Carteck Georgian (39 Colour Options) Insulated Sectional Door garage door Steel Carteck

CarTeck Made to Measure Georgian Panelled Insulated Sectional Door

The CarTeck Made to Measure Georgian Panelled door is the obvious choice when dealing with non standard openings on properties that need a traditional look. The raised cassette panel design delivers a classic, symmetrical appearance that sits comfortably next to period homes, country cottages, and brick built townhouses, completely removing the heavy upkeep timber doors demand. Because this model is built to your exact millimetre dimensions rather than a standard factory size, you do not have to mess around with large infill fascias to cover awkward gaps. It is a modern steel sectional door that behaves brilliantly, but visually it respects the character of older properties.

The exterior panels feature a textured woodgrain finish that handles the British weather exceptionally well, offering a much more authentic traditional appearance than a flat painted surface. With 39 standard colours available, finding a close match for your existing window frames, brickwork, or entrance door is straightforward. Going down the made to measure route means you get the absolute maximum drive through width and height available for your specific garage.

Why insulated sectional works for British garages

Having a 40mm double skin insulated steel panel makes a massive difference in a typical UK garage. When you combine that thick panel with heavy duty perimeter sealing at the frame, between the individual sections, and across the threshold floor, it keeps out cold draughts, driving rain, and dust far better than a basic up and over door. The vertical lift action means the door pulls straight up and back into the garage roof space with no outward swing. This is ideal for shorter driveways as you can park a car right up to the door without needing to leave clearance room for it to open.

If your garage is attached to the house or has a bedroom above it, that 40mm insulation also helps take the edge off heat loss from the main property. A dry, reasonably insulated garage becomes a much more usable space for a workshop, home gym, or utility room, whilst being kinder to any stored tools and vehicles.

Security strength and active anti force protection

When looking at keeping the garage secure, the physical construction of these bespoke CarTeck doors offers serious resistance to break ins. The sheer strength of the 40mm thick double skin steel panels creates a highly rigid physical barrier once closed, making it exceptionally tough for anyone to force the door leaf itself.

The security levels step up significantly when you pair the door with a CarTeck DRIVE or MOTOR electric operator. These motors feature a mechanical anti force system built directly into the overhead boom rail. If someone attempts to lever the bottom of the door upwards, the motor instantly detects this forced movement and actively pushes back down with 60kg of force. This active resistance is a highly effective deterrent, giving you solid peace of mind that your belongings are properly protected.

Key features

• Made to measure sizing: Manufactured exactly to your millimetre opening requirements, giving you the absolute maximum drive through space with a tight, draught free fit
• 40mm insulated steel panels: Double skin construction offers day to day physical durability and reliable security
• Tested thermal efficiency: Whole door U value of 1.38 W/m²K independently tested on standard sizes, keeping the cold weather out
• Maximum weather protection: Heavy duty rubber seals between the panels, against the side frames, and along the floor threshold stop wind and moisture
• Fully certified: Independently tested to current safety, wind, water, and air performance standards under BS EN 13241 for CE and UKCA marking

Window and glazing options

There is a solid range of factory fitted window designs available that are specifically sized to sit neatly within the Georgian cassette layout. You can choose from simple square or rectangular units, or go for stainless steel portholes and full width vision sections if you prefer a slightly more contemporary twist on the classic design. The glazing itself uses a double pane scratch resistant polymer, available in clear, satin, frosted, or tinted finishes to help you get the right balance between natural daylight and privacy from the street.

Reliable electric operation

Daily use is effortless with the CarTeck DRIVE and MOTOR electric operators, which run quietly and very smoothly. They have automatic force monitoring built in, meaning if the door meets an unexpected obstruction while closing, it instantly stops and reverses to prevent any damage. Your everyday control options include handheld remote fobs, internal wall buttons, wireless numeric keypads, and smart app control using SOMweb or myQ so you can check the door status or open it straight from your mobile phone.

