"garage door"

Bespoke garage and car port doors from Rundum Meir, which provide natural ventilation and daylighting into enclosed garage spaces, can deliver a seamless aesthetic result in contemporary architecture featuring vertical timber board-on-batten cladding. This is illustrated at the Abode development in Cambridgeshire, where the architects delivered uniformity across different housing styles using a limited palette of materials. Horizontal and vertical cladding was extended into the doors for the car ports manufactured in matching oak. These ventilated doors enable fresh air and daylight to flow through the car ports from the rear gardens, adding an interesting visual dimension.

A stunning ‘roundhouse’ curved garage door, built as part of a project to renovate and extend a Grade II listed property, provides a new perspective on the design, purpose and visual appeal of an exceptional British garage. The project at the large family home in Surrey encompassed internal alterations, restoration of a five metre high bay window to the main house and the creation of a four bay garage. The garage’s purpose, usage and desired appearance meant fusing traditional design with contemporary solutions, with Rundum Meir tailor-made garage doors being key to delivering on the architects’ vision.

A Rundum Original side sliding garage door has enabled a client in Yorkshire to apply a non-standard shape to their new garage to maximise the footprint and provide the largest area of usable internal space with easy vehiclular access. The angle of the boundary of the Victorian house presented an opportunity during a refurbishment project to remodel the garage. By aligning the front elevation of the garage with the house, vehicular access could be improved. The design required a door that could comfortably handle a right angle corner followed by an obtuse angle along the garage's side wall.

A bespoke timber side sliding sectional garage door by Rundum Meir has proved to be the perfect fit for a private collector of classic 1950s Humber cars.After moving into the period property around six years ago, Cab Ellis was keen to redevelop the unloved garage to create a space for housing his collection of mark IV B Humber Super Snipe cars. Having purchased and maintained four of these specific models over the past 15 years, Mr Ellis wanted to ensure the new garage would reflect the beauty of the vehicles as well as mirror the period architecture of his 1910-built home.The Humber Super Snipe was very much regarded as an upmarket car of choice amongst senior public and business figures in the mid 1950s, providing a level of luxury beyond that of the more mainstream Humber stablemate in that era, the Humber Hawk – for which the Super Snipe is often mistaken. Elegantly styled with powerful 4,138 cc 113 bhp engines, they were built between 1952 and 1956 and today their heritage lives on thanks to the efforts of dedicated collectors like Mr Ellis.The vehicles are now housed in a garage accessed via an automated timber side sliding sectional door, featuring glass apertures, designed, manufactured and installed by Rundum Meir UK. The six-section door spans 4m to provide easy access to the garage and painted in a high quality black finish to achieve a period look.Cab Ellis said: “We’re delighted with our new garage and thankful to Rundum Meir for the sliding doors which have made the dream a reality. When we started on the project we researched numerous garage door types, but we struggled to find one that was out of the ordinary, automated and available in the stable-door style we sought.“Danesch and the team at Rundum Meir were fantastic. Following an initial visit to our home, they helped us explore the options within our available budget and the door that they proposed was perfect. With the windows, it is great to be able to see our Super Snipes in all their glory with ease."The side sliding sectional door installed here demonstrates how Rundum Meir is able to develop a bespoke solution for most applications. All its doors are designed in the UK, hand crafted in Germany and assembled back in the UK prior to installation.In addition to many different varieties of timber, Rundum Meir routinely manufactures garage doors in high strength extruded aluminium, as well as special materials such as glass and façade substrates. These can be designed as side sliding sectional doors, side sliding ‘round the corner’ doors or up and over options.

A bespoke side sliding sectional garage door by Rundum Meir provides a blend of aesthetics and modern functionality in a Victorian house renovation project. The 19 ft x 12 ft garage has been transformed into a quality working space equipped and finished exquisitely, allowing for use as a utility area or office as well as a vehicular. A clear 2900mm span is provided by a sliding sectional garage door. Hand crafted using knot-free Spruce, this bespoke timber door in RAL 6021 Pale Green is fully automated with insulation between the five solid double skinned timber panels.

