Cardale Gwent Glasswood

Style & Design
The front of Cardale’s Gwent garage door is covered in moulded vertical ribs that take on the appearance of timber boards. The door’s simple elegance combines the character of the timber effect with the efficiency of a very low maintenance surface. A Gwent garage door will complement most house styles and its choice of finishes enables it to blend with different decorative treatments of a front door and timber windows.

Operating Gear

Cardale's 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 GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) garage doors are manufactured from the mould. They have integral steel stiffeners for enhanced strength, rigidity and security. Glasswood is a highly detailed wood grain effect finish applied to the outside of the door. This offers the appearance of timber in a very low maintenance finish. Glasswood is available in white, Magnolia, Light Maple, Bleached Oak, Light Oak, Honey Beech, Hazel, Golden Brown, Dark Oak, Teak, Chestnut, Rosewood, Red Mahogany, Dark Mahogany, Bronze Sheen and Ebony wood tones. The rear of the door can be ordered in standard Premium or optional Deluxe white finish. Deluxe has an additional flowcoat applied to produce a smooth semi-gloss finish and reduce translucency. The option also includes a brass effect handle.

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.
