Unlike more familiar canopy doors, sectional garage doors do not need a frame as standard. Primarily positioned on the inner face of the garage door wall, the sectional door is designed to sit flush behind the wall and form a complete seal.

The more familiar installation of the canopy door within the reveal means that you either have to try and install the sectional door behind the existing frame or remove the frame and make good. Even if the frame is wide enough to house the sectional door vertical tracks the upper frame is more than likely to be too small and therefore the horn and horizontal tracks would be visible from outside.

Ryterna do offer a solution to this problem. We can either provide the customer with a full frame surround to replace the existing one or should you wish to keep the side frames we can supply a facia panel that matches the door. This facia panel is tailored to fit within your opening and ensure no internal track mechanism is visible from outside.

When you come home late at night and put the car in the garage, the last thing you want is to turn your headlights off and step out of the car into total darkness. Not only can it then take you 10 minutes to get out of the garage but it can also become a safety hazard.

Fortunately every Ryterna garage door operator comes as standard with an operating light. As soon as the garage door is operated the light automatically comes on and will use the internal timer to turn off again. Whilst the light will not completely illuminate the garage, it does provide sufficient enough light to safely manoeuvre around the garage.

The garage door light will automatically turn on whether you use a remote control operator, key pad or push button to open the door. Some control panels will allow additional lights to be programmed to the panel if additional lighting is required.

Ryterna garage doors are specifically designed so that every door can be used either manually or by means of automation. When taking orders for doors it is very common for customers to say they only want a manual door only for them to change their mind several weeks later.

With all Ryterna doors being prepared for either manual or electric operation as standard there is no problem if you decide you want a motor once your door is already in place. Confirmation of the headroom clearance needs to be clarified before purchasing a motor to ensure you have sufficient clearance.

Assuming there are no constraints with your headroom the installation of a garage door operator to an already installed door is very simple. Every garage door operator has a control box, motor and track which are installed and commissioned using a common British standard plug system. The control panel can be mounted in a suitable position and comes as standard with an operating light.

Ryterna are one of only a few companies that offer a complete full surround weather seal as standard on all doors.

As well as providing a compressed bottom edge weather seal, Ryterna include a weather seal on each vertical track side as well as an upper weather seal lintel section.

To further reduce the possible intrusion of wind and water, Ryterna also offer a weather seal in between every joining door panel. This ensures that even when the door is in operation the rubber seal restricts the intrusion of the outdoor elements.

Whilst the bottom edge of the door offers a compressed weather seal, in areas where the ingress of rain water is a persistent problem an additional weather strip can be positioned on the floor to assist this problem.

Unlike more conventional garage doors the Ryterna range of sectional garage doors are designed to combat the effects of heat loss. The combination of a 40mm insulated panel and a complete surround weather seal ensures any internal heat generated is preserved.

The complete surround weather seal is also accompanied by an additional weather seal that is positioned between the connection points of each panel. These seals not only ensure the internal warm air is limited from escaping but they also prevent the intrusion of wind and rain entering the garage.

As well as providing these excellent insulating values the Ryterna range of 40mm insulated panels also assist in reducing noise. Whether it is reducing the sound of next doors lawn mower or simply retaining the noise of the budding young drummers practice session in the garage, the Ryterna range of doors offer a one stop solution.

Plug and Go

Every domestic garage door operator provided by Ryterna can be installed without the need of a qualified electrician. The full range of garage door operating systems provided by Ryterna offer a simple British standard plug system.

The control box is separate from the track and motor and has a 5 metre low voltage cable that connects then together. This cable allows you to position the control panel in a preferred location.

Each motor will automatically recognise the amount of force required to open and close the door as well as identifying if any obstructions are in the way. Each motor is designed to be energy efficient in operation.

Each motor provided is compatible with a range of accessories such as keypads and automatic lighting.

When discovering that a standard size sectional garage door would take approximately 3-4 weeks to be delivered from a local supplier, it is no wonder more and more people are looking to Ryterna for their sectional door needs.

The reason people are making this choice is because although the delivery time is almost identical, Ryterna actually manufacture your door so that it is made to measure and still deliver it around the same time and sometimes even quicker. On certain occasions Ryterna have been able to deliver a made to measure door anywhere in Europe in as little as 10 working days. Whilst not being able to offer a made to measure service, some of the more familiar garage door manufacturers are also unable to deliver a door in less than 3 weeks.

Ryterna’s ever increasing network of distributors means logistically we can deliver a door anywhere in Europe either on or more frequently before our standard lead time. This delivery service is available to both trade and private customers who wish to have the garage door delivered direct to their home.

Ryterna are the market leader when it comes to providing garage doors in areas with low headroom. Our innovative range of track systems ensure we can offer the door of your choice with no installation constraints.

More traditional garage doors were installed within the reveal and therefore reduced the overall width and height of the opening. The growing use of 4×4’s and MPV’s has made garage door manufacturers re-think about their designs. Ryterna on the other hand were had already working on this issue and had quickly identified a solution. The introduction of a rear mounted torsion spring meant the standard manual garage door was able to operate in as little as 100mm of headroom. As this was a sectional door the standard installation process means it is mounted on the face of the inside of the garage wall therefore leaving the full width of the opening.

Not stopping there Ryterna continued to explore other potential room saving track systems that would allow customers to maintain their full opening in even the most congested of spaces. The introduction of the innovative R40 model door was a revolutionary breakthrough. The option to install a door in as little as 80mm of headroom and sideroom whilst not having to sacrifice any of the quality expected with a Ryterna door was welcomed by all.

Unlike most garage door providers Ryterna specifically provide garage doors that are made to measure only. With most companies happy to sell you a standard size door that either requires you to build a frame or modify the existing opening so that the door fits, Ryterna will use the dimensions provided to manufacture a door to suit.

Even when faced with an opening that offers very little headroom and sideroom, Ryterna are always able to provide a solution. Every garage door can be manufactured to accommodate either a low headroom, high lift and sloping roof track system. Whilst these features are more commonly associated to industrial doors, Ryterna has identified that even domestic customers would like to make the most of the ceiling area available.

Available in a range of panel designs offering smooth, textured and wood effect finishes as well as offering a full RAL colour chart paint choice, the Ryterna garage door range is unquestionably one of the finest garage door ranges available. With standard door available upto 6000mm wide and 3000mm in height it is clear to see why Ryterna has taken the garage door market by storm.

Anyone that tells you that dealing direct with a manufacturer is hard work has clearly never dealt with Ryterna. Having grown into one of Europe’s largest sectional door manufacturers over the past 20 years, Ryterna has never forgotten where it all began.
