Hormann TOP Entrance Doors

What is the difference between the Thermopro and the TP range of Hormann front entrance doors?


Hormann offer two ranges of superb high quality front entrance doors in the UK and the difference between them is not always apparent when you are researching and looking at brochures.
Both ranges of doors are in a league of build quality and security we are not particularly used to in this country and offer very high levels of thermal and acoustic insulation due to their excellent sealing properties and panel thickness.

So why is one over twice the price of the other?

Without going into enormous details this is explained by the fact that the Thermopro steel range is a range of doors that are sold as they are seen, in other words they have a specification and all you can change is the size and the colour. You can now add side lights and top transom sections as well but again they are purpose made but only in limited colours and two glass finishes.

The TOP Comfort, Prestige and Prestige Plus range of aluminium doors however are all made to order from the size, the colour, the glazing, the handle and the locking systems so are always costing more to buy. You can have a different colour outside to inside, different frame colours, a massive range of glazing and handle options and this all means you make a door that is unique to you and your home.

The confusion comes as some of the door designs at first glance do look very similar to each other but if you ask about the TOP model you will get a price twice that of the Thermopro model that may look similar.
