We were recently in the town of Halesworth in North Suffolk to complete the installation of these two Garador Carlton steel up & over garage doors. The customer was keen for both doors to be finished in the popular Chartwell Green colour and this gave them a clean and consistent finish that perfectly complemented the rest of their property.
The project also demonstrates that you do not need to choose between having either a manual or automated garage door - you can combine both and have the flexibility to suit how your garage is used without having to compromise on appearance.
Why Choose Up & Over Garage Doors?
Despite the many options now available to consumers, the up & over garage door remains one of the most popular models we install in Norfolk and Suffolk. Speaking to customers, they really appreciate its reliability, simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
By selecting both of their doors from the Garadoor Carlton range, this customer can expect:
- Durable steel construction
- Clean vertical ribbed design
- Smooth, reliable operation
- A wide choice of colours, including Chartwell Green

Automated Retractable Garage Door - Features and Benefits
The left-hand door of this installation features a retractable mechanism and is automated using retractable plus gear.
For customers who use their garage door frequently, automation offers a level of convenience that you simply cannot get from a manual alternative.

Manual Canopy Garage Door - Practical
On the right hand-side is a manual canopy up & over garage door. If you’re looking for a straightforward and dependable solution, this can be an excellent choice. We regularly recommend them for:
- Occasional use garages
- Homeowners looking for a cost-effective option
- Situations where a simple mechanism is preferred
Despite being manual, it matches the automated door perfectly, maintaining a consistent finish across both openings.
Chartwell Green Garage Doors - A Popular Colour Choice
Customers have never had such a wide choice of painted and timber garage door finishes to choose from. But, despite that, Chartwell Green continues to be one of the most common requests we receive.
We find that it is particularly popular when sat alongside:
- Traditional and period properties
- Timber cladding and darker extensions
- Rural and semi-rural homes
It offers a softer, more subtle tone that can add a level of character while remaining in keeping with the property.
Choosing the Right Garage Door Setup for Your Home
Taking the time to reflect upon how you use your door and the amount of space you have available are key to identifying the right door setup for your home.
For this customer, the aim was to combine both convenience and automation to create a tailored solution that perfectly balanced usability and cost.
