Control your roller garage door from your smartphone!
What is a ‘Smart’ garage door? In its basic specification it will generally be an electrically operated, aluminium, foam-filled and double-skinned roller door that uses a control panel and receiver system connected via a smart home system. This is connected to a broadband router in your home. This will then enable the use of a free app on your smartphone or tablet to control the roller door from anywhere in the world.

Smart Roller Garage Doors
Smart Roller Garage Doors
The simple download of the free Somfy app to your smartphone or even tablet allows you to operate and check on the status of your door, from anywhere in the world! Smart technology for your roller garage door.
Once you have smart integration to your roller garage door, utilising in this example the Somfy Tahoma Switch system, you now open up a whole world of possibilities. Integrate lighting, smart cameras, security sensors, ensure your door is closed and secure, open your roller door partially for a delivery, connect to other products such as blinds, awnings, and gates… the possibilities are endless!
Every electric roller garage door we sell is made to measure as standard to the millimetre, and either fits behind, in-between or in front of the brickwork garage opening. Most roller doors will usually fit to the inside face of the brickwork to maximise the garage opening, neatly hiding all guides and other working parts from the outside. For an inbetween fit you will need quite a high lintel as you will lose around 350mm of headroom with the curtain roll and endplates. For an external fit you just need to make sure you have the full hood cover and other aspects for security purposes specified correctly.
Price
Expect to pay between £2,400 and £3,000 inc. VAT installed Includes excellent choice of colour finishes.
We would be specifying either a SWS Seceuroglide or Hormann roller doors at this price range as they are tried and tested for many years. The Hormann smart system however is a different system to Somfy.
EXTRAS: Full hood covers, trimming around the door frame, additional weather seals on the floor and upgrades on the guides and security
The single width size is generally between about 2.2m and 2.6m on a standard UK size double width garage. These doors are made to measure as standard on the width and the height with a standard height being around 2.2m in the UK.

COLOURS AND FINISHES
For this price example we are using one of the standard 16 solid colour options available.
There are several woodgrain laminate foil options also available at a small surcharge along with options to match specific special colour ranges and also a wider range of Renolit laminate foil finishes. You certainly will find a colour to work within the range offered on our aluminium roller doors.
SECURITY
This is one of the biggest misunderstood areas for a roller garage door as in effect all roller doors simply act like a drawbridge and open and close using gravity. When a roller door is closed what actually holds it closed if someone decided to try and lift it? The answer is on most roller doors there is nothing really at all!! Most of the aluminium roller doors we offer have a locking system built onto the barrel which lifts the curtain and a system will hold the curtain closed against attempted force. The Seceuroglide Classic and Excel both use a patented steel tooth system for holding the curtain firmly in place and the Excel version has a certification to prove its worthiness.
EASE OF USE
With the standard electric operator option all you have to do is press a button either on one of the 2 hand transmitters supplied or the wall mounted control station which sits inside your garage with a built in courtesy light also built in. If there is a power cut then you have to enter the garage by another door and release the motor drive to operate the door manually which will be quite effortless. If there is no other access then there is a release mechanism which is attached to the handle or drilled into the panel as a key release mechanism with cable attachment.
OUR VIEW: from 35 years of experience...
We believe that it makes sense to future-proof not only your electric garage door, but also various other products around your home with 21st century technology.
The Somfy Tahoma Switch and Somfy products generally are tried and tested and certainly very affordable. Take some time to look at what is possible with just starting out with the Tahoma Switch because the roller door control would be only one small part of what is possible.

We do advise that if you are looking to buy an electric roller garage door of any kind, and also require insulating properties and the aluminium curtain,be sure to conduct thorough research! All roller doors really do look the same in pictures.
NOTE: Be sure to do your resarch on roller garage doors!
A good roller door will have been tested over many years and all the issues ironed out. A good electric roller garage door will have a genuine 5 year minimum guarantee and certification for compliance and quality with some also achieving security ratings too.
With ‘smart’ technology integration, you want hardware and software which is well supported and by a company of considerable experience and stature. Somfy have been established for many years, and innovators in the world of ‘roller’ shutter products.
We have been selling roller shutter garage doors for over 35 years now and if you definitely want a roller door then you are best to do some serious homework, because on the face of it they all look the same, but they really are not. Manufactured from many individual components, many of which connect to each other and move with each other, any inferior parts will manifest in a non functioning door very quickly. The motor drive on a tubular motor driven roller door for a start cannot be seen along with the internal barrel and anti fall back device so how do you know if it is any good?
The aluminium foam filled curtains vary massively in quality and strength and are of course the main comment seen on the door, so any inferior curtain will look second hand within months, often with paint damage and curtain connections not aligned properly.
