Carteck SLX Vision Sectional
Designed to make a bold statement, the SLX Vision combines substantial aluminium framing with large glazing elements to flood your garage with natural light.
This is more than just a garage door; it is a design feature that transforms dark garages into bright, inviting spaces perfect for displaying cars or using as a hobby room. The heavy-duty aluminium frame sections can be colour-matched to your home’s joinery, while the glazing options—ranging from clear to frosted—allow you to balance light intake with privacy. It offers the same high levels of safety and sealing as the steel range but with a high-end, commercial-grade aesthetic.

Carteck SLX Vision – The Ultimate Design Statement
Introducing the elite glazed sectional garage door, exuding exclusivity in its sleek design: the Carteck SLX Vision. This panoramic, glazed sectional door is designed for maximum light and impact. Replacing solid steel panels with large, glazed sections, it offers a striking, contemporary look ideal for modern homes, showrooms, and high-end garages. The SLX Vision transforms the garage door from a functional barrier into a key architectural feature.
Glass sectional door with design of exclusivity and unique contemporary style.
Teckentrup CarTeck Brand and Manufacturing Quality
The SLX utilises the same trusted lifting gear as the standard Carteck sectional range, assuring owners of smooth operation and reliability, in addition to ultimate style. Built by Teckentrup, a leader in door technology, the SLX Vision uses premium aluminium framing and high-performance glazing. These automated doors employ the same proven CarTeck lifting mechanisms and concealed springs as the standard range, ensuring reliable operation combined with stunning aesthetics.
Design and Glazing Construction
The door itself is made up of the vision panels, consisting of 40mm thick hollow aluminium profiles. The polymer double glazing offers scratch-resistant properties for aesthetic durability, along with six variations in design. The SLX Vision features full-width vision panels that flood the garage with natural light while creating a dramatic, modern statement. The aluminium frame provides structural integrity while maintaining slim sightlines, and the scratch-resistant double-pane polymer glazing delivers thermal performance alongside visual impact. Available in multiple glazing options including clear, frosted, or tinted finishes, the door can be tailored to balance privacy, light transmission, and architectural effect.

Certified Performance Characteristics
As part of the CE marking process, the SLX Vision has been independently tested to European standards to allow fair comparison between products:
✓ Resistance to windload: Class 2 (EN 12424)
✓ Watertightness: Class 2 (EN 12425)
✓ Air Permeability: Class 2 (EN 12426)
✓ Thermal Transmittance: 3.5 W/m²K (EN 13241)
✓ Operating Forces (hand operated): 150N (EN 12604)
✓ Independently tested and CE marked
Thermal and Acoustic Performance
Despite the glazed construction, the 20mm double-pane polymer glazing provides meaningful thermal insulation, far superior to single glazing. The aluminium frame incorporates thermal breaks to minimize heat transfer, while perimeter seals prevent draughts. The door delivers certified thermal performance while flooding your garage with natural daylight.
Design Options: Frame Colours and Glazing
The aluminium framing is available in a selection of colours to suit different building styles. Glazing options include:
✓ Clear glass for maximum light and visibility
✓ Frosted or translucent finishes for privacy
✓ Tinted glazing for solar control and aesthetic effect
✓ Six vision style variations
✓ Choice of vision options to suit application design
✓ Custom configurations to match architectural requirements
The made-to-measure manufacturing ensures the glazing module layout is proportioned correctly for each specific opening size.
Vertical Operation and Space-Saving Benefits
The SLX Vision operates identically to standard CarTeck sectional doors, rising vertically and tracking back under the ceiling with no outward swing. This preserves 100% of the driveway space and allows parking right up to the door. The vertical lift mechanism maximizes drive-through width and height, ideal for modern vehicles.
Automatic Operation – Electric Only
The SLX Vision is operated via remote control operator for ease of use. The concealed operator sits above the door, providing smooth, quiet motion with soft-start and soft-stop technology. Control options include handheld transmitters, wall stations, external keypads, and smart-home integration for modern connected living.
Electric operation for smooth and easy opening as standard.
Safety Features and Compliance
The SLX Vision includes comprehensive safety features fully certified to UK and European standards:
✓ Safety Sensing – The door stops and reverses if it touches a car or person
✓ Enclosed Cables and Springs – Concealed lifting springs with no exposed moving parts that could cause injury
✓ Pinch Protection – Panel joints are shaped to prevent finger entrapment
✓ Secure Tracks – The door is captive within the tracks, preventing it from falling
✓ Certified Safety – Full CE/UKCA marking
Security and Durability
The rigid sectional design is inherently more secure than traditional panel doors. When closed and locked by the electric motor, it forms a solid wall that is difficult to breach. The aluminium frame is corrosion-resistant and requires only occasional cleaning to maintain its appearance. The scratch-resistant polymer glazing ensures long-lasting aesthetic durability.
Usage Scenarios
Ideal for design-led projects, modern homes, and new builds in contemporary styles. Perfect for properties where you want the garage to make a statement, or where natural light inside the garage is a priority. Popular for showrooms, workshops with display areas, and luxury home garages where the door becomes part of the architectural composition.

Electric Operation
Electric operation transforms a sectional garage door into a door you genuinely enjoy using every day with the benefits of increased security and convenience. 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
Smartphone and smart‑home integration options let you check whether the door is open and operate it remotely – ideal for deliveries, family access and peace of mind.
