Ventilated garage doors enable seamless integration of vertical timber cladding. In this video you can see how custom-made garage doors and car port doors from Rundum Meir provide natural ventilation and daylighting into enclosed garage spaces,. They perfectly integrate into contemporary architecture featuring vertical timber board-on-batten cladding to achieve a seamless aesthetic result. This is the award-winning Abode development by Countryside Properties in Cambridgeshire, where the architects Proctor and Matthews sought to deliver uniformity across different housing styles using a limited palette of materials. Key to this was the use of horizontal and vertical cladding, which was extended into the doors for the car ports manufactured by Rundum Meir in matching oak. And by choosing a ventilated door design, fresh air and daylight is allowed to flow through the car ports from the rear gardens, adding an interesting visual dimension.
