Insulated Steel Side Hinged Garage Doors

There are many reasons for installing insulated garage doors and the side hinged type would offer you the very best in convenience if you were using the garage as a workshop, office, gym, playroom or some other use. Being able to open and close one leaf only but once closed maintain excellent insulation levels as well as security would be ideal and the doors are fully sealed all around the sides and top with the integral sub frame system used.For the very best in panel strength, security and insulation look no further than the superb insulated steel side hinged garage door range from market leaders Carteck (or Teckentrup in Germany).

Carteck are not usually known for hinged doors but more for their superb sectional garage door range, the door panels used for the side hinged doors are derived from the insulated double skinned steel panels of the sectional garage doors. In Germany the Teckentrup manufacturing plant produce many different types of side hinged doors and the Carteck side hinged range has been developed specifically for the UK garage market.

Why Insulated Side Hinged?
Most customers buying side hinged garage doors do so as they use their garage for other purposes other than storing a car and this can be as a workshop, games room, gym, office or simple a store for bikes and all the other daily items we tend to have. Access to these items may be frequent and many times the garage has direct access to the main house from an internal door so security is very important as well as the benefits of high levels of insulation.

Design Choices
The Carteck side hinged doors are available in 8 different panel designs with each design having options available for a woodgrain embossed surface, stucco or micrograin surface finish for the finer details of visual appearance.

All designs can have a 50/50 or 1/3rd and 2/3rd option to offer a smaller pedestrian door for easier access, the only one that cannot be offered is the Georgian design with the taller, vertical panels as the design is restrictive.

Solid 40mm Thick Panels
The Carteck side hinged doors are constructed from 40mm thick interlocking foam filled steel panels that also provide excellent sound reduction.

The mitred door leaf and door frame are finished in a matching finish from white, Trend and RAL colours as well as woodgrain effect laminate finishes. The door panels are always RAL9002 off white to the inside face for maximum light enhancement and practical purposes.

The inside face of the door panels are also very easy to keep clean and have no unsightly bracing bars and locking mechanisms.

Fixing Frame
All these side hinged doors are factory fitted with a fully finished aluminium fixing sub frame to make installation easy and precise.

The doors are all made to order to ensure a perfect fit and maximise the width and height of your garage opening

The frame is finished in the same colour as the door panel colour chosen and in the case of the laminate woodgrain panels a complimentary RAL colour is used for the framework.
