Carteck Solid – The Modern Minimalist
The Carteck Solid sectional door offers a flat, plank-style appearance without visible ribbing, delivering a clean, minimalist aesthetic that complements various types of property. This simple, unfussy styling aligns perfectly with contemporary architecture, allowing other features like cladding or glazing to take centre stage. As part of the premium CarTeck insulated range by Teckentrup, it combines this modern look with proven German engineering, energy-saving insulation, and smooth vertical operation to deliver reliable performance for everyday family life.
Teckentrup CarTeck Brand and Manufacturing Quality
Built by Teckentrup, a leader in door technology, every Carteck-branded door benefits from proven German engineering and high-quality hardware. The Solid model utilizes the same premium double-skinned steel panel structure as the rest of the CarTeck range. Teckentrup's engineering ensures that the large, flat panels remain dimensionally stable and durable. The insulated steel panels feature a durable multi-layer coating system designed to withstand demanding UK weather conditions while maintaining a pristine appearance.
Design and Panel Construction
By removing the ribbing, the Solid door creates a smooth, uninterrupted surface across the entire opening. This "canvas" effect allows the door to either recede quietly into a modern façade or act as a bold block of colour. The robust construction ensures the panels remain flat and true, while factory-engineered joints maintain the clean lines during operation. In the smooth surface finish this door looks absolutely stunning especially in contemporary colour finishes.
Construction and Insulation Performance
The 40mm thick insulated panels provide excellent thermal performance, keeping your garage warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Double-skinned steel panels filled with high-density polyurethane foam significantly reduce heat loss. This thermal performance helps stabilise temperatures within integral or attached garages, reducing cold draughts into adjacent rooms and protecting stored items from extreme conditions. High-quality perimeter seals around the entire frame and quality joints between sections further enhance energy efficiency while keeping out dust, insects, and wind-blown debris. This is particularly beneficial if you use your garage as a workshop, gym, office, or utility room.
Design Options: Styles, Colours and Finishes
The Solid door's flat profile is the perfect base for a wide range of finishes. Smooth, matte, or satin colours emphasise the minimalist character, while textured finishes can add subtle depth. Wood-effect finishes offer the warmth of timber without the maintenance.
Carteck doors are available in an extensive palette of standard colours—from subtle neutrals to bold statement shades—allowing you to coordinate perfectly with windows, fascias, and entrance doors. Wood-effect and textured finishes are also available to soften the look for traditional properties. Whether you prefer a crisp, smooth modern finish or a practical grained texture that disguises everyday marks, the made-to-measure manufacturing ensures the panel layout remains balanced and proportionate across any size. Because there are no ribs to align, the Solid door offers a pure, uncluttered look suitable for any opening size.
Carteck are a German company held in high regard by architects, fitters and general customers due to the high quality and innovation of their products. They provide a wide variety of surfaces, colours and glazing elements to help personalise your garage door and make it your own.
Vertical Operation and Space-Saving Benefits
Opening vertically and tracking back under the ceiling, the Solid sectional door preserves 100% of the driveway space in front of the garage. The door opens vertically within side tracks before curving back to run horizontally along the ceiling. This means there is no outward swing at any point, making it ideal for short driveways or properties opening directly onto pavements. You can park vehicles right up to the door without obstructing movement. The vertical lift design also maximizes drive-through width and headroom—perfect for SUVs, MPVs, and vehicles with roof boxes. This is essential for properties with short driveways and allows for flexible installation in various structural openings.
Automatic Operation and Control Options
Designed for seamless automation, the Solid door works effortlessly with the Teckentrup CarTeck DRIVE system. Enjoy the luxury of opening your door without leaving your car. These integrated drive units sit neatly above the door, providing smooth, quiet opening at the touch of a button. Handheld transmitters allow you to open the garage from the warmth of your car, while internal wall buttons and optional external keypads offer convenient access for the whole family. The system includes soft-start and soft-stop technology, ensuring the heavy insulated panels move smoothly and quietly. Smart home integration is also available for modern connected homes.
Safety Features and Compliance
Full compliance with UK and European safety standards is standard on the Solid door. The Solid door includes the full suite of Teckentrup safety technologies, fully certified to UK/CE standards.
Carteck have produced a range of safety features to ensure durable functionality whilst paying keen attention to detail. With each sectional door, they supply:
✓ Perfect fitting sections – Individual sections are connected by wear resistant galvanized steel hinges which make the door leaf more secure
✓ Profiled spring channel – The contour of the spring channel reduces friction between the channel housing and plastic sliders and ensures that the door runs even more smoothly
✓ Frame base protection against corrosion – A special plastic part ensures that the vertical frame has no contact with the floor; the base area is thus continuously ventilated and protected against corrosion
✓ Safe, quiet running – The robust side hinges with integrated finger protection hold the patented eccentric roller holders
✓ Enclosed Springs – Springs are hidden in top trays for safety and cleanliness
✓ Continuous Monitoring – The drive unit constantly monitors force, reversing immediately if an obstruction is hit
✓ Finger Protection – Joints are designed to push fingers out rather than trap them
✓ Manual Release – Easy manual operation is possible in the event of a power failure
✓ Patented emergency release – Imperative for garages without a second entrance. The emergency release is operated from the outside via a master key system suitable profile cylinder or Kaba cylinder. It decouples the drive and enables the manual opening of the door (pre-equipped for GSW Carteck sectional doors as standard)
Security and Durability
Robust insulated panels, secure side tracks, and the active locking of the motor provide a dependable security barrier. Sectional construction offers superior security compared to traditional doors. The rigid panels are captive within robust tracks and cannot be easily levered outwards. When paired with a CarTeck DRIVE operator, the door mechanically locks in the closed position to resist forced lifting. The durable multi-layer coating and galvanised steel skin ensure the door resists corrosion and maintains its structural integrity for years. The rigid construction resists impact and distortion far better than single-skin doors. Designed for longevity, the corrosion-resistant finish requires only simple cleaning to maintain its looks for years.
Unique Headroom Advantage
The Carteck sectional door uses a different spring balance mechanism to most other sectional doors and this enables the headroom requirement to be only 120mm for most of the sizes available. However unlike other 'low headroom' systems the Carteck will give you a full drive through height when fully open using any one of their superb electric operators, and this is unique! This makes this sectional door ideal for larger garages with bedrooms above, flat roof arrangements with little headroom or just anywhere where you want to maximise the drive through height.

