Cardale Theydon Futura

Style & Design
The Theydon design from Cardale makes a feature of an arched window. This extends across the width of a single door and has radiating timber ribs in a sunrise layout. Below this, twelve vertically boarded square panels are framed by a grid of chamfer detailed Cedar. The natural colour variations in Cedar grain are used to accentuate the contrast between frame and boarding. The design and finish delivers a garage door emphasising strength, quality and character. Double sizes of the Theydon door use a pair of arched stipple glazed windows and Cedar grid frames.

Operating Gear

Cardales range of doors are designed for ease of operation using one of two types of “up and over” operating gear. Safelift Canopy (Trackless) employs no horizontal tracks protruding into the garage with the whole mechanism mounted to the fixing frame. When opened, one third of the door remains outside the opening to form a canopy. Slideaway gear allows the door to retract fully into the garage space on horizontal tracks. Maximiser Slideaway gear for single doors employs cranked arms at wing mirror height to allow extra drive thru width. 

Materials and Finish

Cardale’s Timber Futura garage doors are manufactured by hand from solid Cedar using tongue and groove boards and mouldings. They have an aluminium or steel chassis to brace the door panel. Futura garage doors are supplied in a basecoat timber treatment or fully finished in a choice of Light Oak, Mahogany, Walnut or Burnt Oak. Regular timber treatments are required to preserve timber doors and keep them looking their best.

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.

Sizes
