The Garador Horizon is a ribbed garage door with a polyester paint finish. This means it requires no painting and is a well built economy door . If you were to choose canopy door mechanism it would be contained within the door frame either side. It has no horizontal tracks running into the garage space. When opened, the door forms a 'canopy' with roughly one third of the door outside the garage. This door is also available in a Tracked gear which consists of two tracks running horizontally into the garage parallel with the top of the frame, with this gear the door will retract fully into the garage. If you are planning to automate your door then your door you will require the tracked mechanism as the canopy mechanism is designed to be manual only.

The last few years has seen changes in the garage door market in particular to the thousands of tons of plastic used to protect doors that ultimately is not recyclable and goes to landfill .
Because of the improvements in galvanised steel and the paint finish now being powder coated and oven baked the need to fully protect the doors against the elements is no longer justified .
Therefore the door you are currently looking at here will not come packaged , this will make it easier for you to check for marks and damage but will also mean that you need to take extra care in handling the product before installation.
The following manufacturers do not plastic wrap steel up and over doors.
Fort , Hormann , Garador , Novoferm , Cardale .
Some special made items or special colours will come wrapped but off the shelf sizes in white will not. Timber, Grp ,Roller doors and sectional doors are still wrapped.
Please be prepared that on arrival if you are storing the door for a time you will need to look after the front panel .
Over the next few years it is likely that packaging using plastic in general will dramatically reduce or cease so we hope you see this as a positive step.
