Usually your doors would be hung from a timber door frame, if choosing a door frame then we need your brickwork opening measurements (i.e. tight width measured from brick to brick at narrowest point and height from floor to underside of lintel at shortest point) - we then make the door frame to fit the opening and the doors to fit the door frame!

As standard, the door frame is a 3 piece door frame (head/top piece and 2 stiles/side pieces) supplied with a floor mounted garage door floor seal (this enables vehicle access).

Frame can be upgraded to non-vehicle access version with timber cill/bottom piece and a Stormguard threshold if you choose to customise your doors & frame.

Please let us know which door you want to be the main opening door when viewed from the outside & whether the doors are to open in or out?
Does the door open in OR out and which side (when viewed from rear) is the hinge side?
This allows the top section of the doors to open independently of the bottom section.

Height of split on the Aber can be whatever you require. Additional hinges & ironmongery will be required for the stable door option.

Opting for the stable split on the garage doors does however not let us supply U-Values for the doors, so they will not meet Part L of the Building Regs as not tested as stable doors.

Description

Similar in style to our Aberconway garage doors but whereas the Aberconway has the openings for glazing sub divided into three seperate openings the Aber has just the one.

Being pre-beaded and ready to take glazing, you do not have the messing around with putty! Being interally beaded offers greater protection from moisture ingress and gives additional security.

Doors are supplied with draught strip as standard as are door frames (when ordered).

Available with or without door frames –
With a door frame you have a choice of vehicle acces with a drive over floor seal or as non vehicle acces with a timber cill and Stormguard thermal break threshold (available in a gold or chrome coloured finish).

Floor seals are also available if you do not opt for a door frame.

Please note that U-Values are based on door and frame, and should be used as guidance only if fitting the doors into an existing door frame.
