Range
Brand Alutech offers customers the following series of gates:
- "Trend" (the gate contains panels in 40 mm);
- "Classic" (45 mm panels).
Trend is a series of profitable and affordable gates that should be chosen by those who want to save money, but at the same time acquire a quality item. Products from this series are perfect for people who live in regions with moderate climatic conditions.
If your garage is not heated, then the “Trend” door is what you need.
Gates from the Classic series are considered to be more stable and warm. They are designed specifically for those who live in cold regions. Products of this type are ideal for heated garages and even rooms with particularly high humidity.
It is best to purchase gates only from direct suppliers and in stores that are licensed to distribute Alutech products. It is highly undesirable to purchase building materials of this type on the Internet, since such items need to be inspected live.
Installation
You can install and adjust the garage doors yourself, but many experts do not recommend personally installing them, otherwise there is a risk of incorrectly installing the structure.
It is best to use the services of specialists.
Before purchasing products from the brand, be sure to measure the opening for future gates, because very often it has to be “customized” to the right dimensions and even make small repairs. Lifting gates from the brand Alutech can be installed in any garage opening thanks to several options for their installation.
Appearance
Both series of garage doors from the brand have five varieties of canvas designs:
- Microwave;
- Narrow, medium and wide corrugation;
- Panel.
You can also make a choice from two texture options:
- Smooth;
- With imitation of natural wood.
Options for natural wood are presented in the colors of cherry, dark and golden oak.
The manufacturer offers 10 basic colors of the palette, in which gates from one or another Alutech series can be made.
As additional options to the gate, you can also set:
- Built-in gate;
- Window;
- Castle system.
Control
You can open the gate with unprecedented comfort, because Alutech offers several solutions to this issue:
- Manual control;
- Automated.
With the help of a ready-made mechanism on the springs, the Alutech gate can be opened and closed manually. In order to constantly lift the canvas manually without extra effort, it is very important to install a special handle on it. On the inner side, however, a rope is necessary for more convenient closing.
As an addition to manual lifting, it is best to use a special block.. In this case, the manual lifting of the canvas will be carried out with the help of a rope, which is thrown over this block, and also mounted on the lower part of the canvas.
It is best to purchase a block if the height of the gate is more than a few meters. Adjusting such a system does not require much effort and skill.
As for the automatic control, the Alutech sectional doors can easily be equipped with automation. For many customers, this option is much more convenient than manual control, since, for example, on a rainy day, there is no need to leave the car and open the entrance.Just need to press one button on the remote, so that a special electric drive will automatically raise the door leaf.
To automate its products, Alutech brand offers high-quality automatic systems from partner companies, but for this you can choose any other brand besides those already offered. Basically, for the automation of gates, drives are used that are mounted directly under the ceiling of the garage. The gates themselves move through a special chain, which is placed in the drive rail.
To expand the possibilities of controlling garage products, special remote controls for remote control, lamps of signals and some other elements are used.
