Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a reliable company in Northantsthat can supply and install an insulated double garage door?

It's bloody cold in my garage so I fancy getting one of this insulated doors that roll up instead of the up and over type.

Many thanks,

Phil

These guys have always been very good, they automated our garage doors but looks like they do most things and include Northamptonshire:

ETA: just general ideas below

I don't know but I'd have thought that an insulated roll-up door would be too bulky when rolled up, insulating an up-'n'-over sounds easier

unless you have heating and/or a dehumidifier don't be tempted to put standard matting or carpeting in the garage as they can hold the damp, to walk on use rubber/plastic flooring or wooden duck boards perhaps

remember to keep warm (or cooler in summer) as much as possible you want to keep the air inside inside and the air outside outside so look for areas of loss like windows, doors and draughts around them, walls and particularly ceiling/roof

putting some sort of insulated ceiling in will help with insulation a lot, double (or secondary) glazing only about half's the glazing heat loss (covering with plastic or closed close fit heavy/thermal curtains can be just about as good)

creating zone areas where you'll be working (with heavy plastic sheeting or something or a shed if you have a huge garage) will concentrate any heating/insulation to that area

simple things like wearing a hat of some kind, scarf, gloves and jacket will keep you warmer too

a garage, any garage, a luxury smile

They were very good when I used them and they had a range of insulated garage doors.

Give Sean a bell at Fernie garage doors, absolutely top bloke, he did me a really good deal on a Hormann fully insulated sectional electric door. So happy with it, the motor is fast and quiet, 2 remotes to operate it and the garage has no drafts whatsoever as it seals when it closes and the garage is much much warmer now!

Just had GDI here today installing a brand new insulated garage door. They have done a lovely job so thank you for the heads up on these guys.

My old electric door opening system is now up for grabs cheaply if anyone on here is looking to get their garage door automated?
