As the largest manufacturer of concrete garages in the UK, Compton Buildings provide a wide choice of doors for garage customers to choose from. The standard garage doors included in the product price are horizontally ribbed white fully finished paint. These are ready to use with no further painting required, but can be over painted if an alternative colour garage door is preferred.
A popular option is plastisol coated steel up and over garage doors. These are white vertically ribbed and are maintenance free (other than a wash down with soapy water when required). Plastisol doors are not intended to be over painted.
Both these garage door finishes are available on the main up and over garage doors and on personnel side/rear access doors. There are many more options to choose from all designed to help you choose the brand new concrete garage that is right for you.
All Compton up and over garage doors feature 4 point locking rods for additional security. They are delivered and installed together with the concrete garage so that when Compton’s garage installer leaves a customer’s site they have a garage that is secure and ready to use.
I think garage doors have come a long way. From the outside appearnce to the built in strength of the door. Now consumers have a wide range to choose from when purchasing a garage door system.
I understand an integral part of the process in manufacturing garage doors is through the use of metal forming machines. I’ve read articles on Roll Forming (Samco Machinery seems to be a leader http://www.samco-machinery.com) on Industrial Machinery News (http://www.industrial-machinery-news.com) that talk a lot about rollformers.
i would be interested in reading more about how garage doors are manufactured.
