Roller Shutter Garage Doors

The roller shutter garage door has to be the neatest door solution available, with vertical opening and closing and no internal tracking mechanism in the garage at all. The whole door will usually roll into a size of about 300mm inside or outside the lintel position.

The entire roller garage door market for domestic applications is divided into two main types:

Single skin continuous steel curtain or
Double skin insulated aluminium curtain

New for 2007! The Seceuroglide Excel
The U.K.'s first police and insurance approved remote control garage door is a roller shutter. Click here for our feature.

Over the last five years the higher specification aluminium roller garage door has been reducing in price until now it is very favourable compared to the single skin steel roller garage door. This is only the case when comparing remote control garage doors however as the aluminium roller door is only available as electric operation.

All roller garage doors are made to fit your opening perfectly with no particular stock sizes available. The ideal installation is normally mounting the door internally to give the maximum width and height when open but a roller door can fit inbetween and even externally of your structural opening with an optional hood enclosure to protect the curtain whilst remaining visually appealing.

Applications

The roller garage door is the most versatile of doors as it can be manufactured to almost any size or colour.
As the roller garage door rises vertically this means it can be installed behind any shape of structural opening such as archways, etc. Another very useful application is when a garage has a particularly high ceiling
or when tracks into the garage would be running in front of a side door or similar obstruction.
There are very few applications when a roller door will not fit
and the only compromise is that the design of all the different
types is always horizontal lines. If vertical lines are required
due to planning restrictions or preference then why not consider
the excellent Vertico door, constructed from the same insulated
aluminium slats but operating sideways as a traditional round the corner garage door. Click here for details

Finishes and Colours

The single skin and insulated roller doors are available in a choice
of standard factory finished colours as standard and not available
to be painted on site. For an additional charge you can have almost
any RAL or BS colour as a powdercoat finish only to both sides of the
curtain. Guides, endplates and hoods can be matched or contrasted.
There are 12 standard Seceuroglide paint finishes.
More recently there are tough vinyl coated woodgrain finishes available specifically designed to match replacement windows and front entrance doors as well as giving an attractive maintenance free option to compliment many property styles.
Current woodgrain laminate finishes available are Golden Oak, Mahogany and Rosewood.

General Sizing Information

The domestic insulated aluminium roller door is available in sizes
up to 5400mm wide and 4000mm high although we can produce
many other types of heavier duty commercial roller shutters with
all the necessary safety devices for domestic use in sizes up to
12000mm wide and 8000mm high.
The only restriction that different sizes may impose is on the type
and colour of slat used to construct the door. Please call or email
your enquiry whatever the size as we have never refused any
enquiry to date.

The diagram below shows the typical installation position of a roller shutter door when installed inside the structural opening of the garage. When fitted like this the maximum width and height is normally achieved although a loss of garage length has to be considered.
Fitting Behind

Typical inside mounting of Seceuroglide roller shutter

The diagram below shows a roller shutter garage door fitted inbetween the structural opening and would normally mean fitting underneath the lintel as well. This position is quite normal but will not give such a wide drivethrough width or height when open.
Fitting Inbetween

The diagram below shows the roller door instaled outside on the front face of the garage opening. This is unusual but gives maximum length, width and height in most cases. A complete hood is required to protect the curtain roll and this will need powdercoating along with the guides and endplates to complete the visual appearance.
