Cardale Europa

Style & Design
Cardale’s Europa has a linear design using medium width horizontal ribbing. It creates a clean and simple effect, reinforced by narrow framing panels running vertically on each side of the door. A standard black handle is supplied or there’s a choice of optional brass effect of flush lock handles. The Europa’s understated good looks blend well with contemporary or traditional architecture.

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 Europa is available in six factory finishes:

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

Prima has a primer coat, allowing you to paint Europa 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.

Sizes

The Europa is available in Cardale’s standard single or made to measure single sizes.
