Sliding Garage Doors as a description covers a multitude of options. The Rundum Meir and Vertico garage doors we offer are indeed sliding but are generally called round the corner garage doors. We can offer a vast range of sliding door options in either steel, timber or even GRP. The straight sliding action of a one piece door can also be doubled as a bi parting arrangement and can be fitted internally or externally (dependant on available wall space).
Many different tracking arrangements are possible depending on ground surface, weight of door panels and so on but with some careful though you can produce a very simple, easy to use sliding door system for long term use in either manual or electric mode.
One of the other main advantages of one piece sliding garage doors is the freedom of design it offers as there are generally no restrictions on thickness, weight or size of door panels used.

               

Folding garage doors present a different problem and need to be designed very carefully, especially the larger they get. We can supply folding garage doors in timber, steel and aluminium. The preferred method for operation is to hang all the weight of the door panels from the top track system as then the bottom guide tracks do not rely upon heavy duty T tracks or U channels in the floor which can be unreliable and difficult to incorporate into the floor without comprimises.
The picture above shows a Hormann FPU double skinned insulated steel folding door system with excellent sealing and insulation properties and also available up to some very large sizes.
