Garador’s Carlton up & over garage door is one of the most popular garage doors on the market. The Carlton offers exceptional value for money with a tried and tested design that’s both long-lasting and low maintenance. Constructed from high grade galvanised steel, the crisp vertical swage complements modern architecture but also sits well on traditional builds or alongside other garage doors where
there are blocks of garages in a row. The door has a rivet free design meaning the surface of the door panel is smooth and a durable powder-coat paint finish protects the door from the elements. The Carlton comes in a choice of 20 standard colours and is available in the full range of sizes up to 5,500 mm wide including standard, made-to-measure and double door sizes.

Pro-Tiler UK Wall & Floor won the Best Domestic Project 2024 Award at this year’s esteemed TTA Awards for its work within the iconic Stage Penthouses in Shoreditch, London and in a sophisticated pool area in Manchester. Situated on the historic site of Shakespeare’s Curtain Road Theatre, the Stage Penthouses project presented a unique opportunity to blend modern luxury with cultural heritage. Pro-Tiler meticulously executed this vision using 3,200 x 1,600 large format tiles at a slender 6 mm thickness. The edges, a critical detail, were expertly mitered and resin- filled, ensuring a seamless and sophisticated finish. The next chapter in Pro–Tiler’s portfolio unfolded in Manchester, where the contractor undertook the ambitious task of transforming a pool area into a haven of luxury and relaxation – cladding all walls with 6 mm 3,200x1,600 porcelain tiles and adorning the floor with 20 mm porcelain – as well as the creation of a steam room area and Jacuzzi with carefully integrated bespoke sinks. The success of both projects hinged on the team’s ability to innovate and adapt to unique challenges presented by each space and deliver a precise installation of large format tiles. Working closely with Apex Grange for the supply of Schlüter–Systems materials ensured a harmonious workflow, allowing the contractor to focus on the intricacies of installation.
