Retractable garage doors

If you require a garage door in traditional style that can be automated then the retractable door is for you. No wires mean that the door is more stable and robust than the canopy type garage door.  All double garage doors are of the retractable type that operate in an up-and-over motion.

A large proportion of the garage door swings outwards as it opens, and then slides away backwards horizontally into the ceiling of your garage. Pivot points are located at the top of the garage door, so you mustn't park too close as it opens.

Assisting spring assemblies are fitted to frames on either side of the garage door and tracks take the roller on the top of the door, while pivoting lifting arms hold the lower part of the door. The door fully travels inside the garage space.

We can supply and fit retractable garage doors in a wide range of materials, and pre-framed versions are also available. There is also an inbuilt compact motor available in the NOVOFERM range.
