Garador GaraRoll with Full Hood Smooth Finish (13 Colour Options) Insulated Roller door garage door Aluminium Garador

Garador GaraRoll Insulated Electric Aluminium Roller Garage Door

The Garador GaraRoll is an electrically operated, insulated aluminium roller garage door designed for everyday convenience and a neat finish. The door lifts vertically and the curtain rolls into a compact box at the head of the opening, so you keep your garage ceiling clear for storage, lights and loft access.

Space-saving design

Because the door rolls up rather than swinging out or running back on overhead tracks, it’s a strong choice where driveway space is tight or you park close to the garage. It also works well when you want to keep the full depth of the garage usable without up-and-over arms or sectional tracks getting in the way.

Insulated aluminium slats

The curtain is made from double-skinned, foam-filled aluminium slats, which helps reduce draughts and takes the harsh “tinny” feel out of a thin metal door. If your garage is attached to the house or used as a workshop, the insulation and tighter sealing makes a noticeable difference compared to a basic non-insulated door.

Electric operation and safety

GaraRoll doors are electrically operated as standard, with remote control operation for day-to-day use and an internal wall control unit. The operator includes force limitation, so if the door meets an obstruction it will stop and reverse, which is an important safety feature on an automated door.

Power cut access

In a power cut, the door can be disengaged and operated manually from inside the garage. If you don’t have another access door into the garage, it’s worth adding an external emergency release so you can still get in and operate the door from outside when needed.

Guide rails, sealing and wind stability

The curtain runs in sturdy guide rails and seals down to the floor with a rubber bottom seal, helping with draughts, leaves and light rain splash. The GaraRoll uses 110mm wide guide rails as standard, which gives the curtain good stability and a solid feel in use.

Looks and finish options

From the outside, a full hood cover gives a tidy, finished look around the coil and barrel. There are multiple factory finishes available (including smooth and timber-effect options), so it’s usually straightforward to match windows, front door colours or existing garage trims.

Measuring and fitting (what to know)

Roller doors are ordered to the opening size (between the guides, and the guide height), not the overall space taken up by the guides and head box. Always check your headroom and side room before ordering, especially if there are pipes, beams or a stepped lintel, and make sure the opening is square and the floor is level for the best seal.

Who it suits best

• Homes where you want quick electric operation without the door swinging out over the drive.
• Garages where keeping the ceiling clear matters (storage, lighting, or low headroom).
• Attached garages where insulation and improved sealing are more relevant.
• Coastal or damp areas where aluminium’s corrosion resistance is a practical advantage.

The Garador GaraRoll can be personalised with a range of functional and security options to suit your specific needs.

Colour choice

The door is available in a range of durable powder-coat finishes. The inside of the curtain is always finished in the same colour as the outside for a neat appearance.

• Traffic White (RAL 9016) – Standard finish
• Ruby Red (RAL 3003)
• Steel Blue (RAL 5011)
• Moss Green (RAL 6005)
• Terra Brown (RAL 8028)
• Black (RAL 9005)
• Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016)
• White Aluminium (RAL 9006)

• Cream (RAL 9001)
• Light Ivory (RAL 1015)
• Grey Aluminium (RAL 9007)
• Noir 2100 Sable (Anthracite Metallic) – A distinct metallic textured finish
• Timber-effect finishes: Golden Oak and Rosewood (foil coat finish) - see other models online

External emergency release

If your garage has no other entrance door (side or rear access), an external emergency release is an essential safety option. This lockable device allows you to disengage the motor from the outside and operate the door manually in the event of a power cut or motor failure. Without this, you would be locked out of the garage if the power fails.

Acoustic door security kit

For additional peace of mind, an acoustic alarm can be specified. This unit detects if the door is being forced open and sounds a loud (110dB) alarm to deter intruders. It integrates neatly with the door control system.

