Sectional garage doors are more convenient and compactly swing, stronger and warmer rolling.
In the plastered houses, there are usually not framed by
For buildings, stitched by siding, smooth or shaped platbands and challenges made of metal will be suitable
The finished gate, trimmed under the tree, can be purchased only in stock stores that trade with small defects.
Purpose is possible at the walls where the petal seals are installed. Modern materials that preserve elasticity even in severe frost, allow improved heat insulation
Both dear and budget drives support the discovery function of obstacles: the meeting of the web with a barrier when closing causes a partial or complete reverse, the discovery of the obstacle in the rise cycle leads to the drive stop. The effort of the response at the end of the obstacle is accurately adjusted
The speed of the canvas is determined by the characteristics of a particular drive. In modern models, the speed of the lifting is 6-13 m / min, lowering - 6-9 m / min. The value of this parameter is artificially limited by security reasons, besides, each cycle has a smooth start and deceleration phase before stopping
Wide abnormal sinks or visor will significantly extend the life of the canvas, protecting the latter from precipitation
It is advisable to provide the second entrance to the garage (through the door). Then you will not have to raise the gate every time you need, for example, bike or tools
Such a gate is leading on the market, and in recent times inexpensive models for self-installation are most of the greatest demand. When buying such a product, questions arise: how to check its quality, correctly install and provide long service life?
Reliability of sectional gates is confirmed by many years of experience, including in conditions of high load (on car wash and shopping enterprises). However, the quality of the sets of the economyractus sometimes leaves much to be desired. The risk of acquiring marriage is much reduced, if you know the requirements for the main design sites.
When installing sectional gates, the discovery can be left without framing or additionally purchase a set of aluminum panels painted in the color of the structure.
Sectional Gate for Self-Montage
For self-installation, the lifting sectional doors of Yett Linek (Doorhan), R40 (Rytena), Standard (Alutech) and others are intended. Their most common dimensions (W × c) - 2600/2800/3000 × 2200/2800 mm, And the price starts from 35 thousand rubles. (without taking into account the drive, we will talk about separately).Electrical power
For household sectional doors, a ceiling electric drive has been developed. Its engine is located at the end of the rail guide, inside of which the belt or chain transmission is installed, transforming the rotation of the rotor into the movement of the web.
For the operation of the drive is enough motor with a traction force 500-650n. Comparatively inexpensive (13-19 thousand rubles) and reliable kits for automation of the gate, consisting of a motor engine, a pair of photo cells, a remote control and a radio signal receiver, offer Came, Hörmann, Faac.
Equip the gate of the electric drive must professionals; Service cost - 4-6 thousand rubles. Installation of additional devices (for example, photo cells) will cost 2.5-4 thousand rubles. Plus from 200 rubles. For each meter of cable laid to them.
Note that laying the cables and connect the drive better before the start of finishing works.

Sectional gates are equipped with a balancing mechanism and easily open manually, but it is more convenient to use the use of electric drive
The package includes dozens of parts, as well as assembly fasteners. Service life, insulating characteristics and burglar resistance of the structure largely depend on the version of the web (or rather - sections from which it consists). However, for long and safe operation, miniature elements of the lifting mechanism are equally important - connecting loops and driving rollers, as well as balancing springs. It is these details that are responsible for the lung and quiet opening of the gate and wear out first.

If the gate control unit is connected to the Smart Home system, control access to the garage will be able to use a mobile phone
It makes sense to provide backup power drive engine drive from the battery. When the electricity is disconnected, its charge is enough for eight - ten opening / closing cycles
Sections should be no thinner than 40 mm, made of a galvanized steel sheet with a thickness of 0.5 mm and filled with polyurethane foam. When buying, you should check their rigidity and coating resistance: make sure that the metal sheet does not bend from pressing the finger, there are no scratches and enamel scratches (they inevitably occur during transportation if the color is broken). The cheapest will cost the panel with a smooth coating of one of the standard colors. Textured by 20-30% more expensive, but it will be better fit into the appearance of a country house, besides, small scratches are less noticeable, inevitably occurring during operation. Small windows (from polycarbonate or plexiglas) will increase the cost of the structure by 15-20%, but the light will penetrate into the garage; On resistance to cracking, such inserts will practically do not affect.

