Roll-a-Glide®
Insulated Roller Door
The Gliderol Roll-A-Glide Insulated Roller Door is a high performance garage door manufactured from
aluminium foam filled laths, designed to provide thermal and acoustic insulation together with security.
Gliderol Roll-A-Glide Insulated Roller Doors are supplied with the benefits of automatic opening as standard.
Insulation
Interlocking 75mm twin walled aluminium sections containing a CFC-free insulating foam provide your door
with strength, durability and insulation properties. With space at a premium, this enables your garage to be
used as an extra room.
Security
Strength is inherent in the construction of the Gliderol Roll-A-Glide Insulated Roller door. Locking is actively
engaged by the anti-lift geometry locking straps when the door is closed.
Automation
The Roll•a•glide® motor without control box is supplied as standard. The Gliderol Roll•a•glide tubular motor
offers a 5 year warranty*, remote control operation, is virtually silent and is exceptionally smooth. Rolling code
technology ensures that security is paramount with a unique code generated each time the handset is
activated. In offering a competitive saving, the Roll•a•glide motor differs from the Somfy motor in that a control
box is not required.
Somfy motor with control box
Powered by Somfy and with an impressive 5 year warranty*, remote control operation is virtually silent and is
exceptionally smooth. Rolling code technology ensures that security is paramount with a unique code
generated each time the handset is activated. A wall mounted control box allows operation from inside the
garage, whilst a compact handset allows activation of your door from outside your garage or inside your
vehicle. For safety and convenience an automatic light illuminates your garage for up to five minutes each time
the door is operated.
Safety
All Gliderol Roll-A-Glide doors are supplied with a bottom rail safety edge, anti drop device, internal manual release and alarm as standard. The Roll-A-Glide Insulated Automatic Roller door is equipped with an auto reverse safety mechanism, if the door detects an obstruction it will stop, reverse momentarily and then stop again.
Manual Override
In the event of power failure a manual winding handle ensures that the door can be opened from inside the
garage. An external manual release is also available, as an optional extra. This manual release is compulsory
for garages where an alternative entry point is not available unless there is a battery back-up installed.
Headroom and Side Room
The tight roll of the door requires only 300mm of headroom for doors up to 3000mm in height. The Gliderol
Roll-A-Glide Insulated Roller door may be installed either within the opening if side room is limited or behind
the opening, allowing drive through access of the full opening width of the garage. Gliderol insulated roller
doors fit any shape or size of garage doorway, top or arched openings.
Space Saving
As with the Gliderol single skin roller door, the Roll-A-Glide Insulated Roller door opens vertically with no kick out making it ideal for a short driveway and to maximise the space within your garage as your vehicle can be placed right up against the door. Inside the garage the door rolls up tightly and neatly above the lintel, allowing you to additionally utilise all the roof space in your garage and maximise drive through height for taller vehicles.
Available colours
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant aluminium the Gliderol Roll-A-Glide Insulated Roller door is available in a choice of standard colours or high grade laminate woodgrain finishes. The low maintenance durable finish requires only an occasional wipe with a cloth and mild soapy water.
Optional Extras
Handset – additional handsets are available (2 are supplied as standard).
Wireless key switch – externally mounted securityswitch with three keys.
Wireless key pad – available in standard and anti-vandal providing versatility for location.
Electric photo cell – type D safety device in accordance with BS EN 12453. If the zone in the door’s path detects an obstruction it will stop, reverse momentarily and then stop again.
Battery Back-up – provides complete peace of mind by keeping the door operational in case of power failure. It also removes the necessity for an external manual release where there is no alternative access point into the garage.
