Roll-Up-Doors offer both style and security
LOCALLY PRODUCED GARAGE DOORS ARE QUIET, DURABLE AND AVAILABLE IN A RANGE OF COLOURS
Considering that they’re the largest component on the exterior of a house, garage doors can have a huge impact on a home’s curb appeal. Yet they’re not the kind of thing people spend much time thinking about.
In fact, people have come to accept garage doors as generally noisy machines with large motors that have to be bolted to the ceiling — and may not realize there’s an alternative.
Roll-Up-Doors are a quiet, spacesaving, low-maintenance, secure, and stylish option for homeowners looking to improve the style and function of their garage, while keeping their homes safe.
Produced in B.C. by Port Kells based Smart Garage Door Ltd. — the only roll-up garage-door manufacturer in North America that specializes in residential properties — Roll-Up-Doors are made of galvanized structural-grade steel. Custom-built to fit any space, they come in a range of designer colours, from bright white to charcoal grey to dark red, to suit different home styles and personal tastes.
“They have a very modern look,” says Smart Garage president Case Vandergugten. “People love the utility of the Roll-Up-Door, but they also love the appearance.”
The units are mounted to the front wall, not the ceiling, freeing up so much space that usually goes wasted in people’s garages.
“Your garage is a very underutilized storage area,” Vandergugten says. “With these, your entire ceiling could become a storage area. Or you could put a lift in if you’re a car buff.”
Once you hear how quiet the Roll-Up-Doors are, you’ll wonder how you ever lived with the loud sounds that typically come from a conventional garage door. The revolutionary opener operates at 61 decibels, which is quieter than an average human conversation, at 63. A guide block and Nylofelt runner strips allow for smooth operation.
“If you have a bedroom right above the garage, it’s so nice not to have that noise transfer,” Vandergugten says.
Another advantage is that the doors have a soft, pliable bottom weather seal to prevent rain and leaves from entering the garage under the door.
But perhaps one of the greatest benefits of Roll-Up-Doors is the peace of mind they provide homeowners: since they run fully in the guides they are very hard to gain forced entry into. Enhanced security and the prevention of break-ins are key reasons people are installing them.
The durable Roll-Up-Doors are safe in other ways, too; an automatic obstruction sensor, built directly into the opener, will stop the door and reverse it should it lower on to anything underneath it.