A bronze façade featuring integrated Rundum Meir garage doors for two new townhouses in central Manchester has been uniquely designed to reflect the architecture of the nearby John Rylands Library, one of the city’s most famous neo-Gothic buildings. The duo of four storey, high specification private dwellings designed by Snook Architects for regeneration specialist Watch This Space have given new purpose to an unused site nestling between two post-industrial buildings close to Deansgate. Their full height bronze façade delivers a striking external appearance that takes a distinctive visual cue from the library, located opposite. The aluminium façade of both townhouses features laser cut and acid-etched lacy blind tracery patterns that match those in the windows of the library, a late Victorian neo-Gothic building which opened in 1900 and is now part of the University of Manchester. The lacy pattern extends over the full height of the façade which includes large folding/sliding shutters. These balance privacy with natural light requirements for residents during the day whilst being eye-catching at night as internal light shines through the laser cut pattern. This design extends into the twin side sliding sectional garage doors manufactured and installed by Rundum Meir, which effectively deliver a sliding façade at street level. Working closely with architect Neil Dawson, Rundum Meir’s designers were able to replicate the design with total consistency and manufacture in Germany using acid etching across the six aluminium sections. Neil Dawson of Snook Architects said: “Watch This Space approached us to look at how they could transform this city centre site and we immediately saw the potential to take design inspiration from the nearby John Rylands Library. The resulting façade is unique, and through the movement of the shutters and garage doors during daily life it is constantly moving and changing. “The laser cut pattern means that the building really comes to life at night as the internal light makes the intricate façade design a stunning feature. To be able to match this styling in the garage doors was crucially important and the result reflects the bespoke craftsmanship provided by Rundum Meir.” The twin Rundum Meir sliding garage doors each provide a clear opening of 3.8 m for easy vehicle access from the street. Hand made using extruded aluminium, the fully automated bespoke garage doors have an automated pedestrian door as well as the side sliding door that demonstrate the design flexibility offered by Rundum Meir, who create every garage door to meet project requirements.

A bespoke up and over garage door designed and manufactured by Rundum Meir has brought 21st century functionality, access and security to a Grade II listed property in Belgravia. One objective of the renovation project sought to improve access to the garage, which faces a desirable residential street close to Eaton Square Gardens. The transformation had to be done in a way that was sympathetic to the local architecture and compliant with the house’s listed status. The garage doors of the properties lining this cobblestone street are fine examples of the 19th century coach house tradition.

SWS UK distributor AS Doors Ltd was amongst the first to install our most secure roller garage door, the SeceuroGlide Excel following its recent design enhancements. The Customer Based in the historic town of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire the homeowner approached AS Doors Ltd when the frequent issues they’d been experiencing with their existing up-and-over door culminated in an emergency call-out on Christmas eve of last year. The Requirements Ahead of visiting AS Doors’ showroom, which was also conveniently located in Melton Mowbray, the homeowners had wisely carried out extensive garage door research and decided that the automated design and minimal space requirements provided with roller garage doors made them the ideal choice for their home and lifestyle. The ability to operate the door whilst parking just inches away was a further attraction and one that would personally benefit them due to the restricted space on their property’s driveway. The Solution Having firmly decided on a roller garage door, the customer was impressed with the quality and choice offered with the UK manufactured SeceuroGlide brand. They were further impressed with the additional LPCB security rating supplied with the SeceuroGlide Excel and opted for this model in an Anthracite Grey finish (RAL 7016) which pleasingly complemented their existing front door. The Installation Installed in March 2021, expert garage door distributor AS Doors Ltd fitted the Excel in one day. This was the first Excel installed by the company to include the newly designed ‘feet’ (a unique, security-enhancing feature of the Excel model). The improved design uses precision cut-outs which allows the rubber edge to neatly sit on the floor. AS Doors commented on the new foot plate, describing it as a ‘great enhancement of the Excel door’ and that being pre-assembled onto the bottom of the guide made it ‘very easy to install’. The Outcome Upon completion of their newly installed SeceuroGlide garage door, the customer expressed their delight with the product and were amazed with the difference it made to their home’s kerb-appeal. AS Doors were also impressed with their first experience of the enhanced Excel door, describing it as ‘product development at its finest’. The SeceuroGlide Excel The unique reinforced design of SeceuroGlide Excel has enabled it to become the first garage door of any kind to successfully complete independent testing recognised on a national level. In addition to the Secured by Design accreditation (supplied as standard with SeceuroGlide Original), the Excel also meets the higher specification set by the LPCB to create the most advanced roller door on the market.

Two bespoke, 8m-span Rundum Original side sliding garage doors have enabled Evans Vettori architects to deliver on their thoughtful, sensitive vision for the modern new premises of a well-established firm of funeral directors in Buxton. Two Rundum Original ‘round the corner’ side sliding doors provide access to the garage for the company’s three large specialist vehicles. A second door designed and manufactured to a matching specification provides the same wide opening directly at the rear of the building, allowing the vehicles to be driven in with ease from the small courtyard.

A Rundum Original bespoke garage door provided the ideal solution for a stunning new contemporary home on the banks of Loch Tummel overlooking Perthshire’s famous mountain, Schiehallion. The building envelope’s dramatic parallel walls of sawn Caithness stone and polished concrete flank both sides of the house, with the property’s northern end featuring a dramatic main sitting room surrounded by two-storeys of frameless glass. An elegant Rundum Original side sliding garage door features to maintain the external beauty of the property, hand crafted to a bespoke design in Germany using Western Red Cedar.

With a growing production of Rapeseed Oil, Norfolk Steel Building's customer required an insulated facility for the process. To help with the insulation they opted for the SeceuroGlide roller garage door with insulating properties. To match the doors with the style of the building they chose the Anthracite finish. The doors are electrically operated with 2 channel transmitters

Here is a new build in which SB Joinery were involved with the entire joinery package. We manufactured and installed the internal cabinetry, doors and staircase. Externally we provided Accoya windows and doors (including garage doors), fully finished to the customers specified RAL colour. A great project in which the customer was very satisfied.

Two bespoke, 8m-spanning Rundum Original side sliding garage doors have played a key role in enabling Evans Vettori architects to deliver on their thoughtful, sensitive vision for the modern new premises of a well-established firm of funeral directors in Buxton. The building’s high quality design and excellent build standard by NSJ Contractors, which resulted in it making the shortlist of the East Midlands RIBA Regional Awards 2020, blends key aspects of the local vernacular with modern design and material choices, including a zinc standing seam roof that extends to form the outward-facing façade.

Henderson’s sliding door hardware systems were specified by Penton Architects for the central dining space and garage of the architects’ own rural new build. Adam Penton commented: “The large sliding doors to the central dining space utilise P C Henderson’s Lift and Slide Base System which was specified for its performance and ability to be housed into a bespoke glazed timber screen and cill system.” The dining room doors open up the side of the house and are used daily during the summer months for ventilation and access to external terracing to create an indoor / outdoor experience.

Accoya was recommended by distributor Tecade for use in the construction of the building. Tecade recommended the use of Accoya to ensure that the building would sit well in its natural surroundings, while also maintaining its structural integrity in the harsh environment. Accoya was used for all applications throughout the home including the façade, interior doors, indoor & outdoor furniture, terrace, garage door & railings. The architect specified 28mm X 150mm of Accoya for the outdoor terrace & constructed the terrace furniture using around 1 cubic meters of Accoya to build 3 tables & 36 chairs for external use.

Jewers Doors has for many years supplied contour doors which are specially shaped to encompass the fuselage of an aircraft in order to provide an environmental seal. These doors allow part of an aircraft (e.g. the nose or tail) to be within the controlled environment of a hangar for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations. With part (often the major part) of an aircraft remaining outside the hangar, space within the hangar is available for other aircraft to be worked upon – thus increasing productivity. Such an arrangement also means that MRO operations can be undertaken on larger Code E and F aircraft in hangars that would otherwise be too small.

TrägerHAUS, an award-winning exclusive new home by HAUS Collective, is designed to take into account every aspect of the external envelope’s design to ensure consistency of form, quality and optimum aesthetic appeal. Whilst the scale and main volume of TrägerHAUS may not be apparent at street level, careful consideration of the materials for the home’s outward-looking elevation and main entrance. Key to this was the decision to utilise an elegant, automated side sliding sectional garage door in manufactured in Siberian Larch by Rundum Meir.

