The garage is the “back room” of the house and garden, where we not only park the car, but often also store some tools, gardening equipment, camping or hiking equipment, sports accessories or our children’s outdoor toys. Whether stand-alone or integrated with the building, it needs to be properly secured with a garage door. How to choose the right door for your garage? Discover 10 features you should pay attention to when buying a garage door.
1. Energy efficiency
A warm garage door primarily means energy savings, translating into lower electricity bills, and greater user comfort. WIŚNIOWSKI garage doors stand out for their excellent thermal insulation parameters. They are products recommended for energy-efficient and even passive buildings.
2. Long-lasting durability
How long should a good garage door last? A guarantee of 25,000 opening–closing cycles means almost 17 years of safe use of WIŚNIOWSKI garage doors.
3. User safety
Make sure that the selected garage door is safe to use. The high safety standard of WIŚNIOWSKI garage doors is ensured by a number of well-thought-out solutions: special panel shape, cable break safety devices, an integrated system of safeguards preventing the garage door leaf from dropping in case of torsion spring breakage, and photocells. The CE mark confirms that WIŚNIOWSKI garage doors meet the highest safety standards.
4. Property protection
A garage door is not only a convenient closure for the garage but also a security element for the home, protecting it from unwanted visitors. The option of equipping a WIŚNIOWSKI garage door with an RC2-class anti-burglary security package provides an additional protection system that makes unauthorized access to the garage more difficult. The prestigious IFT Rosenheim certificate awarded to WIŚNIOWSKI garage doors in the RC2 burglary resistance class guarantees safety.
5. Broad arrangement possibilities
The design of the garage door matters. It is the largest element of the building’s joinery, influencing the appearance of the entire investment. WIŚNIOWSKI garage doors combine functionality and beauty, reflecting the latest design trends. The possibility of manufacturing doors in RAL colours and wood-effect finishes, combined with a wide range of ribs, textures, glazings, and decorative elements, offers broad personalization options, making the choice of a perfectly matched door a true pleasure.
6. Functionality
Are you looking for a door for a new building? Or are you renovating an existing one? Thanks to numerous design solutions, WIŚNIOWSKI garage doors can be used both in new facilities and in modernized ones where other types of doors were previously installed. Our developed technologies ensure smooth and quiet operation of WIŚNIOWSKI garage doors.
7. Smart functions
With the smartCONNECTED feature, garage door control is possible in any situation. You can open the door remotely for a courier who arrives unexpectedly with a parcel, without leaving work. The same applies to other potential visitors – for example, a cleaning company waiting for access. The user also has full control over whether the door has been properly closed, and if anything raises doubts, the smartphone app makes it possible to close the door with a single click from anywhere in the world.
8. Spacious clear opening
Whether the garage is large or small, tailor-made WIŚNIOWSKI garage doors provide maximum clear opening width. With WIŚNIOWSKI solutions, you gain more space.
9. Efficient automatic operating units
The highest convenience is guaranteed by garage doors equipped with drive units matched to their parameters. WIŚNIOWSKI drive units are manufactured in cooperation with SOMFY – a global leader in automation technology. METRO and MOTO drive units offer maximum simplicity and ease of use.
Our drive units feature amperometric obstacle detection, which stops and reverses the door leaf when it encounters an obstacle, protecting the person or object from getting trapped. The drives also cooperate with photocell safety systems that prevent the door from closing when an obstacle appears in its path.
The SPARK drive unit ensures maximum protection and high resistance to external interference thanks to the new two-way WIŚNIOWSKI radio transmission, operating at 868 MHz with 128-bit encryption. It is exceptionally quiet, wear-resistant, and offers a very long service life.
WIŚNIOWSKI automatic garage doors comply with European standards in accordance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the EN 12604 and EN 12453 standards for user safety.
10. Complementarity
A garage is often integrated into the building, and together with the entrance door, the garage door makes up a significant portion of the visible façade. It is therefore very important to remember, already at the design stage, that the garage and the entrance door will serve as the home’s showpiece. A well-thought-out choice of not only the colour but also the design of the door and garage door brings a spectacular effect. WIŚNIOWSKI meets customer expectations by offering style- and colour-coordinated products that complement each other perfectly. The proprietary Home Inclusive collection is particularly noteworthy, combining windows, doors, and garage doors, and making it possible to complete the entire investment with a fence in the same colour – regardless of the texture of the material.
