Cardale Bedford Elite

Style & Design
Cardale’s Bedford design reproduces traditional glazed and boarded garage doors in a thoroughly modern material. Eight pane stippled windows sit on top of a rectangular panel of vertical ribbing. Single doors have a pair of these panel and window combinations and double sizes have four. The brilliant white finish makes Cardale’s Elite garage doors an ideal match for white PVCu windows and front doors.

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 Elite garage doors are moulded from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and mounted on a steel frame. The resulting construction is strong and lightweight. ABS is a tough and flexible material that is highly resistant to impacts.  All of Cardale’s ABS doors are produced in a low maintenance, UV-fast brilliant white, low gloss finish. The steel frames are available in a choice of Prima primed or Plastisol coating.

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 Elite ABS is available in Cardale’s standard single or made to measure sizes.
