The Solar Automated Garage system makes it easy to automate garage doors on unpowered sites, and provides you the comfort.
There’s nothing more frustrating during a power outage than an electric garage door that won’t open. You’re left with unlocking the opener from its turn-screw drive and manually lifting the door; a back-breaking exercise if you’re old or a 100-pound woman. An independently powered garage door, working off the grid solves this problem.
Our work covers all the stages of the development of your building from the specification, advice, development, supply and installation as well as after-sales support.
Main Types [ Sectional Garage Door and Roller Shutter Garage Door]
As the most popular in Ghana, sectional garage doors are made up of panel sections that are connected with hinges. As the door opens and closes, wheels at the edge of each panel roll inside a vertical track on each side of the door opening.
The hinges between each panel section bend over a curved portion of the track. This feature allows the door to sit parallel to the ceiling when completely open or in line with the walls when completely closed.
A pair of high-tension springs above the opening are attached to cables that operate the door and hold it from drifting down when only partially open.
You’ll probably find these more in commercial applications than residential, but roll-up doors are a no-frills design option built for areas with limited ceiling space. This style is made with 2″-3″ steel slat sections that roll around a drum above the door opening.
Roll-up or coiling doors are built to withstand heavy usage and high-performance units can be built without springs or enclosed to prevent rust, corrosion, and freezing. Due to the heavy-duty nature of the roll-up model, the upfront costs are higher than a sectional design.
