Reduce heat loss with Garador ’ s Insulated sectional garage doors
With heating bills going up and up , insulation is now even more of a priority . Reduce heat loss in your garage and help to lower your energy bills by choosing a fully insulated Garador Sectional garage door .
Garador Sectional garage doors have been designed to offer maximum insulation , with 42mm thick double skin steel sections evenly filled with dense CFC-free polyurethane foam . These garage doors also have flexible weather resistant rubber seals around all four sides plus a floor seal . This not only helps to reduce heat loss but also prevents drafts and water ingress .

GEZE UK has made donations to three local charities as part of their focus on Corporate Social Responsibility .
A total of £ 1,820.00 was shared between St Giles Hospice , Lichfield Foodbank and the Pathway Project – a charity that supports adults , young people and children who are experiencing or affected by domestic abuse . All of them are based in Lichfield not far from GEZE UK ’ s head office .
The automatic door and window control company donated the money they received from Staffordshire County Council for carrying out lateral flow tests on staff during the Covid pandemic . Rather than keep the money it was decided to donate it to good causes or charities that can help people . A different director made a presentation to each of the charities ; Finance Director , Rachel Boxall presented a
cheque to St Giles Hospice , Service Director Adam Presdee to the Pathway Project and MD Kaz Spiewakowski presented the cheque to the Foodbank .

Grade II listed barn renovation
The Grade II listed barns and farmhouse at Elms Farm , Derbyshire , are packed full of history . Originally built in 1775 , the barns are the former home of the Little Eaton Brewery Company , owned by Officers , and were used as a malthouse and granary before later becoming a working farm .
Owners Fiona and John worked with local architect , Paul Gaughan Building Consultants to draw up the plans for the granary , which was being used as a barn at the time . Light and heat were two large factors that had to be taken into consideration during the planning stages . Many of the
upstairs ’ original beams , which the owners had hoped to keep , had to be covered for insulation , and fifteen roof windows were drawn into the plan to bring natural daylight into the top floor rooms . Fiona says “ The three bedrooms all boast two Keylite roof windows , and each en-suite has an added one . The light that the windows bring in is wonderful and really helps to enhance the beauty of the property .”
