A garage door barrier that promises to keep out cold draughts, dust, leaves, rodents and other pests is being launched in Mahurangi this month, ahead of a nationwide rollout.
Puhoi resident Jane Worthington says the Cleverseal product was founded by her parents in Australia in 2007. It comprises a comprehensive range of well-designed, effective aluminium sections which are made in NZ, combined with various lengths of bristle brush.
“Between them, Mum and Dad have 55 years of aluminium and garage door industry experience,” Jane says. “They designed Cleverseal to be something that can be easily and economically fitted to seal gaps. With NZ’s cooler climate, we’re expecting it to be very popular here.”
Working alongside Jane will be Nick Marinus, of Mangawhai. Nick owned a successful panel beating business on the North Shore for around 16 years, before moving north to work with Barry Gillespie at Harcourts in Warkworth.
His wife Ann taught at Mahurangi College for many years but is now based at Otamatea College.
Nick says that while Cleverseal is designed primarily for garages and buildings such as sheds and factories, it also has potential for truck doors.
“There’s nothing else like it on the market,” he says. “It really is a quality product that can be fitted to the whole door in a short amount of time.”
Cleverseal is available in single lengths or kit sets to suit the door size and type of garage door so it is both DIY friendly or can be installed by Nick through Cleverseal sales and service.
Cleverseal also carries Cinderseal, their range of flame retardant garage door seals, which is available upon request.
