Installation of garage doors
How the professionals at Novoferm do it
Garage doors are undoubtedly extremely important elements of any garage. They provide the necessary space for the vehicle to access its parking space and protect it from the weather, theft or other possible negative influences. The interior of the garage also benefits from a good garage door. Indeed, the danger of damp corners or even mould can be virtually eliminated with the right door.
However, all these benefits can only be achieved if you not only choose a high-quality and highly functional garage door, but also install it correctly. Read on to find out how professionals install a garage door, what you should pay special attention to with electric garage door openers, and why it is usually best to have your garage door installed.
INSTALLING A GARAGE DOOR
CAN BE SO RELAXING!
Garage door installation always involves a lot of effort.
Without the right tools and technical expertise, you will not achieve a satisfactory result. If you want to play it safe, entrust the installation of your garage door to a professional.
In addition to saving time, this solution has many other important advantages.
Accurate fit: Measuring correctly is something that has to be learned. If you install the garage door yourself and do not work with a tape measure and folding rule every day, there is a high risk of getting the measurements wrong and ordering a door that does not fit properly. You can entrust this responsibility to a professional.
Functional reliability: Garage doors must function reliably in the long term. They are a significant cost factor. A professional will ensure that everything works properly and that you can enjoy your door for a long time. Moreover, the operation of a garage door can be dangerous for people if it is not installed correctly. The expert knows exactly what he is doing and guarantees the necessary safety.
Advice, customer service, guarantee: If you work with a specialist company, you will receive a guarantee on your door and its installation. In addition, you can usually count on good advice and long-term support in the event of questions, problems, etc.
GARAGE ASSEMBLY
FIVE STEPS TO A NEW GARAGE DOOR WITH NOVOFERM
The installation of a garage door usually takes place in five simple steps with the support of a professional.
- Consultation: With a professional company at your side, the first step is usually to obtain comprehensive advice on garage door options.
- Measurement: The professional takes responsibility for all measurement work. You can be sure of getting a perfectly fitting garage door.
- Removal of old door, if necessary: Of course, you do not have to remove and dispose of the garage door yourself, which may need to be replaced.
- Installation: Installation is carried out in accordance with all applicable specifications. Your door will therefore function safely and reliably in the long term. A guarantee is of course provided.
- Commissioning: After installation, you will receive an introduction to all the features of your new garage door, from remote control functions to smart home options and specific maintenance information.
INSTALLATION OF AN ELECTRIC GARAGE DOOR
IT IS GOOD TO KEEP THIS IN MIND!
Even before installing a garage door, there are many nuances to consider. We have summarised the two most important factors here. If you have your garage door installed by a professional, you will obviously not run the risk of making any serious mistakes in any of these areas.
- Pull force: Before installation, it is particularly important to ensure that the operator is designed for the weight of the garage door leaf in question. Larger doors naturally require a greater pulling force. As a guide, you can use the following calculation: ten square metres of garage door = operator with a pulling force of at least 700 N.
- It is also very important to pay attention to the drive technology. As a rule, a chain or belt drive is used. It is good to know that toothed belts are much quieter in operation. However, they are somewhat less powerful and are not as durable as chain drives.
