is suitable for use where headroom is limited or for projects wishing to make a style statement. Traditionally these doors have either been adapted industrial doors or expensive tailor- made options, now though modern versions are readily available in stylish designs and are far more smooth and quiet when in motion than tra- ditional models.


How you intend to use your garage should


have the greatest bearing on the type of door that you choose. For instance, if you have direct, internal access to the garage from the house sectional doors offers the best insulation and security options. If the garage is remote from the house and has no power, manual up-and-over doors may be more suited for your project. When it comes to styling there are even more

Enq. 158 Hörmann


The break in resistance of Hörmann automatic sectional garage doors has been recognised by the award of Secured by Design status. The accreditation applies to the combination of Hörmann insulated or solid timber sectional doors with the Series 3 ProMatic or SupraMatic operators. The double skinned, insulated EPU and LPU doors both feature solid, CFC free polyurethane insulation that adds strength and rigidity to the door. With the EPU door the insulation is 42mm thick at the section joints and 20mm thick across each panel. For the LPU door this insulation is a constant 42mm thick, leading to even better ther- mal values. The LTH solid timber doors are offered in a number of styles and buyers also have the option to have their own individual design recreated by Hörmann. These doors can be ordered in either Nordic Pine or Hemlock. The ProMatic and SupraMatic operators which are part of the Secured by Design accreditation both feature a mechanical lock. This unique automatic latching system makes it almost impossible to lever these doors open, and as it is a purely mechanical system, it remains fully functional even in the event of a power failure. A wide range of styles and colours and even bespoke timber designs ensure there are doors to suit any home or project. Additionally matching entrance doors are available including the Hörmann ThermoPro range which also has Secured by Design options.
