Round the Corner garage doors were amongst the earliest varieties of garage doors popularised in the UK market. Often constructed from timber, panels are inserted onto top-hung rollers and guided through floor tracks to follow the desired path.

Older models suffered from issues with obstructions to the floor tracks, with leaves, stones and other unwanted debris getting stuck. Technical developments in the garage door industry mean that this is no longer a concern, making Round the Corner doors a truly desirable aspect of any property.

Round the Corner doors operate seamlessly, with manual or electric operation available. The effective and innovative engineering involved means these doors require little maintainence.

All 3 German manufacturers produce Round the Corner doors as a complete unit, assembled in a controlled environment. All employ a bottom tracking system which is installed onto a finished garage floor surface. This bottom track also acts as a weather bar, to help keep the elements at bay.

The dimensions feature a degree of tolerance built-in, which allows for uneven floors. The bottom tracks are heavy duty, designed to be both attractive and functional, with regular vehicle use expected.

Rundum Meir also offer a sunken 'U' channel version of their door, if required, which offers an improved bottom seal at the bottom edge of the door. Since Round the Corner doors are all top-hung, the bottom roller only acts as part of the guiding system for the bottom of the garage door.

Round the Corner doors can be produced in timber or steel, depending on the manufacturer. Either material can be easily maintained and looked after, adding to the low-maintainence qualities of Round the Corner doors. Also, both materials are suitable for automation.

The range of timbers available includes Norwegian Spruce, Superior Spruce, European Oak, Larch, Iroko, Mahogany, and Douglas Fir. Availability differs between manufacturers; our experts will be able to advise further.