Colours and exterior finishes

• 39 standard colours: A genuinely useful palette tailored for the UK market, covering the most popular greys, blacks, creams, and realistic wood effects
• Custom RAL matching: Doors can be painted in almost any custom RAL colour if you need an exact match for existing front doors or window frames
• Woodgrain surface only: To provide the best long term durability and authentic traditional looks, this Georgian model comes exclusively in a textured woodgrain exterior finish, which handles exposed weather conditions better than flat smooth surfaces
• Colour matched frames: Optional frame cover profiles are available so the side legs and head match the door panels exactly

Spring mechanism and running gear

For made to measure sizes up to 5500mm wide, the lifting springs are pre tensioned and tucked safely out of the way high up in the horizontal tracks. This layout keeps the mechanical parts tidy and stops them from eating into your usable wall space inside the garage. The precision running gear delivers a well balanced, quiet action that does not put any unnecessary strain on the electric motor. Both the doors and the operators are tested together as a complete system before receiving their CE or UKCA marking, meaning you are investing in a fully certified setup rather than a mix and match of different brands.

Choose Door Panel Colour Finish:
Select your preferred powdercoat colour finish from 22 of our most popular colours in either a smooth, woodgrain, Stucco or Micro profile finish, all at no additional cost.
Where the door is exposed to direct and lengthy sunlight darker colours should be avoided.

Frame legs and Head to match door colour:
Choose the colour you require for the outer steel frame system. Although many sectional garage doors are fitted behind the garage opening so you don’t see the sub frame you will still see the edge of the frame where it has a small return section. Standard colour is white and if any of the frame is showing or it is fitted inbetween you can contrast the door colour to the door panel colour if required.

Installation Position:
Tell us whether you are fitting the door behind or inbetween the structural opening.
Sectional garage doors were originally designed to install behind the structural opening of a garage but it is now possible to fit the door inbetween if required – when there are no returns, internal obstacles, etc.
The sizes for ordering should be carefully calculated when fitting inbetween the opening reducing the ordering width by the frame legs and head section along with a tolerance for fitting too. See our ‘Measure’ tab for full details.

Inbetween Opening Installation Kit:
If fitting the door inbetween the structural opening you will need this kit to secure the steel sub frame to the opening with the special set of bracketry.

Choose Remote Control Operator Model
We highly recommend the Carteck Drive 600Nm electric operator for the Carteck Sectional door range. The 600NM is only a fraction more than the 500Nm but it is 33% faster in opening speed and more powerful too obviously and hence our operator of choice for this door range.
The standard Carteck Drive 600Nm is a one piece integrated unit with boom, motor and control in one unit to mount above the door. The Drive Pro 600Nm has a separate control unit than can be mounted wherever is most convenient in your garage to suit.
Both systems have remote control operation as standard and both have an integrated courtesy LED light built in which operated when the motor is used and switches off automatically. Add options for additional control as required from our options list

Emergency External Release for garages with a second entrance:
If you have no other means of access into your garage then we strongly advise you have an emergency manual release mechanism. It is a key cylinder operated from the outside of the door which provides a manual facility to disengage the motor drive from the door enabling the door to be lifted manually when there is a power failure.

Wireless 2 function Wall Switch:
This is a remote control device in the form of a wall mounted 2 button switch to control one or 2 garage doors from inside your garage or home. Like a light switch but without and cables and a battery remote control signal for operation. (Called Access Pack 2).

Control door via app
Use voice commands to open or close your garage
Up to 10 operators with one SomWeb
Receive notifications of door movements via app.
Optional video function via video plug in with live stream of door movement.

Designed and Built for UK Properties

CarTeck sectional doors are engineered specifically to handle the demands of British homes. They are built to cope with our unpredictable climate, offering solid weather protection, excellent physical security, and high levels of thermal efficiency. What sets CarTeck apart is their approach to sizing. Instead of forcing you into a handful of standard dimensions, they manufacture these doors as a purpose made, exact to measure fit for your specific garage. Whether you have a compact single garage at 2 metres wide, or a massive double opening up to 8 metres across, the door is built to fit the space seamlessly.