Carteck doors are available as standard in the woodgrain surface however the Stucco, Micro-Profile and Smooth surfaces are available for the same price!

Sizes and Flexibility
The Carteck Solid door is available in all standard widths from 6'10" up to 18'0" wide with a new range of 'super sizes' offering widths up to a whopping 8000mm wide (26'3").
These super size sectional doors use commercial operating gear and do require more headroom but still offer excellent value for money for any super size garage.
Carteck also offer many more intermediate standard heights at the same price than others do to maximise the seal and insulation by getting a door the same height as the underside of your lintel avoiding an infill section which is normally not insulated.
Electric Operation
This sectional garage door is available in both manual and electric operation.
A range of handheld remote controls are available when the door is electronically operated to provide an easy solution to opening your garage door.

Electric Operation
Electric operation transforms a good sectional garage door into a door you genuinely enjoy using every day. It removes the need for an external handle, manual locking and heavy lifting, turning the door into a secure, smart and effortless entrance to your home.
Why Choose Electric Operation?
Effortless, Everyday Convenience
✓ Open and close the door from the car with a single button press – no more wrestling with a heavy door in the rain or the dark
✓ Smooth, controlled movement with soft start/stop and consistent speed feels noticeably more refined than a manually operated door
Cleaner Appearance – No External Handle
✓ Electric operation removes the need for an external handle and manual locking, giving a cleaner, more contemporary look to the door
✓ Without a handle to grab or force, the door looks less "inviting" to intruders and keeps the panel design uninterrupted
Built‑in Security You Can't Get with a Loose Handle
✓ The operator holds the door closed along the full width of the top section rather than relying on a point lock and handle
✓ Optional magnetic motor locks can resist attack forces up to around 300 kg, making it extremely difficult to force the door up
✓ Integrated force monitoring and optional alarm buzzers provide an additional layer of protection and deterrence
Better Use of Space and Lifestyle
✓ Electric sectional doors open vertically and retract along the ceiling, so you can park right up to the door and still open it
✓ Optional parking lasers, extra lighting and smart controls turn the garage into a genuinely useful space, not just a place to store a car
Smart Home Ready
