Roller Garage Doors
At The Garage Door Company, we supply and install premium roller garage doors available in a wide range of styles, models and finishes. Our doors are made to measure in the UK and available in steel or aluminium, ensuring a precise fit for your home. Optional features include thermal insulation and electric opening systems, providing the perfect combination of functionality, convenience and style.
What can you expect?
You can choose from three styles of roller garage door. Each range provides similar benefits for your home, which include being very easy to use, automation options, and high levels of security.
The doors are all UK made, and because they rise vertically – either manually or via remote control – you can park just a few centimetres from the door. The laths of the door roll up, so they are unlikely to obstruct lights, meters or beams inside your garage.

Roller Garage Door Technical Information
Explore everything you need to know about our roller garage doors, from key features and design options to colours, finishes and automation.
Our Roller Doors
We offer the following types of roller doors:
Thermaglide 55 and 77
Thermaglide roller garage doors are vertically opening doors available in 55mm and 77mm deep profile options. This model is insulated, allowing for more effective heat retention and noise reduction within any given garage. The advanced security systems consist of AutoLock functionality and rolling code technology, which prevents criminal code grabbing. Each Thermaglide door is manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001 quality standards and is available in a variety of styles, colours, and finishes.
Our automated insulated Roller doors are constructed from 77mm or 55mm double walled aluminium laths filled with CFC free insulating foam , an ideal solution for those who want to improve the appearance and gain space in their garage. Known as Thermaglide 77 and 55, these insulated roller doors are strong and efficient.
In terms of customisation, all these doors are available in a range of low maintenance powdercoat and high-grade woodgrain laminate options. You’ll find that all of these colours and finishes are of exceptional quality and require very little maintenance in order for pleasing long-term aesthetics.
Thermaglide Lite
Looking for a reliable, high-quality garage door without the premium price tag?
The Thermaglide Lite is the perfect solution. As the cost-effective version of the original Cardale Thermaglide, it delivers the same trusted performance in a simplified design, ideal for those who want practicality and ease without unnecessary extras.
Unlike many cost-effective roller doors on the market, the Thermaglide Lite is manufactured to a higher standard. It features a 77mm lath as standard, providing superior strength, stability, and long-term durability compared with many competing systems that use smaller slats, which can compromise rigidity and overall performance.
In addition, the Thermaglide Lite is equipped with a safety edge as standard. This advanced feature automatically stops and reverses the door if it encounters an obstruction while closing, helping to protect you, your vehicles, and your property while ensuring compliance with the latest safety requirements. Many competing systems do not include a safety edge as standard, meaning they may not comply with the current safety requirements set by the Door & Hardware Federation.
While premium accessories and upgrades aren’t compatible with this model, it’s a fantastic choice if you’re simply looking for a solid, no-fuss solution.

Steeline
Steeline garage doors are easily accessible and highly functional single-skin roller garage doors. All single-skin roller garage doors come with optional automation functionality solutions, made possible through the LiftMaster™ LM750 EVGB side mount motor. Enhanced security mechanisms and strong support brackets mean that each Steeline door will withstand weathering and external force. Steeline single-skin roller garage doors have a patented broad profile, which is available in a wide range of colours and finishes.

Yes, our electric roller garage doors can be fitted with a manual override, allowing you to operate your door in the event of a power failure.
If your garage has no alternative entrance, an external manual override is required to ensure you can still access your garage if the power supply is interrupted. This operates using a simple hand crank, allowing you to open the door manually from outside.
If your garage has an alternative entrance, such as a side door, an external manual override is not essential, but it can still be supplied for additional peace of mind.
Our roller garage doors can be installed either internally or externally, depending on your garage layout, available headroom and personal preference.
Internal installation is the most popular option, as the roller box and mechanisms are neatly concealed inside the garage, providing a clean and tidy appearance from the outside.
However, if your garage has limited internal headroom or other space restrictions, external installation may be a suitable alternative. With this option, the roller box is fitted to the outside of the garage and will remain visible above the door opening.
On our Thermaglide 77 & Lite, for doors up to and including 3000mm wide, 70mm guides are provided. For over 3000mm wide, 90mm guides are provided. 90mm guides are available on smaller doors upon request.
On our Thermaglide 55, for doors up to and including 3000m wide, 65mm guides are provided.
Yes, with our Thermaglide 77 & Thermaglide 55, an alarm on the control unit is provided as standard. A built in vibration sensor triggers a 100dB alarm if an attempt is made to force open the door.
An alarm is not provided on the Thermaglide Lite, as this version is a entry level, cost effective version of the original Cardale Thermaglide range.
