Double Width Insulated Round the Corner Door

Double Width Insulated Round the Corner Door

A round the corner garage door manufactured from aluminium slats has an effortless operation and as a door will last a very long time indeed without the stresses and strains of a roller or up and over door mechanism.

People say they do not want to lose one wall in the garage with this door, but we have found that those using this type of door appreciate the fact it makes you keep your garage tidy and clean.

We have seen customers build in a false wall where the sliding door curtain travels, so this is always an option if you really cannot do without one wall in your garage.

Every aluminium slatted round the corner garage door we offer is made to measure to the millimetre and this type of door will only ever fit behind the garage opening as it requires a minimum of 130mm to one side and 55mm on the other for the curve of the track and the profile to receive the curtain of the door when closing. The curve can be larger so the internal reveal can be used to the maximum and keep the door travel always as close to the side wall as possible.

Minimum headroom is required and the bottom track is surface mounted to the floor offering a weather bar as well as the guide for the bottom of the door.

Price

 Expect to pay between £6,600 and £7,700 inc. VAT installed for a one off installation with a choice of finished colours on double skinned insulated aluminium slats. The doors are always remote control electric operated as standard with 2 hand held remote handsets supplied as a minimum.

There is an internal emergency manual release in case of any power failure to enable manual operation when you have another access to the garage, if not a special fitting can provide secure access from the outside of the door.

The doors are all made to measure as standard for a perfect fit. A level floor is fairly essential although there is some tolerance with this particular type of RTC door unlike others with little or no tolerance at all.

We have been selling round the corner garage doors for over 30 years now and pretty much every door is still fully operational because of their stress free operation and high quality build.

The single width size is generally between about 4.4m and 4.6m on a standard UK size double width garage. These doors are made to measure as standard on the width and the height with a standard height being around 2.2m in the UK.

Features

COLOURS AND FINISHES

For this price example we are using one of the standard 9 solid paint colour options available.

The aluminium slats used in this door are a prefinished factory painted product with excellent durability in all weathers. Coastal areas with high salt content in the air might not be the best but this is the same for any steel or aluminium product in that environment.

There are several woodgrain laminate foil options also available at a small surcharge along with options to match specific special colour ranges and also a wider range of Renolit laminate foil finishes. You certainly will find a colour to work within the range offered.

SECURITY

There is no handle set on any round the corner door of this type and the entire curtain is held closed and solid by the internal electric motor drive system.

Whilst there is no specific security rating for this door it is a very good secure door type because of the basic design and mechanics.

EASE OF USE

With the standard electric operator option all you have to do is press a button either on one of the 2 hand transmitters supplied or the wall mounted control station which sits inside your garage with a built in courtesy light also built in.

If there is a power cut then you have to enter the garage by another door and release the motor drive to operate the door manually which will be quite effortless. If there is no other access then there is a release mechanism which is attached to the handle or drilled into the panel as a key release mechanism with cable attachment.

OUR VIEW: from 35 years of experience...

The round the corner (RTC) garage door is one of the oldest types of door mechanism with original doors being made from timber and using furniture from various manufacturers along with a tracking system concreted into the ground. The track was a dust and leaf trap but these days the modern surface mounted tracking does not have this issue and most round the corner doors sold are either steel or aluminium panels or slats.

An RTC door system offers a very reliable and stable door which will last for a very long time whilst offering effortless and reliable operation. It is a door type which can also give you the desirable partial opening for a pedestrian to walk in and out without ever opening the whole door.

This particular aluminium slatted round the corner system is very weather resistant and offers a good degree of insulation from the double skinned foam filled slats used in the curtain. They are of a high quality and manufactured in Germany by Alulux Gmbh.

Do not dismiss this type of door simply because you think you will lose the use of a wall in the garage. If you cherish the vehicle you park in your garage this door type will help you keep your garage tidy and clean.

They may seem expensive at first glance, but it is a very good door system with a long lifespan because of the fairly frictionless movement and lack of stress on any given part.

You can also have one door opening one way and another the other way and joining in the middle doubling the potential maximum width possible up to around 11m wide if required.
