Carteck Georgian Panelled – Traditional Elegance Meets Modern Performance

The Carteck Georgian Panelled sectional door introduces a traditional raised-panel effect, giving the door a classic character that complements period properties. This style is perfect for homes with sash windows or brick detailing, where a modern flat door might look out of place. It combines this heritage aesthetic with modern CarTeck insulation and engineering, giving you the charm of traditional craftsmanship with the convenience and performance of a contemporary garage door.

Classic Georgian styled panel design, manufactured to high quality standards by Carteck.

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 insulated steel panels feature a durable multi-layer coating system designed to withstand demanding UK weather conditions while maintaining a pristine appearance.

CarTeck insulated sectional doors are specifically designed to transform cold, draughty garages into comfortable, usable extensions of the home. The advanced insulation and perimeter sealing stabilise internal temperatures, reducing energy waste and creating a pleasant environment for storage, hobbies, or parking. The range also features integrated CarTeck DRIVE operators, which sit discreetly above the door for a neat, uncluttered interior.

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.

Design and Panel Construction

The Georgian design features a thoughtfully proportioned panel layout that creates depth and visual interest without appearing overly busy. The embossed rectangular panels give a three-dimensional raised effect, adding character and elegance. This design is particularly effective on period properties or homes where a flat contemporary door would seem out of place. Constructed using polyester coated galvanized steel double skinned 40mm insulated panels, this panelled design is available in woodgrain texture. The panels are more oblong than square like many others making the amount of panels in a door less than the smaller square panels of other designs. This makes the door design ideal for larger width openings as the door has a far more balanced look and is not too busy.

The door is 40mm double skinned as standard and offers great insulation, security and strength in one. The robust double-skinned construction ensures the raised profile remains sharp and defined over time, while factory-engineered joints maintain smooth, quiet operation.

Construction and Insulation Performance

Thick, double-skinned steel panels filled with high-density foam insulation significantly reduce heat loss. This thermal efficiency is crucial for attached garages, helping to maintain a stable internal environment and reduce energy bills. Premium perimeter seals and tight section joints keep out draughts, dust, and moisture, making the garage a more practical space for uses beyond simple car storage.

Design Options: Styles, Colours and Finishes

The Georgian door pairs beautifully with traditional colour palettes—Cream, White, or wood-effect finishes work particularly well to enhance the period aesthetic. The woodgrain texture adds authenticity, softening the modern steel construction for a more sympathetic look alongside brick, render, or timber cladding. Made-to-measure manufacturing ensures the panel layout scales proportionately across any size, maintaining visual balance whether fitted to a single or double garage.

Vertical Operation and Space-Saving Benefits

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.

Automatic Operation and Control Options

Designed for seamless automation, the Georgian door works effortlessly with the Teckentrup CarTeck DRIVE system. 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. Smart home integration is also available for modern connected homes.

Safety Features and Compliance

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

✓ 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

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.

Usage Scenarios

The Georgian door is the natural choice for period properties, conservation areas, and homes where architectural sympathy is important. It suits homeowners who want the thermal efficiency and convenience of a modern sectional door without compromising the character of a traditional property.

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.

Surface Texture

The Carteck Georgian Panelled Sectional doors are only available in Woodgrain textured surface finish.

Sizes and Flexibility

The Carteck Georgian Panelled doors are 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. *Super-size doors are not available for the Georgian doors.

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.- see 'electric operation' tab for full details on options
A range of handheld remote controls are available when the door is electronically operated to provide an easy solution to opening your garage door.
