Product DetailsThe Hormann LPU 40 S-Ribbed sectional garage door is produced to the classical standard garage door design of narrow horizontal ribbing. Elegant and refined with perfectly formed symmetrical spacing between the ribbing, the transitions between the sections are barely visible. With four vertical ribs on each panel, four panel doors have a total of 16 horizontal ribs – all perfectly uniform. As well as it’s timeless appearance, the Hormann LPU 40 S-Ribbed sectional door has some amazing safety features including ‘no crush’ zones created by the unique shape of the door sections. This form of finger trap protection is actually unique to all Hormann and is a feature of all of their sectional doors. Additionally the side frames are closed from top to bottom, completely eradicating gaps between the door leaf and frame preventing fingers becoming trapped or crushed.
42mm thick 100% CFC-free rigid PU foam filled panels render this door perfect for achieving maximum insulation. The 42mm thick insulation using 100% CFC-free rigid PU foam gives the door greater stability and makes for quiet operation. If the garage is used as a working or hobby room certainly the reduction in draughts will create a more comfortable constant temperature to say nothing of the saving on energy costs. The weather seals between the panels and around the four sides of the door add even more insulation.
The finish is an attractive, authentic wood grain and the panels are coated in high-quality polyester primer – robust and tough enough to provide excellent weather resistance. Traffic white is the colour that the doors come in as standard with a wide range of additional colour options.
Surface Finishes
The Hormann S Ribbed sectional garage door is available in three different surface finishes - an authentic sawn timber look in Woodgrain, a silky-smoot elegant finish in Silkgrain & an embossed smooth steel surface pattern in Micrograin.

Colour 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 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 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 & Night Oak as a fully finished surface.
