Garador Garage Doors

Garador are one of Britain's oldest garage door manufacturers. They began as Westland Engineers, Yeovil, Somerset as part of the Westland Helicopter Group. Approximately 4 years ago they were bought out by the big German garage door manufacturer Hormann.

Although trading as a separate entity to Hormann the Garador range of doors work on Hormann lifting gear which is of very high quality. Also, the Garador Remote Controls are Hormann products branded as Garador products. The Garamatic 7 is in fact the Hormann Promatic and the Garador 10 is the Hormann Supramatic.

Garador offer a very wide range of powder coated steel doors in a wide range of standard sizes. Unlike Hormann they also offer certain popular styles of door made to measure from 1830mm wide up to 5000mm wide. Unlike most of their competitors Garador make a range of powder coated steel side hinged garage doors in white or various standard colours. They are available in standard sizes or made to measure. The side hinged doors come with a pre-installed steel fixing frame and door hardware making the door installation quick and easy.

Garador offer a range of GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) doors in Ebony, Matt White Woodgrain, Dark Mahogany, Cherry Oak, Mahogany, Honey, Golden Brown, Dark Oak and White Gloss. These doors can come with windows as an option at extra cost. From mid 2009 the Garador GRP range are manufactured at Wessex Garage Doors. Their GRP doors are constructed by means of a powder coated steel chassis frame with a GRP infill panel.

Garador also manufacture timber garage doors in cedarwood.

One of Garadors most popular doors today is their sectional and insulated sectional garage door. Available in single skin non-insulated, 20mm and 42mm thick foam filled.
