What would you like your gates to be made of?

You can choose the type of material that best suits your property, and your needs.

Metal electric gates are strong, robust and secure. They are available in a wide range of different designs. Modern powder coating technology means that they are available in a wide range of colours, and that the finish will last for a long time.

Wooden electric gates have a lovely traditional look and feel. They add a subtle high-tech touch to traditional buildings, at the same time as adding to the appearance and character of the building. A range of colours and finishes are available. To keep their appearance, and to help preserve the wood, they need regular repainting, usually annually

Composite electric gates are highly durable and resistant to corrosion, weather, and wear, making them ideal for outdoor use and long-term durability. Unlike metal gates, composite gates do not rust, warp, or require frequent maintenance, reducing upkeep costs and enhancing longevity. They are lightweight, which reduces strain on the gate’s motor and hardware. Composite gates also offer a modern, aesthetically versatile appearance, as they can mimic the look of wood or metal while maintaining superior resilience. Finally, their resistance to UV damage and fading ensures they maintain their appearance over time, making them a cost-effective and visually appealing choice for electric gates.

uPVC gates  uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride)is highly resistant to corrosion, moisture, and UV rays, and requires minimal maintenance. Like Composite gates, it does not rust, rot, or need repainting, helping reduce upkeep costs. Additionally, uPVC is a cost-effective material, usually cheaper than wood, metal or composite. It provides a durable, long-lasting solution at a relatively affordable price. With various style and colour options, uPVC gates are versatile in appearance, enabling property owners to achieve the desired aesthetic while benefiting from their resilience and low-maintenance nature.