The independent, family run “New Naylor Garage” in Elvington wanted to refurbish their business, and were looking for a door that is modern, convenient, secure and practical to best represent their business.Their previous roller door was aesthetically outdated, physically demanding to use and offered little to no insulation to their staff, who had been working tirelessly through the winter months to put their successful family business where it is on the map today. On top of this, the old roller door posed a moderate security risk, due to the fact it could easily be leveraged open enough to force entry, then manually opened fully once inside using the chain hoist.With all this in mind, the goals were clear. It required a modern professional design, something that would reflect their success and set the business aside from their competition. It had to be custom made, due to the odd dimensions of the opening to allow vehicles of all shapes and sizes through. It had to be well insulated, to keep their staff comfortable and healthy particularly during the icy winter months. This is also important to protect their tools and vehicles from moisture which leads to rust and corrosion. Finally, it had to be convenient and user friendly, giving access to multiple staff members while requiring no manual force required to operate.It was time to make a change, and the business started to search for a solution to these problems.In the end, SOMMER DOCO provided the solution, a complete made to measure sectional door resolving all these issues at once. While many unique options are available, this door has a modern and stylish yet subtle design, which is perfectly suited to the UK market. A fantastic and coincidentally, a cost effective choice for a thriving British business such as this.Appearances aside, the sturdy door panels with 40mm thick insulated sections offers very good thermal insulation. Efficiently designed sealing systems also provide excellent isolation for the system, as well as compensating for areas of uneven ground. All in all this allows the business to remain efficiently heated despite the weather outside. This also insulates the noise coming from the workstation, dampening the noise from the various tools inside the garage minimising noise pollution for the surrounding businesses.While many control options are available ranging from fingerprint scanners to keycode access, the business opted for a key operated Deadman switch, negating the need for a spiral cable to optical safety edge. While this requires you to hold and turn the key in place to operate the door, it removes the need for any cables and gives the keyholder full control. This increases the safety of vehicles coming in and out as the door is being manually operated by a keyholder with full vision of the door. The door is a standard lift with pitch to follow the pitch of the roof. This means that the panels follow the roofline, keeping them parallel to the roof and out of the way of vehicles raised on the car lifts inside.Windows fitted into the panels provide plenty of natural light, brightening up the workspace when the door is shut. These windows have been requested and fitted at a high level, to avoid any prying eyes looking inward for valuables when the business is closed.While all SOMMER DOCO doors are made to measure, the amount of detail and customisation that can be applied by SOMMER DOCO to suit various needs and requirements is second to none. No matter what the requirements are, SOMMER DOCO has the perfect solution.

Kop van Zuid in Rotterdam, is the prominent location of the World Port Centre designed by Sir Norman Foster Architects. In collaboration with Bauporte, the architect designed a brand new entrance concept to the building. The biggest challenge of assignment was that the existing revolving door was out of proportion to the building. It was too low, too wide and looked dated. Bauporte designed a sleek 5.5 m high revolving door with oblique LED lighting. The TALL door is driven by an overhead drive in the canopy.

The Wallbrook is a high quality office headquarters building in the heart of London designed by Foster and Partners. The 3 revolving doors are entirely recessed into the reception area and join the façade only at the front edges, the brief from the architect called for minimal framing to the enclosures to avoid unnecessary vertical sight lines in the glazing. Bauporte designed and installed 3 Circular Full Vision revolving doors. The doors all feature bespoke curved walls each formed of a single sheet of glass and single-piece glass ceilings. Semi-automatic in operation with inground heaters.

Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin, a 5-star luxury hotel on the Noordwijk coast. This is one of the most luxurious hotels along the Dutch coast. The main entrance required a major overall to ensure a draft free lobby at the hotel. The design of the hotel left only one option, a Bauporte Royal Nostalgia revolving door. The door not only eliminates cold draughts but due to the in floor heater also provides a warm welcome to the guests. The door leaves also automatically fold open in an emergency to allow the guests to leave the hotel quickly.

Hyatt Place Amsterdam Airport leads the way in renewable energy. Bauporte was invited to design the revolving door in the hotel. The Bauporte revolving door had to welcome the guests giving them the feeling of luxury and comfort. The curved glass walls are made from a single sheet of glass.
