Wessex Doors Southwood GRP

Style & Design
The Southwood garage door features an arched window in the top section. It has three moulded ribs radiating from the lower centre and four glazing segments. These are fitted with black opaque glazing as standard and provide a sharp contrast with the white mouldings and door finish. Clear or stippled translucent glazing can be ordered as options – allowing daylight into your garage when the door is shut. Six finely moulded rectangular panels sit below the window.

Operating Gear

Wessex offers a choice of Safelift or Slideaway lifting gear for their one piece up and over garage doors. The Safelift overhead gear is compact and simple, but leaves about one third of the door outside the garage when opened. Slideaway gear has smoother operation and allows nearly all the door to be stored inside the garage when fully opened. Slideaway gear is ideal for automation by electric operators.

Materials and Finish

All GRP garage doors from Wessex are durable and low maintenance. The Gloss White range uses a smooth, tough and very low maintenance white gloss finish for the front of the door. There are three different types of finish on the back of the door defined as 3, 4, or 5 Crowns. 3 Crown doors have an integral steel frame bonded over for extra strength and rigidity. 4 Crown doors add a smooth white semi-gloss coating to the back. 5 Crown doors have a flat textured GRP panel bonded to the back - making it extremely rigid and concealing the steel bracing. Not all doors are available in all three types - please check for availability.
