The roller shutter garage door has to be one of the neatest garage door solutions available, with vertical opening and closing and no internal tracking mechanism in the garage at all. The whole door will usually roll into a size of about 300 x 300mm in a position behind, underneath or in front of the garage lintel. 

Picture to the left shows an insulated roller shutter garage door rolled up internally without a hood cover installed.

All roller garage doors for domestic applications can be divided into two main types:

Single skin uninsulated steel curtain

Double skin insulated aluminium curtain


Over the last 10 or so years the higher specification double skin aluminium roller garage door has been reducing in price until now it is very favourable compared to the single skin steel roller garage door. This is only the case when comparing remote control garage doors however as the aluminium roller door is only available as electric operation.

All roller garage doors are made to fit your opening perfectly with no particular stock sizes available. The ideal installation is normally mounting the door internally to give the maximum width and height when open but a roller door can fit inbetween and even externally of your structural opening with an optional hood enclosure to protect the curtain whilst remaining visually appealing.
 


Parked right up to the garage door and still able to operate.

No outward swing at all.

Ideal for driveways with little or limited space.

Open and close the garage door at the push of a button.

Rubber seal to the bottom of the curtain to prevent dust, leaves, mice, etc. entering the garage.

Excellent security offered by the design of the door itself.





Applications

The roller garage door is the most versatile of doors as it can be manufactured to almost any size or colour (certain slat types only).
As the roller garage door rises vertically this means it can be installed behind any shape of structural opening such as archways, etc. Another very useful application is when a garage has a particularly high ceiling or when tracks into the garage would be running in front of a side door or similar obstruction.


Inside a large garage with Seceuroglide roller doors, when fitted with the optional cover hoods creates a very neat and tidy application.

There are very few applications when a roller door will not fit and the only compromise is that the design of all the different types is always going to be horizontal lines.


If vertical lines are required due to certain planning restrictions or visual preference then why not consider the excellent Vertico round the corner garage door. Constructed from the same insulated aluminium slats as the Seceuroglide but operating sideways as a traditional round the corner garage door. Click here for details

Ideal for arched garage openings to maximise drivethrough height

When fitted onto double, triple or more garages a multi channel remote
control system can be used for ease of use.

The remote controls use the very latest rolling code  technology for security. your garage door can only be operated by your transmitter.

 

Finishes and Colours

The single skin and insulated roller doors are available in a choice of standard factory finished colours as standard and not available to be painted on site. For an additional charge you can have almost any RAL or BS colour as a powdercoat finish only to both sides of the curtain. Guides, endplates and hoods can be matched or contrasted.
There are 12 standard Seceuroglide paint finishes.
More recently there are tough vinyl coated woodgrain finishes available specifically designed to match replacement windows and front entrance doors as well as giving an attractive maintenance free option to compliment many property styles.
Current woodgrain laminate finishes available are Golden Oak, Mahogany and Rosewood. however we have a whole extra range of woodgrain colours available from Summer 2008

General Sizing Information

The domestic insulated aluminium roller door is available in sizes up to 5400mm wide and 4000mm high although we can produce many other types of heavier duty commercial roller shutters with all the necessary safety devices for domestic use in sizes up to 12000mm wide and 8000mm high.
The only restriction that different sizes may impose is on the type and colour of slat used to construct the door. Please call or email your enquiry whatever the size as we have never refused any enquiry to date.

Security

Most roller shutter doors are fairly secure as standard with manual versions having sliding bars internally locking into the side channels and remote control doors using various different locking devices held from the barrel that the curtain is attached to.

The diagram below shows the typical installation position of a roller shutter door when installed inside the structural opening of the garage. When fitted like this the maximum width and height is normally achieved although a loss of garage length has to be considered.

                               Fitting Behind the opening

The diagram below shows a roller shutter garage door fitted inbetween the structural opening and would normally mean fitting underneath the lintel as well. This position is quite normal but will not give such a wide drivethrough width or height when open.

                             Fitting Inbetween the opening

The diagram below shows the roller garage door installed outside on the front face of the garage opening. This is unusual but gives maximum length, width and height in most cases. A complete hood is required to protect the curtain roll and this will need powdercoating along with the guides and endplates to complete the visual appearance.
