If the electrical connection of the house is far away from your garage, you can install a solar power kit which minimises the need for wiring, saves power and helps contribute to saving the planet.
Dexxo range is a motorised solution for sectional, sliding and up-and-over garage doors.
Do not get out of your car thanks to its quick-release and automatic closing mode remotely controlled.
This works like a roller shutter, but is significantly heavier in construction. The metal or aluminum fins roll along the roll-up tube and lock themselves at the bottom. A tubular motor provides the drive. Possibility to match the garage door to the whole facade of the house. No overhanging outside and inside which saves parking space.
This garage door is swinging around a horizontal axis, which means that there is almost no overhanging on the outside. Easy to install and to motorise, it is also possible to integrate a pedestrian door on it.
This door is made up of different horizontal strips. If you open the garage door, it slides in strip by strip at the top meaning that there is no overhanging on the inside and outside to have more parking room near the door.
It consists of several panels and opens from the side. In this model, the motorized system is chosen based on the size and weight of the door. This kind of garage door allows large opening widths. A pedestrian opening can also be managed by the motorisation.
This door has a specific design that can have 2 or 4 panels, depending on the width of the garage opening to be equipped. Its main asset is its simplicity. Hinges fixed to the wall hold each leaf in place, as well as the movement of each hinge. Each leaf can then be opened.
Before selecting your motorised system, consider the type of garage door you have: 1. Up-and-over garage door. Consists of a single panel that tilts upwards when opening. 2. Sliding garage door. Consists of multiple panels that open to the side. For this model, the motorised system is selected based on the size and weight of the door. For this type of door, Somfy recommends you use the GDK or Dexxo range. 3. Sectional garage door. Consists of multiple articulated panels that open towards the ceiling. 4. Roller garage door. Consisting of a curtain of roll-up slats, it coils into a box installed above the garage opening. For this type of door, we propose you use motorised systems especially designed for roller garage doors. 5. Swing garage door. Consists of two panels that open outwards. Swing-out garage doors most often use motorised systems with arms.
The points to check before selecting a motorised system: 1. Is there a power supply where the spot you wish to install the motor? 2. Does the door work properly? Is it in good mechanical condition and correctly balanced? 3. Is the structure of the garage (walls, lintel, partitions, etc.) in good enough shape to install a motorised system? 4. Does the garage open and close properly? 5. How much space is available to install the motor?
Somfy has made provision for adding a rechargeable back-up battery which can open and close the door 10 times in 24 hours.
