Location
Frampton Cotterell, South Gloucestershire
Client’s Request
The client sought to replace their aging 1960s garage door with a modern, stylish, and functional alternative. Their primary goals were to enhance the garage’s visual appeal and improve functionality, opting for a durable “up and over” door in a cathedral design.
Challenges
- Aging Infrastructure:
The existing garage door, a relic of the 1960s, was not only visually outdated but also increasingly unreliable due to wear and tear. The old structure required careful removal to prevent damage to the surrounding frame. - Design and Fitment:
Ensuring the new modern door fit seamlessly into the original frame without requiring a complete rebuild of the surrounding structure. Precision alignment was crucial for proper operation and durability. - Modernisation Goals:
The client desired a significant aesthetic upgrade while maintaining a practical and user-friendly design.
Result
The upgraded garage door transformed the property’s exterior with its elegant cathedral design and sleek finish. The modern “up and over” mechanism provides effortless operation, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal. By retaining the original frame, the project was completed efficiently, avoiding unnecessary reconstruction costs.
