Garador White GRP Garage Doors
Garador GRP garage doors come in high Gloss White. Garador GRP doors are maintenance free and hard wearing. Available in standard and made to measure sizes. Can be fitted on a steel or timber goalpost frame. Garador Fibreglass (GRP) garage doors are made in the same way as Hormann Fibreglass (GRP) doors i.e. strong steel chassis with a one-piece GRP door skin bonded to it. This makes the door strong and stable. The deep panel detail, created by means of detailed moulds, gives the door attractive lines and with a high quality appearance. The steel chassis is only visible from the front by means of a 10mm white powdercoated steel edge. Available with Garador's canopy or retractable lifting gear and with a pre-installed steel fixing frame, on request. Numerous glazing options including clear, tinted, smoked, square leaded, diamond leaded etc. Please ask. Like the Hormann door, the door skin is manufactured by Wessex doors.

Garador Standard and Premium quality explained.
Garador Standard quality GRP garage door.
The slightly hairy rear face of any glass fibre item (remember the inside of the old canoes) when studied closely reveals the thousands of glass strands set into the resin. This is the Standard door finish, acceptable as the finish to a garage door, however some customers do upgrade to the Premier quality.

This smooth white flow coat adds some strength, allows the back of the door to be easily wiped down and reduces translucency to light.Up and over mechanism types available on Garador GRP doors.
