Hormann Sectional Garage Doors
 A world leader in garage and industrial doors Hormann offer the most complete range of sectional garage doors available in Europe. Standard UK sizes, standard European sizes and purpose made sizes in nearly all the various steel and timber designs are available.
We can help you make sure you get the right size and specification for your garage with over 25 years of knowledge and experience with garage doors.
Sizes
Hormann offer domestic sectional garage doors from 2 metres wide right up to 6.5 metres wide in most of the different designs available. Heights are available up to 3 metres. If you have a very wide garage Hormann can also offer a 'Combi door' which in essence is a commercial door specification for the operating mechanism but uses domestic insulated steel panels, this door is available up to a massive 7.5 metres wide!
Designs
Choose from wide variations in the classic Horizontal ribbed or smooth design or 'Georgian' panelled designs. Variations in each design create a very different visual appearance. Some of the designs are only available in either the single skin LTE40 range or the double skinned EPU40 20mm and 42mm LPU40 range. There are also a complete range of 'designer sectional doors' with artistic design elements incorporated into the door panels. These designer doors are all LPU 40 insulated panels with optional glazing elements.
These sectional doors all have matching front entrance doors available for the perfect visual finish.
 The high quality LTH 40 timber sectional door range offered by Hormann again has 2 basic designs - the classic horizontal boarded design and the 'V panel' raised and fielded panel design - however the clever use of computer factory routing in either Nordic pine or Hemlock timber means you can create your own garage door design - a service offered by Hormann from their factory in Germany. Some standard designs are also readily available, a good example being the superb design 405, recreating a double leaf barn door effect with optional false hinges to finish the overall effect.
Finishes
Hormann steel sectional doors are finished as standard in white polyester paint (RAL 9016) - a finish which if you wish can be lightly rubbed down and painted. Most people don't bother to do this as Hormann offer a comprehensive factory finished RAL colour range as an optional finish to the exterior - over 400 RAL colours to choose from!
A limited range of standard RAL colours are also available at special prices with faster delivery times from Hormann - 16 colours to choose. The door panels also have subtle differences in that all of the door designs are either a woodgrain or silkgrain finish, woodgrain being as it describes - with a robust, woodgrain structured surface and silkgrain a smooth elegant surface with extra reinforcement in the exterior face of this option.
More recently the Decograin laminate foil coated range has taken the UK by storm - 6 beautiful woodgrain laminate finishes with unique embossed graining offering either Golden Oak, Dark Oak, Rosewood, Light Oak and Night Oak as a fully finished surface with a 10 year guarantee - a perfect match to many Upvc windows and external timber features.

Mechanisms
 Hormann offer 2 basic operating gear types - tension springs (Z track) in the side channels for doors up to 3048mm wide and overhead torsion springs (N Track) for doors over 3048mm wide.
Side tension springs or 'Z track' sectional doors only require 100mm of headroom as the curve in the tracking can be a tighter radius than the larger doors.
Torsion springs or 'N track' sectional doors require 210 mm of headroom as the spring mechanism is directly above the top door panel and the track curve is not as tight.
All the larger sectional door systems have a low headroom option (L Track) where the torsion spring is relocated to the rear of the horizontal tracks and the headroom requirement reduced to as little as 100mm. Final drive through heights are usually comprimised slightly with reduced headroom options as the bottom door panel section cannot be pulled fully clear of the opening - it is however always usually higher than an equivalent height up and over door.
Special requirements can be accomodated with extra high tracking available if the ceiling is higher than normal keeping the garage space clear.
This gear is known a H track gear and is available to order and priced accordingly. This will put the horizontal tracks as high as possible in your garage to maximise space or ensure the tracks miss an obstacle such as a gas meter or similar.
'Combi sectional doors' with the commercial torsion spring system will require 390mm as standard as the spring is a lot bigger to assist the weight of the larger doors (up to 7500mm wide). A lot more attention has to be given to the spring support fixing points with this gear as the tension in the springs is much higher.
For many installations internal restrictions may prevent full width or full heigh sectional doors being used and then infills and trims will be required to seal up the sides or the top or both of course. Hormann have many different products to enable this to be as professional as possible where required rather than using timber or Upvc sections that will not match exactly.

 Features
Hormann sectional garage doors feature the following - as standard:
Fully sealed perimeter - with rubber seals and close fitting to steel framework. The large bottom rubber seal on a level floor will prevent leaves and dust, etc.
Vertical operation - meaning you can park your vehicle right up to the door inside or out and still open and close it.
Excellent security - provided by 5 encapsulated rollers in steel hinges either side of a standard door and a rotary latch locking mechanism with europrofile cylinder locking as standard - of course the double skinned doors are very strong against physical attacks.
Easy operation - due to the spring mechanisms assisting the door during most of the operation, unlike an up and over type, the doors are surprisingly easy to operate.
Paint finishes - standard on all doors inside and out with bright white (RAL9016) finish externally and off white (RAL 9002) internally - no need to paint.
Remote control ready - due to the retractable tracking mechanism of a sectional door they are ready to have a standard boom operator fitted with no further adaptions.
Full drivethrough - no reduction in the drivethrough width - a 2286mm wide door gives you 2286mm when open. With the N track mechanism you get the full height and only lose approx. 50mm on the Z track mechanism when fully open.
10 year guarantee - on the entire door.
Options - Many options are available in the sectional door range including:
» Windows for all designs in single and double glazed units
» Handle materials and colour options » Headroom arrangements including high lift tracking for high ceilings
» Extra wide doors with industrial specification operating gear
» Bespoke timber designs to your drawing design
» Matching Front Entrance Doors and side doors
» Pedestrian access door inside main garage door
Benefits
Sectional garage doors really do provide a secure, well sealed door solution for any garage opening. The vertical opening is a major benefit for shorter driveways. The unrestricted drivethrough when open is a must for todays wider vehicle designs. The all round sealing is perfect against our British weather. The double skinned door panels offer maximum insulation and strength for long lasting use and excellent security. The superb engineered gear mechanism gives very easy opening and closing when manually operated. All in all it is the perfect garage door in many ways and being so hignly engineered is just the icing on the cake. This is a real high quality door mechanism.
