GARAGE DOORS

The car is the subject of primary importance for owners of rural houses. To be always in working order, it needs a garage. For the quality garage doors and here we present you on what criteria to select it.

GARAGE DOORS

Speaking of heated garage doors of the house or cottage, usually have to sectional or solvent-lifting doors. The construction of the second type of door is solid, usually metallic surface, which rises with leverage below the ceiling of the garage. Mechanisms are of two types: complex independent rod system and a simpler system that requires additional horizontal rails leading to the ceiling. Door to more complex mechanics is more expensive, but simple is more voluminous.

 

GARAGE DOORS

Sectional doors are made of sandwich panels, assembled with metal fasteners. Lifting mechanism for such doors is a system of lead strips, which moves the plane of the doors. The type of lead strips depends on the characteristics of the room, whether there is enough space between the upper edge of the hole and the ceiling or the door will be uploaded directly to the ceiling with the help of leading horizontal strips. The average price of sectional doors varies between 500 and 700 euros.

MECHANICS

Above all, note how well they are treated metallic parts of the door - if there is no roughness and stick places on the surface of metal, sharp corners, rough. The design of the door to the wall pops up as soon as least, not the metal parts of the common pop structure. This is especially important for sectional doors where there are a lot fasteners on door plane.

GARAGE DOORS

Ask them to show the door in action, giving particular attention to the fluidity of movement of the plane garage doors. All kinds of doors have a spring mechanism that compensates the gravity of the tray at the garage doors. Most manufacturers provide 10 years warranty on the plane of the garage door, but some mechanical components have shorter warranty (steel ropes and pulleys - to 2-5 years).

GARAGE DOORS

Shelf-life of springs depends on the quantity of cycles - usually 20-25 thousand for a home garage, which opens 2-4 times daily, which corresponds to 10 years warranty. For garage doors with electric drives for serious producers provided an automatic counter cycles.

Concern for quality mechanics in the installation is minimal, especially when lifting and dissolving doors where there are few moving parts. In sectional garage doors with multiple friction sufficient detail every 6-12 months to check the status of the mechanisms and the need to clean dust and dirt.

OPEN DOORS AND GLASS

Sectional and material-solvent doors can be equipped with doors and windows. If the windows in the main, reflect the appearance and design of the building, the doors are mostly functional. Benefits of additional input is obvious, moreover, no further need to be included in the emergency unlock system drive.

Note the presence of a garage door in the plane of the garage door. The front door can be with or without a threshold. The cost of the windows in the various producing companies varies between 50 and 150 euros and the price of the front garage door - between 400 and 100 euros.

AMENITIES

All standard garage doors can work in managed mode manually, but automation is naturally more comfortable. The principle of operation of the electric is the same for all types of garage doors - motor and a closing element (chain, belt, arm), which moves in a circle through the carriage, and opens and closes the garage doors.

The price of the drive mechanism varies between 150 and 200 euros and this price is only for opening and closing the garage doors. Emergency unlock the device adds another 20-50 euros to that amount. Automatic closure counter cycles, remote control, fixtures bolts, the possibility of inclusion of additional safety devices (photoelectric in opening the garage door, the device automatically tighten the strap to power ..

GARAGE DOORS

 Depending on the fitting price reaches 500-600 EUR and more. Be sure to specify what enters in the fitting of the garage doors - some companies offer complete kits, while others counted each device separately.

Note the smoothness of the descent of the garage doors and stop it, but also the type tightening element in the drive: belt, bicycle chain, lever. Two latter species are more noisy, and the "bicycle chain" and must be lubricated from time to time. With time nategatelniyat element is stretched and weakened so it will be unnecessary to postegnete.

GARAGE DOORS

Drive is very sensitive to voltage drop in the grid, so one voltage (the price is around 100 euros) will help avoid many problems. Some manufacturers offer complete with stabilizer device for continuous power supply at a price above 350 euros.

 

GARAGE DOORS

Average parameters of propulsion: energy expenditure - 200-400 W, speed of movement of the garage doors - 12-22 cm in the second off action on the remote - about 50 meters (depending on the material of the building).

SAFETY

Protection of springs breaking and protection from pinching the European standards are integrated into the system of the garage doors so that failure of any of the protection systems, garage doors stops working. Although serious works include the falling of the protective function of obstacle in the way of the garage doors, not bad to specify whether it is available. The European standard requires a maximum pressure of the obstacle no more than 40 N within 0.75 seconds. Protection against nip the fingers is provided in the very structure of the garage doors - this can easily be seen and verified - minimum gap between sections of the interface areas, closing the box with wires and other moving mechanisms located in the area of contact.

With regard to protection  and sneaking unwanted (non-standard lift garage door), each manufacturer offers a line literate devices (latches, dragged forward teeth), fixing the hole in the door tightly.
