Garador is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of garage doors. They are responsible for a massive number of garage door products that have been installed around the country. They produce up and over garage doors, side hinged garage doors, and sectional doors, however the main focus of this article is on their roller door products. Their roller door product line is marketed under the name of gararoll, and it offers numerous features that many find desirable.

The garage door is a diverse item that you can buy, and a roller door is just one variety of door. The door is a highly engineered product, and as such there are numerous components that are used in its construction. Not all of the components that you find in one model will be found in all others as well, as with some of them they make different choices regarding how secure the door is, and how reliable it will be. The basic model of a roller door consists of a few main components: a curtain made from metals slats that interlock together to make the main body of the door, a roller assembly that is connected to the top of the curtain and rolls around in order to draw in the curtain and wrap the curtain around the assembly, and a frame that has guides for the curtain to be fixed correctly into the aperture. The main reason why many opt to get a roller door as opposed to other varieties of garage door is because they reduce the amount of space required for their installation. Where other doors have significant demands on head space, a roller door can make do with roughly a foot in diameter above  the aperture on the inside of your garage, and the opening of the door also uses up zero space available in your driveway, unlike with an up and over door, for example.

The garador roller door follows the same fundamental structure as other roller garage doors, with a curtain, roller assembly and frame, but it also has a number of other worthwhile features that you will be pleased with. The first of these is the insulation that the door provides. In between the slats that make up the curtain of the door are rubber sealants that make sure that the door doesn’t allow a draft to come through. The slats are also made with extra thickness than bare-boned models of roller doors in order to accommodate the foam-based thermal insulation. This is a valuable addition to any door, helping to save money in heating costs, while also making starting your car during the winter period a faster and more convenient experience overall.

The second of these is that the garador roller door comes with an automatic feature as a standard. This requires the addition of an electric motor that is attached on one end of the roller assembly. The electric motor drives the rotational force required for the roller assembly to draw the curtain in and wrap it around the roller assembly. The operational mechanism for this automated garage can come in a variety of forms, and often multiple mechanisms are incorporated into use. The most useful variety is undoubtedly a remote control box that can be mounted in any number of placed on your property, but also in a vehicle. Many use these in order to open the door while remaining in their car in order to make the process of entering and leaving the garage a quicker process. You can also get secondary operating mechanisms placed within the garage that are hard wired if you want to get additional peace of mind.

Another way that garador roller doors meet the needs of their customers is with the various options for altering the face of the door in order to meet design specifications. They offer decopaint finishes as a standard for all models of garage door, which has the advantage of being both cheap and long-lasting. For an added flair, you can also choose to utilise a timber finish, that offers the appearance of a timber based material but with all of the advantages and low cost of a metallic door. Regarding this, you have the option of using a paint based finish to achieve this affect or you can use the laminate option for an even more realistic finish on the door. The advantage of the former is lower cost, whereas the latter costs a little more but the effect will stand up better to scrutiny.
