Garador carlton steel side hinged garage doors

Garador Carlton Steel Side-Hinged Garage Door

Classic Design Meets Timeless Elegance

The Garador Carlton represents understated sophistication through its clean, vertical line design that delivers enduring aesthetic appeal for UK homes. Featuring crisp vertical ribbing across the entire door surface, this classic single-skin steel door creates subtle shadow lines and textural interest that enhance your property's facade without overwhelming its character. The vertical rib profile provides both structural integrity and visual depth, with evenly-spaced vertical lines running the full height of each door leaf.

Manufactured to exacting standards by Garador, one of Europe's leading garage door specialists, the Carlton combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision. The single-skin steel construction delivers reliable security and weather protection whilst maintaining an accessible price point, making quality side-hinged doors available to more UK homeowners.

Ideal for UK Single Garages

The Carlton's standard sizing makes it perfectly suited for typical UK single garage openings. The side-hinged opening configuration maximises usable garage space compared to up-and-over alternatives, allowing you to store items right up to the door opening without obstruction. This space efficiency is particularly valuable in single garages where every inch counts. The outward-opening design means no internal tracking or mechanisms, preserving full ceiling height for storage whilst eliminating potential mechanical failures common with sectional or roller systems.

For homeowners wanting convenient pedestrian access without fully opening the garage, the Carlton's hinged doors provide quick entry and exit - ideal for accessing garden tools, bicycles, or sports equipment stored inside. This practical everyday benefit makes the Carlton an intelligent choice for active UK households. The 20mm insulated construction offers thermal efficiency that helps regulate garage temperatures year-round, protecting stored vehicles and equipment from extreme temperature fluctuations whilst potentially reducing heating costs if the garage adjoins your home.

The Carlton combines security features expected from a leading European manufacturer with user-friendly operation. Multi-point locking systems provide robust protection against forced entry, whilst the smooth hinge mechanism ensures reliable daily use without the maintenance demands of motorised alternatives. This balance of security, convenience, and low-maintenance operation makes the Carlton an exceptional value proposition for UK homeowners seeking quality without compromise.

16 RAL Colour Options for Perfect Integration

Available in 16 carefully selected RAL colours, the Carlton can be matched to complement any UK property style. From classic whites and sophisticated greys to bold contemporary colours, the extensive palette ensures your garage door enhances rather than detracts from your home's kerb appeal. The colour is applied with durable coating technology that resists fading, chipping, and weathering, maintaining its appearance through years of UK weather exposure.

• Full-Width Access: Both doors open fully, providing unrestricted access for vehicles, equipment, and materials
