Design & Appearance
The M-ribbed design features medium-width horizontal ribbing that creates a contemporary, architectural appearance, while the Sandgrain surface finish adds a subtly textured, fine-grain coating that sits between smooth Silkgrain and the more pronounced Woodgrain. This white Sandgrain finish delivers a refined, modern aesthetic with just enough surface character to hide minor marks and scratches, making it an ideal middle-ground choice for homeowners seeking a clean, upmarket look with practical durability.
Thermal Performance & Comfort
This LPU 42 door features 42mm thick double-skinned steel sections with integrated thermal insulation, delivering a U-value of 1.3 W/m²K for excellent heat retention that keeps your garage noticeably warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The high-specification thermal barrier helps maintain stable internal conditions, reduces condensation risk, and creates a more comfortable environment - particularly valuable where the garage connects directly to the house or serves as a workshop, gym, or hobby room rather than simple storage.
Operation & Security
The vertical-lift sectional design glides smoothly up into the ceiling space on precision-engineered tracks, allowing you to park right up to the door both inside and outside without worrying about swing clearance. Patented tension spring technology, secure roller guides in safety tracks, and comprehensive finger-trap protection on all sections combine to provide quiet, reliable daily operation with exceptional safety and a reassuringly solid, secure feel - especially when paired with a Hörmann electric operator.
Why Choose This Model
Choose the M-ribbed Sandgrain white door if you want the clean appearance of a smooth door with slightly more texture and scratch-resistance than Silkgrain, but less pronounced grain than Woodgrain. This finish is particularly popular on new-build estates and contemporary extensions where you want a crisp, modern look that still offers excellent durability and ease of maintenance.
