Durability

Garage Door Profiles are manufactured from hot dipped galvanised steel with a coating weight of 275g/m2, in line with other common lightweight steel structural building products.

This gives good protection in most exposed internal environments, and for external use in moderate marine environments. Where sections are exposed to salt spray but not rain washing, maintenance is required to remove any build-up of salt deposits on the surface.

Run-off from, or contact with, materials which are incompatible with zinc should be avoided.

Handling and Storage

Garage Door Profiles must be kept dry during storage as water present between close stacked sections will cause premature corrosion. If they become wet, they should be separated and stacked openly to allow for ventilation to dry the surface.

Lengths

Garage Door Profiles are available in a mix of run to order and stock lengths, refer to the Profile Order Form below.

Cutting

Cutting onsite is preferably done by tin snips, hacksaw, or cold cut saw. When using abrasive disc blades care must be taken to ensure the swarf produced does not affect other materials and the burred edge should be cleaned off at the completion of cutting, followed by a coat of zinc-rich cold galvanised spray.
