DOORS , WINDOWS & FITTINGS
GARAGLIDE ROLLER DOORS CONTINUE WINNING STREAK
Garador ’ s GaraGlide roller door continues to grow in popularity as it is quick to install , easy to transport to site and precision engineered for durability . An affordable price point has also made it a popular product amongst builders and homeowners alike .
The speed and ease with which the GaraGlide can be installed is a significant advantage , saving them time and effort . The door itself has a pre-assembled box cover and barrel and requires as little as
12 fixings all round , making the installation process much quicker .
The door curtain , comprised of 77mm high rust-resistant aluminium laths , rolls up into a neat box at the top of the opening , giving optimum space both around the door and also in the ceiling area . It is operated by two remote hand transmitters , with a choice of either standard ( 433 MHz ) or bisecur ( 868 MHz ) radio technology , that latter of which provides extra security .
