections filled with 100% CFC-free PU rigid foam to provide outstanding insulation with U-values down to 1.30 W/m²K.”
“Really, it is all about moving with the times,” says Jon. “Here at Garador, we have been manufacturing garage doors in Somerset for over 70 years, but to remain a leader, we know we have to keep ahead. Who would have thought, just a few years ago, that we would install 1,600 solar panels on our roof as part of our strategy to reduce carbon footprint and costs?
“As long as we continue to address change, I see no reason why Garador can’t remain the leading garage door manufacturer for many years and decades to come,” he added.