40mm Insulated Panel Construction

The door itself uses an eight layer construction based around 40mm thick panels. These are made from two 0.4mm galvanised steel skins bonded tightly to a highly stable insulated foam core. This is finished off with heavy duty adhesion primers and a sealed top coat to make sure the surface stands up to daily wear and tear. Because of this robust build, the complete door achieves an independently tested thermal insulation U-value of 1.38 W/m²K, while the panels on their own test incredibly well at 0.56 W/m²K.

Heavy Duty Weather Sealing

To keep the weather outside where it belongs, comprehensive rubber sealing runs right around the door. You will find flexible seals at the top frame header, straight down both side legs, and running horizontally between every single door panel. Across the floor, a heavy duty rubber threshold seal finishes the job. If your garage floor is not completely level, Teckentrup can even manufacture a bespoke sloping bottom panel to match the floor angle precisely. On top of that, the vertical steel frame legs sit on a special plastic base foot, which keeps the steel off the damp floor and stops rust from creeping up the frame.

Tested and Certified Performance

Every CarTeck sectional door goes through independent testing and carries both CE and UKCA marking, meaning it fully complies with current safety and building regulations. These doors are built to handle the daily grind of residential use while meeting strict European performance standards across the board.

The Widest Colour Choice Available

CarTeck gives you the widest standard colour choice on the UK sectional door market, making it simple to find an exact match for your property. There are 50 standard UK colours ready to go, broken down into 20 Trend colours, 20 Trend+ colours, 6 Satin options (which carry a small extra cost), and 4 very realistic wood effect finishes.

If none of those 50 standard options work for you, CarTeck can also finish your door in ANY custom RAL colour for an additional charge, giving you complete flexibility.

20 Trend Colours (Standard 30% Gloss and Special Effects)

20 Trend+ Colours (Standard 30% Gloss)

6 Trend Satin Colours (10% Gloss Extra Cost)

4 Wood Effects

Frame Colour Options

As standard, the fixing frame legs and head section come in a smooth White finish (RAL 9016). If the frame is going to be visible once installed, you can choose a colour matched upgrade at an extra cost. This allows the frame to blend in perfectly with the door, or you can choose a contrasting colour if that suits the design of the property better.

Made to Measure Sizing Categories

Because these doors are made to measure, they are built to the exact millimetre you need. To make things clear, the sizes are broken down into three categories depending on the scale of your opening:

Installation Position and Ordering Measurements

The standard and most straightforward way to install these doors is fitting behind the reveal (inside the garage, behind the brickwork). This method means no fixing holes are visible on the front of the frame.

Fitting Between the Brickwork Opening:
If you need to fit the door directly between the brickwork pillars, you will need to add the Inbetween Opening Installation Kit. This adapts the steel frame for a between fit. When fitting this way, the frame legs will have visible factory drilled holes that you will need to cover with a cloaking strip (which is not included). When calculating your ordering width for a between fit, you need to deduct 180mm from your structural opening width, and always remember to allow for some fitting tolerance so you are not squeezing it in tight.

Height Deductions for Ordering:
When ordering an electrically operated door, deduct 140mm from your opening height to get the correct ordering height. If you are using the optional twist fix header bracket, that deduction drops to 120mm. If you are ordering a manually operated door, deduct 120mm.

Please note that for any door heights over 2250mm, the frame legs cannot be supplied undrilled.

Hardware Options

Handle: These doors do not come with an external handle as standard. If you are planning to use the door manually rather than with an electric motor, you will need to add a handle option to your order.

External Emergency Release: If the garage has no other way in, an external emergency release is fitted as standard in the top left hand corner, allowing you to manually open the door from the outside in the event of a power cut.

Springs and Lifting Gear

On the standard size doors up to 5500mm wide, CarTeck uses a market leading spring system with the lifting springs completely concealed high up in the horizontal tracks. This keeps the mechanism tidy and delivers an incredibly smooth and quiet operation. On the larger XL and SuperSize models, the system changes to heavy duty rear mounted torsion springs with reinforced panel profiles to safely handle the extra weight of the massive door leaves. Regardless of size, all the doors use strong galvanised steel roller blocks and ball bearing runners to make sure the door runs quietly and lasts for years.

