Insulate and a little bit more!

There are many different types of garage door available to purchase. One of which, is Insulated roller doors. This is a fantastic door that will not only prevent heat loss from a garage but can also offer that little bit of extra kerb appeal to your property.
The insulated roller garage doors are a high performance garage door manufactured from aluminium foam filled laths designed to provide thermal and acoustic insulation together with security.
Insulated roller doors are supplied with the benefit of being automatic as standard. With one press of a remote control the door curtain opens vertically into a neat roll with next to no sound at all.
Optional Extras
External Manual Release
The electric roller garage door is supplied with an internal manual release as standard, so that providing there is another entrance into the garage space, you can override the system and open the door if there is a temporary power failure. If there is no alternative access point then an external manual release may want to be considered. This is a key operated system that is designed to sit on the outside of the opening. When the key is placed into the barrel and turned, this allows you to pull the barrel which is connected to the release via a cord. This is for temporary use and once the power has returned the motor will once again take charge of opening and closing the door.
Battery Backup
The battery backup offers more convenience than the external manual release. It works so that in the event of a power failure, you can continue to use your door with the remote control. The battery backup will automatically work when the power stops.
Vision Slats
Allow natural light into your garage space by adding vision slats to your door. This gives a modern twist to the door finish you have chosen. You can have as many vision laths as you require.
Full or Half Box
The insulated roller door can be mounted several ways. On the internal face is the most popular choice as this allows the full drive through width of the opening to be used.
If there is no side room available, then the door can be housed between the openings. A half box will be required as a minimum to conceal the door curtain and protect the mechanism and motor from the elements. Between 140-180mm of opening drive through width will be lost to allow for the guides.
Another option if you did not have any side room nor want to lost any drive through width, is to externally mount the door roll. A full box will be required to house the roll.
The full box is also used for cosmetic purposes to hide the door roll neatly,
Keypad
Two remote controls are supplied with this door as standard, allowing the owner complete ease and convenience, when they need to open and close their door. This can be done all from the comfort of their vehicle.
An alternative and secure option to allow access to the garage is a wireless keypad. The keypad is externally mounted and allows access on entering a code into the system. Entry will be given to anyone who has been given the code. This is particularly useful for an entry point used by many people. Rather than many individuals having remote controls each, the keypad is stationery and always available to use.
Anti vandal keypads are also available, which have a harder wearing control panel.
