Roller shutter garage door repair in Elstree

At ACE Garage Doors Repair we are often asked by our clients in Elstree whether our roller shutter garage doors are weatherproof. Although every care is taken during the manufacturing and installing process, the garage doors are not strictly weatherproof. When you think about it, a totally weatherproof door is an impossibility! This is because the various parts of the door have to move and open and close, making a total seal impossible. Having said that, we have taken every care to provide as much weather resistance as possible by including a double brush feature in the guide runners, a fully enclosed top box and a rubber seal in the last slat of the roller shutter curtain.

Having a garage that is protected from the elements is very important. Fewer people actually keep their car in a garage these days, instead they tend to use their garage as an extra storage area and the last thing you want is water getting in to damage whatever it is that's being stored. This is why choosing an ACE Garage Doors roller shutter garage door for your Elstree property is a good idea. The double brushes in the guide runners will keep out the rain and wind, as will the sealed top box with the rubber seal at the bottom compressing against the garage floor to creat a water tight seal.

The town of Elstree is probably most famous for giving its name to the Elstree Film Studios where a number of famous British films were made. The TV soap opera EastEnders is filmed at the Elstree Studios, but these are actually in nearby Borehamwood.

Elstree studios have been the home of the Big Brother house since the third series. It was announced that in 2008 the house will be moved elsewhere for the foreseeable future, however, the plan to move house will not go ahead now.

Not far from Elstree there is Aldenham Country Park is both a recreational facility and a breeding centre for rare livestock.