When buying a gate, ask whether the manufacturer of the supply of spare parts guarantees. Some details of the design, such as stretching springs, after 4-6 years of operation has to be changed
Sealing gaskets provide protection against purge. When buying a gate should be asked for the material of the gaskets (the optimal version of ethylene-propylene rubber), as well as the conditions for their replacement under warranty and after the warranty period. Seals are short-lived, in the winter they sometimes face the metal and are rushing.
Loops, fastening sections, must be located at a distance of no more than 100 cm from each other, and the extreme is fixed directly from the side ends of the sections; Holes under the fastening screws are drilled at the factory. It is desirable that the hinges are made of stainless steel, however
And galvanized will serve at least 20 years.
Maintenance of the gate
Maintenance of the gate must be carried out each autumn, before the onset of cold weather. At the same time, the surface of the canvas should be inspecting and cutting it into places of damage (it is better to store the bottle of repair enamel in advance). It will also not hurt to check the strength of the fastening of loops and roller brackets and resume lubrication of moving elements. If necessary, eliminate the backlash and noise by adjusting the position of the rollers (if such an opportunity is provided for design) and guides.
For section gates are very dangerous. The simplest way to protect from her is to arrange a visor over the opening. If it is impossible to do this, you will have to follow meteo conditions and, if necessary, shoot down from the web and puffed snow or put it from the inside the heat gun, and also to clean the snow in front of the gate to avoid the face of the lower seal to the floor.
The driving rollers are mounted using special brackets on the edges of the sections. These parts must be equipped with soft rubber "tires" with a height of at least 15 mm. Plastic rollers are strongly noisy when moving and often broken, and thin and too soft rims for 5-6 years are completely wear out. Qualitative guides, or rails, made from galvanized steel with a thickness of at least 1.5 mm.

The most common method of installation in which the guides are fastening from the inside to the frontal wall of the garage (A), however, in narrow rooms it is possible to mount to the side walls (b). If the cloth does not cover the discharge, the clearance is closed by P-shaped profiles painted in the color of the sections
The balancing mechanism of the gate of the budgetary series consists of a pair of single or twined (one in the other) springs of stretching, which are located on the sides of the opening and are connected to the lower edge of the canvas by means of a steel cable system, percked through blocks. This mechanism is simple and inexpensive, it is not difficult to install it even alone (torsion spring, used in more massive structures, more complicated in the installation, as it is divided by a special tool). The package must include plastic or tin protective housings for springs (sometimes they are sold separately); Without them, the mechanism is essential. In addition, braking devices are needed, which will prevent the drop in the canvas when the sprinkle or cable breaks. As a rule, the lower roller brackets are used for this purpose.
Installation of sectional doors
Any door opening scheme implies certain requirements for the planning of the room and / or the shape of the outline (which is why the design type is better to choose before the construction of the garage). However, only too low or continuing (suspended) ceiling can be a serious interference to mount sectional models. As for the form of the day, it can be any, including arched.
Sectional gates are mounted from the inside the folding on the disc, so at the measurement of the latter is permissible for a minor (10-50 mm) error in the old side. The surfaces to which the guides will be mounted, as well as the floor in the place of the adjustment of the gate cannon you need to thoroughly align.

To control the gate from the inside of the house, you can use a wired pushbutton switch, but it is easier to purchase an additional remote control and install it on a stationary stand
Assembling guides (each consists of two straight and one curved areas) does not represent complexity. Vertical segments are equipped with nicknames with sealing linings and fasten to the walls; The exact distance between the rails helps to set the upper horizontal jumpers (the so-called remote bar). Horizontal sites hang to the ceiling on adjustable brackets. In the process of installation, the position of the design is controlled by roulette (in order to prevent diagonal distortions), as well as bubble and hydroeer or laser level. For fastening parts, screws and dowels are used, the choice of length and the diameter of which depends on the material of the walls and the ceiling, and the step is set by the manufacturer.

The place of adjoining the canvas to the floor (A, B), as well as the connections of the sections with each other (d) are reliated. Purpose is possible at the walls (B), where petal seals are installed. Modern materials that preserve elasticity even in severe frost, allow improved heat insulation
The next step is the assembly of the sectional canvas. The panels in turn are installed in the plane of the loop, equipped with roller brackets and connected with loops. After that, it is necessary to manually lift the cloth under the ceiling, and then mounted and adjust the balancing mechanism. With proper configuration, the effort on the rise should be within 2-4 kgf.
Credit with the installation of the gate alone is difficult (it will be especially difficult to produce the necessary measurements and install sections); It is better to perform work together.
In serial sets for self-assembly section Painted in white, cream, gray or brown
The lock will ensure reliable locking of the gate. From the inside it is controlled by a handle with a push-button block, and outside the key with the key. The mechanism can be fixed in the "Open" position and serve to unlock the drive (these functions are required on an automated gate). The lock is sold separately, it is not difficult to install it yourself
The simplest goal provides reliable locking from the inside of the garage
Spring balancing mechanism is a danger, so it should be closed with metal or plastic linings
The cylinder lock is an almost mandatory element of the gate without an electric drive. Often, automated designs are equipped with mechanical locks to ensure their reliable locking for long departures.
The range of modern radiopults - up to 150 m. Devices emit a so-called floating signal that cannot be considered