Extra hand transmitters

The GaraRoll comes with two hand transmitters as standard. You can order additional transmitters for other family members or to keep as spares. We offer:

• 5 Channel Standard Black: A classic full-size remote handset.
• 4 Channel Mini Black: A compact remote convenient for keyrings.

Manually operated version

Although the GaraRoll is an electric door by design, a manually operated version is available for locations without power. Unlike many other manual roller doors that use a slow crank handle, the GaraRoll manual version is spring-balanced, meaning it can be lifted and lowered by hand (using handles on the curtain) with very little effort.

Warranty

Covered by Garador's 10 year limited warranty on the door curtain, guides and operating mechanism, subject to correct installation and normal domestic use.

Installation guidance (DIY overview)

The Garador GaraRoll can be installed by a competent DIYer with reasonable tools and mechanical knowledge, but roller door installation does require careful preparation, accurate measuring and attention to detail. Two people are essential for safe handling and positioning of the components.

Before you start

Read the full fitting instructions supplied with the door before starting work. Check you have all components and fixings listed, and make sure the structural opening is square, plumb and level – any distortion will affect how well the door runs and seals. The floor must be level and firm where the bottom seal sits, otherwise you will have gaps and poor weather resistance.

Confirm you have adequate headroom above the opening for the head box and rolled curtain, sufficient side room for the guide rails and fixing clearances, and a suitable mains power supply for the electric operator (230V AC supply, protected by an RCD).

Installation overview

Mark out and fix the guide rails: The guide rails must be vertical, parallel and spaced to the correct width. Use a spirit level and plumb line to ensure accuracy, then fix securely using appropriate fixings for your wall type.

Assemble and position the head box: The head box assembly (containing the motor, curtain barrel and spring mechanism) is usually pre-assembled. Lift it into position at the head of the opening and fix securely through the mounting brackets. The motor must always be on the left-hand side as viewed from inside the garage looking out.

Fit the curtain into the guides: Feed the bottom slat and curtain down into the guide rails, making sure each slat engages properly and runs smoothly without twisting or binding.

Tension and adjust: Adjust the spring tension according to the fitting instructions to balance the door properly. Check the door opens and closes smoothly by hand before connecting the power.

Connect the power and program the operator: Wire the operator to the mains supply (this must be done by a competent person in accordance with wiring regulations). Program the limit switches so the door stops in the correct open and closed positions, and set up the force limitation to ensure safe operation.

Fit the fascia and test: Once the door is running correctly, fit the full hood fascia cover and any finishing trims. Run the door through several full cycles to check it opens and closes smoothly, seals properly at the bottom, and that the safety reversal function works correctly.

Tools typically required

Electric drill with masonry and metal bits, spirit level (long level recommended), tape measure, screwdrivers, spanners or socket set, plumb line or laser level, adjustable wrench, safety glasses and gloves, step ladder or work platform.

Important safety notes

The head box and curtain are heavy – always use two people and proper lifting techniques. Springs are under tension, so follow the fitting instructions carefully and do not attempt to adjust or remove springs unless instructed. Electrical work must be carried out by a competent person and comply with current wiring regulations (IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671).

Do not use the door until all safety features have been tested and confirmed working. Keep hands, tools and objects clear of the door during operation and testing.

When to consider professional installation

While DIY installation is possible, professional installation by a Garador approved installer is recommended if you are not confident working at height or handling heavy components, if the opening is not a straightforward square aperture, if you are not familiar with mains electrical work or programming automated systems, or if you want the installation covered by an installer's workmanship warranty.

After installation

Keep the fitting instructions and wiring diagrams safe for future reference. Register your door with Garador to activate the manufacturer's warranty. Carry out periodic checks and light maintenance such as cleaning guide rails, checking the bottom seal and lubricating moving parts as per the maintenance instructions. Do not attempt repairs or adjustments to springs, motor or electrical components unless you are qualified – contact a Garador approved engineer for servicing and repairs.
