Security shutters which were recently installed on a post office counter within a shop.
This was another challenging job but we ended up with a great result.
It was an installation of 4 roller doors at a large farm near Oswestry where a farm building was being converted into a more domestic garage.
Following the primary survey (see photo left) it was decided to plant large timbers onto the steel stanchions and the doors were fitted behind these.
The doors are Aluroll Irish Oak foil laminated roller doors with black box and guides. The timbers have been clad in black ash woodgrain UPVC
A gulley was created in the concrete to overcome a threshold that was not level. This then ensured a better weather seal on the bottom of the door.
To fix the box enclosures a timber fascia was built in front and this was also overclad in black ash woodgrain UPVC.
This fascia will help to prevent any potential wind rattle when strong winds off the Shropshire plane hit the doors.
As a mark of respect for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Arridge Garage Doors Ltd has made a decision to close on Monday 19th September 2022 for the state funeral.
We will re-open on Tuesday 20th September 2022 at 9am.
We apologise in advance for any inconveniences and disruptions caused.
Thank you for your understanding and your continued custom.
Whether you are looking to take advantage of the summer weather to replace your existing garage doors, or searching for the ideal garage doors for a new project, it is well worth considering the range of high quality sectional garage doors on offer from Alutech. Here are five good reasons to choose Alutech garage doors.
Alutech were founded in 1996 and now employ over 4,300 people. They currently sell to over 40 countries worldwide. UK operations are run from their dedicated 30,000 square foot premises located in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
Today, Alutech are one of the largest aluminium extruders in the world and have their own in-house powder coating and anodising facilities to ensure that their products are nothing other than exceptional.
When it comes to buying a garage door, there are many factors to consider. One that has become increasingly important is insulation, and this is an area where Alutech garage doors excel. With 45mm door thickness, all round soft rubber seals and a U-Value of 1.0 W/m2K, Alutech sectional doors are designed with thermal efficiency in mind and are currently the most insulated domestic garage doors available in the UK
Alutech sectional garage doors will keep your home warmer and maximise your energy efficiency, making them the perfect choice where warmth and energy efficiency are a priority.
Sectional garage doors are generally considered to be most secure option for you garage, and Alutech garage doors are a brand you can truly trust when it comes to security. The 40mm thick insulated steel panels lock solidly in place when the door closes, while the powerful Avanti T-Series 800nm motor resists force applied to the door which therefore makes it impossible to open. The mechanical design of the operator boom resists any external force applied in an attempt to open the door.
Alutech garage doors are also designed for maximum safety and comply with European Standard EN 13241-1, EN 12604, EN 12453, EN 12424, EN 12425, EN 12426. Safety features include a Torsion Spring mechanism on the double doors which is equipped with a fall-arrest system to stop the door from falling closed in the unlikely event of a spring breakage. Single doors, meanwhile, feature a double cable arrangement on each side of the door that acts as a similar fail-safe device.
When you buy an Alutech garage door, you are investing in a product that is made to last. The design incorporates several features to protect against corrosion, including plastic bases on the side legs to minimise the possibility of corrosion if the frame leg is exposed to water build up at the base of the door. The door is also fitted with a deep black rubber guard at the bottom. Each door also benefits from intermediate seals between each section and a deep rubber seal all round the perimeter of the door, built into the frame, while each panel is multi-coated for long-lasting protection against the elements.
The durable spring mechanism, meanwhile, is rated to 25,000 open/close cycles – equivalent to 17 years service based on 4 open/close cycles per day.

Doors can be finished in either a textured wood grain embossed surface or a more modern smooth finish. As well as 34 RAL colours, finish options include Wood Effect Golden Oak, Rosewood and Dark Oak.

I have received a vast quantity of enquiries where by customers are changing the use of their garage.
Over the last couple of months, we are hearing of customers with the need to use garage spaces for home gyms, play rooms or home offices. With these requirements customers are looking for quick access into the garage.
Insulation is often high up the requirements list when changing the garage door to accommodate new uses of the garage. As well as the ease of access mentioned above, there are several manufacturers that offer made to measure and standard sizes insulated side hinged doors.
Along with the benefits side hinged doors bring to a garage, they are also available in both traditional and modern styles. Examples of these can be found on our social media pages, and on the gallery section of our web page here – https://arridgegaragedoors.co.uk/gallery-of-completed-installations
One of my favourite upgrades is the steel D-Handle options, which can complement similar front door styles brilliantly.
Here are some examples:
