A small development of prestigious homes has recently been completed by the West Country's Camelot Developments.
The company’s owner, Dave Glover, explains why Camelot chose the roller garage doors for the project and how they have made a major contribution to the overall finish and success of the development.
“The Tor View development consisted of nine prestigious homes on the outskirts of Yeovil in Somerset, with great views of the surrounding countryside.
“We wanted to build something that would last, so we designed each property using market leading products; from the bricks to the doors. We’re also well aware that first impressions count; we knew the wide frontage double garage doors would be crucial in the overall look of each home and felt that the GaraRoll roller door offered the elegance and build quality we were looking for.
“As a housing developer, Camelot has a reputation for delivering projects on time and within budget, with this in mind we believed that Garador would be the ideal partner for this project.
“Garador is known for its engineering excellence and reliability, plus it is continually bringing out new designs and technical advances, so we had complete confidence when we put in our order that the doors would more than match our specifications.”
Garador commented that home buyers are increasingly looking for well-designed garages where the space inside can be utilised for a range of uses, from home offices and home gyms through to car parking and tool storage, and so for this site Camelot’s selection of Garador’s GaraRoll garage doors was the perfect choice.
GaraRoll garage doors lift vertically and then roll into a box at the head of the garage door opening. This offers a fresh, contemporary look whilst maximising the space available, as there aren’t any tracks which run back into the garage as is the case with some Up & Over doors.
When the doors arrived on site Camelot’s Dave Glover said the fitting was quick and easy.
“I like the fact that Garador also offer a full 24/7 technical and fitting support through their online website and specially created YouTube instructional videos which can be viewed by installers on site on tablets,“ he said. “But there were no problems and we fitted the doors easily by just following their visual fitting instructions.
“After installation, we fully tested the electrical operations of each door again without any problems. GaraRoll is the only spring balanced roller door which uses force limitation built into the operator to ensure the door is always safe to use; it is aspects like this which really lift Garador above the rest.
“Once in place, the GaraRoll doors set the scene for the entire development. With their technical leadership and great looks, Garador garage doors definitely added real value to the homes and the overall development.”
Simon Hipgrave, managing director of Garador, said he was delighted the new development had worked out so well.
“We supply many small to medium sized builders and developers,” he said. “Many like the fact that we are based here in the UK, have a straightforward ordering system including full technical support, and a well-engineered product that will stand the test of time.“
