Underground Systems Wooburn
Automatic gate systems can come in two forms: Underground and overground. This article is to highlight the benefits of underground systems versus overground systems. So, lets look at three reasons why we feel you would prefer underground systems.
Wooburn based company S.E.L Gate Automation provide underground installation for their automatic gates. We have three reasons as to why you may feel this installation is best.
First, and perhaps simplest of all is that an ‘invisible’ system is more aesthetically pleasing. For instance, other than the top of the foundation box that covers the motor and the arm that connects to the motor, no part of the entire mechanism is visible. To most onlookers, this gate will simply look like a normal gate. The most common application of this installation type is for those that have spent a lot of money and time on the planning and installation, so they don’t want obvious mechanisms on display ruining the look.
Second, as most of the working parts are underground, these types of systems are secure and safe from vandalism. Obviously, the whole idea of having a gated property is to deter any opportunists from entering the property. For security, it certainly is much better to have a system that no one can tamper with easily. Also, if you are concerned with the look of your property (which most of us are) you certainly don’t want it to be vandalised, shortening the systems life and making it look bad.
Third, something many may not think of is that an underground system could well affect the opening angle of your gate. Because of the difference in mechanism, the overground systems having a limited arc of movement, underground systems have the potential of opening the gates to up to 180 degrees. In your case, on your property this may be something very important to consider.
Now, there are some disadvantages to underground systems, but when you consider our previously mentioned company S.E.L, they become less of a worry in regard to their underground systems.
Wooburn based company Savage Engineers Ltd have a wealth of knowledge and experience in gate installation, so the worries that many may have simply disappear when working with them.
For example, many worry about making sure the ground works are done correctly with sufficient drainage, the careful alignment of the system etc. Of course, these things are important and not simple to install precisely. But for S.E.L, after many years of installing lots of different types of gates, this work is second nature to them. Just look at their portfolio on their website to see the obvious skill they have. If that doesn’t settle you, give them a call. The team there will be more than happy to answer any questions you have about your automatic gates underground system.
Wooburn is the place and S.E.L is the company that many Buckinghamshire residents use. They’re confident and so should you be in one of the south of England’s leading Gate automation engineers.