Electric Automation

Teckentrup matches these doors with smart, highly capable electric operators. These motors actively monitor the force needed to move the door, and crucially, they feature an active anti force system that pushes back with 60kg of force if someone tries to lever the door open from the bottom. The CarTeck DRIVE and CarTeck MOTOR units give you smooth, reliable operation, built in LED lighting, and options for smart home control straight from your phone.

CarTeck Drive 600N: The Drive 600N motor has plenty of power to lift any door within the standard size range. The control unit and drive sit neatly above the door, using a fixed chain drive system which is noticeably quieter and much more reliable long term than traditional moving belt or revolving chain designs.

Safer, Simpler Installation with Preloaded Tension Springs

Unlike many other sectional garage doors that rely on complex and potentially dangerous high-tension torsion springs mounted directly above the door, the CarTeck system utilises a far safer, multi-spring tension system.

To make installation as straightforward and safe as possible, all single layer spring trays for standard CarTeck doors are now supplied fully pre-assembled straight from the factory. The high level tension springs come preloaded within their fully enclosed steel trays, complete with the lifting cables already perfectly routed and retained by anti-twist brackets. This incredibly smart design not only prevents dirt from entering the mechanism, boosting durability, but it also dramatically speeds up the installation process on site. The multiple spring system evenly balances the weight of the door panels, whilst the dual retaining cables reliably support the door in all situations, meaning it remains safe and operational even in an emergency. Because the springs are safely housed within these steel channels, tensioning the door is significantly safer and easier than wrestling with an exposed torsion spring bar.

How to Measure for Your Made to Measure CarTeck Sectional Door

Measuring for a made to measure CarTeck sectional garage door ensures you get the absolute best fit for your garage, maximising your drive through width and height. Unlike standard size doors, these are manufactured to your exact specifications. All CarTeck sectional doors are ordered by their internal structural opening dimensions (the actual drive through width and height). The steel installation frame is always calculated as an addition or reduction to these internal dimensions, depending on your chosen installation position.

For quick visual reference, please refer to the 3D technical drawings located in the image gallery at the top of this page. These clearly show how the frame fits in relation to the opening.

Measuring for a Behind the Opening Fit (Standard)

This is the ideal and most common way to install a sectional door. The door and its steel framework sit entirely on the inner face of the garage wall, keeping the mechanics hidden and maximising the opening size.

• Width: Measure the brick to brick width of your garage opening in several places. Your ordering width is simply the exact smallest of these measurements.
• Height: Measure from the finished floor level to the underside of the lintel. Your ordering height is this exact measurement.
• Check your clearances: Because the frame sits entirely behind the brickwork, you must ensure you have sufficient internal space. You will need a minimum of 85mm to 90mm of clear sideroom on both the left and right sides of the opening to accommodate the frame legs.
• Check your headroom: You must also have a minimum of 120mm of clear headroom between the underside of the lintel and the ceiling to accommodate the top track and motor (this increases to 140mm for very large doors requiring double springing or if opting for XL and SuperSize dimensions).

Measuring for an Inbetween the Opening Fit

If you do not have internal brickwork returns, the door must be installed directly between the brick pillars using the optional Inbetween Opening Installation Kit.

• Width: Measure your brick to brick opening. To find your exact ordering width, you must deduct 180mm from this opening size (this allows for the two frame legs and a necessary fitting tolerance).
• Height: Measure your floor to lintel height. To find your exact ordering height, you must deduct 120mm (if installing a manual door or using the additional low headroom bracket) or deduct 140mm (for standard electric operation without the special bracket).

Important Depth Check

Sectional doors travel horizontally back into the garage space along the ceiling. It is essential to check that your garage is deep enough to accommodate the full length of the horizontal tracks and the motor boom. Ensure you have clear, unobstructed space running back into the garage equivalent to the height of the door plus approximately 350mm to 600mm.
