Cardale Bedford Futura

Style & Design
Cardale’s Bedford brings a traditional style of solid timber garage doors right up to date. A single garage door has two panels of vertical tongue and grooved boarding with two eight pane windows above. The windows are stipple glazed and let daylight into the garage when the door is shut. Bedford double sizes have four panels and thirty two window panes. The warmth of Cedar and natural colour variations in its grain create a garage door of high quality and distinctive appearance.

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

Bedford Futura garage doors are available in Cardale’s standard single, standard double or made to measure sizes.
