New up & over door for 1960s Marley Cast Concrete Garage

May 12, 2008 0 Replies

Hi



I want to replace the Garage door to my 1960s? Marley Cast Concrete Garage.



It could be GRP , Steel Or Ali I have not decided.



I don't know if it is possible to buy official replacements for Marley but I suspect that something more generic would be cheaper eg Wicks or similar.



While current door is retractable up & over . Because opening would be only occasional - to access "stuff" - I would be happy with canopy type.



Current door fixtures are bolted to the cast concrete but generic doors all seem to require a timber frame which I don't have.



Happy to fit a timer frame , either in line with opening or just inside. But



How would I fix timber to concrete ?



This type of concrete is not really suitable for drilling for traditional fixings - right ?



Is there an adhesive that would be up to this job ? bearing in mind of course the weight and movement of the intended door.



Any suggestions appreciated.



Many thanks



Richard
