World’s first, with the new Hörmann Thermo sectional doors

The world’s first wicket door with thermal break is one of the optional features available with the latest additions to Hormann’s range of industrial sectional doors.

A further development of the recently introduced 50 series sectional door range, the new Thermo SPU, APU and ALR model doors have been developed to meet the demand for improved thermal insulation from operators and architects alike. The new doors all feature a 67mm thick profile that incorporates thermal breaks between sections to offer even better U-values.

The attention to detail that Hörmann has applied to this new generation of doors has led to the new wicket door design which helps to maintain the thermal integrity of the door leaf. Concealed hinges and built in door closers are also included, with this pedestrian access option. One of the major benefits of Hörmann’s design is the unique, trip free threshold. The stainless steel threshold strip is only 5mm high at the edge and, as this wicket door has clear passage width of 905mm, allows this option to be used as an emergency exit.

The improved insulation, that these latest additions to the range offer mean that the SPU 67 Thermo door is set to replace the double insulated DPU door that has been the mainstay of the frozen and chilled sector. The more compact, new generation door has the additional benefit of an even more competitive price, making it an appealing choice for ambient as well as frozen and chilled operations. These double skinned steel doors with rigid polyurethane infill are offered in the same finishes and colours as the standard, 42mm thick, SPU doors to ensure uniformity of appearance.

The APU 67 Thermo is an aluminium glazed door with a steel bottom panel. Ideal for vehicle workshops these doors allow in natural light while the robust bottom panels helps to make this option easier to service and repair. Hörmann’s unique, scratch resistant, Duratec triple glazed panels are standard, however quadruple Duratec glazing and twin pane climatic glass are options depending the level of insulation required.

Similar options are offered with the fully glazed ALR 67 Thermo, which is ideal for car showrooms, for example. With coloured glazing also an option, these aluminium doors have been used in a number of applications to match the overall design of a building without compromising energy savings.

The drive to continually improve its product range and the flexibility to include wicket doors, vision panels or fully glazed units is all part of the approach, by Hörmann, to offer a complete range of options to suit all businesses, sites and activities. This is all backed up with service that encompasses initial advice, design and planning through to installation and ongoing maintenance and repair.

Working in this way, to understand customers’ exact needs and meet them, has been the cornerstone of the company’s innovative approach to new product development and has established Hörmann as a true-one-stop shop for all industrial door and loading bay requirements.
