Cardale Gatcombe

Style & Design
Cardale’s Gatcombe features a framed vertical ribbed design. It is differentiated by an inclined linear profile at the top of the door that slopes up from each side to a point in the middle. The Gatcombe combines soft narrow ribs within a classical frame to produce a garage door that sits well with many house styles.

Operating Gear

Cardale’s single sized doors are fitted with canopy or retractable lifting gear. Double sizes use retractable gear. Retractable gear allows nearly all the door to be stored inside the garage when fully opened. Canopy leaves up to one third outside, but has no tracks projecting into the garage space. Cardale’s canopy gear is called Safelift and there are two versions of retractable gear: Slideaway and optional Maximiser II with cranked lifting arms. The Maximiser II creates a wider drive through space for vehicles when its lifting arms fully open the garage door.

Materials and Finish

Cardale’s steel garage doors are manufactured from premium grade galvanised steel. A number of treatments are added to produce a corrosion resistant garage door. The Gatcombe is available in six factory finishes:

• Prima
• Weatherwhite
• Weatherblack
• Weatherbrown
• Weathergrain Golden Oak
• Weathergrain Rosewood

Prima has a primer coat, allowing you to paint Gatcombe doors in your choice of colour. Weatherwhite, Weatherblack, Weatherbrown and Weathergrain are Plastisol coatings. These are very durable and resistant to fading or colour change. They provide a low maintenance finish on the outside of the door. 

Automation

Cardale’s up and over canopy and retractable doors can be automated with electric operator kits. These are summarised in our Automation product descriptions.
