The biennial trade show in Munich is viewed as one of the building industry’s key events, making it the perfect venue to showcase the new items. In addition to a selection of domestic products, the door specialist is bolstering its range of high quality, precision-engineered industrial systems with the new launches. Among the key items to be introduced in 2015 is a new high-end motion detector and monitoring technology, the Scanprotect. With a robust, weatherproof design, the system is ideal for external use, and enables fast and targeted door automation. Laser technology means the Scanprotect is suitable for use with almost any ground surface, while a special ‘teach-in’ function enables the monitoring system to recognise permanent objects within its scanning area. Hörmann’s second new product to be launched at the show is an innovative roller shutter with a direct drive operator. Available for a wide range of Hörmann curtains or grilles, the DD system comes with wind locks or pull-out protection as standard. An extra accessory package for the DD roller shutter, for use with Hörmann’s Decotherm curtain, is the DD S6. With a powerful FU operator, the shutter benefits from soft-start, soft-stop technology and can perform up to 30 door cycles per hour. Hörmann’s popular Light Grille is integrated into the side guides to ensure safe operation, even at high closing speeds, while L-pads on the curtain’s interior minimise noise and wear when the door is in use. Three new insulated panels for Hörmann’s high-speed sectional doors are also due to be released later in the year. Designed for use in chilled areas or low energy warehouses, the panels include built-in thermal breaks to help reduce heat losses. 42mm and 67mm thick panels will be available for installation in a wide range of the manufacturer’s spiral and speed sectional doors, offering U-values of 0.9 W/(m 2 K) and 0.33 W/(m 2 K) respectively. New 100mm thick panels, providing an exceptional U-value of just 0.24 W/(m 2 K) will also be on offer for the ISO Speed Cold door, which is a popular choice within temperature controlled operations. More innovative industrial products are already in the pipeline for Hörmann this year. For information and UK updates on the availability of the items mentioned, visit www.hormann.co.uk. HART’S TERROR SCREEN SUCCESS Hart’s Terror Screen, the security roller shutter to standard LPS 1175 SR4 and with full third party certification from BRE/LPCB is hitting the mark with customers seeking additional on- site security. “We are listed in the online Red Book directory,” says HDS chairman, Doug Hart. “There are a minimal number of companies approved to Issue 7 of the required standard. “As testing has progressively become more stringent over time this is a considerable achievement for the company.” Terror Screen is a large and heavy shutter that offers protection up to 20 minutes against a range of actions to break through – enough time for security teams to arrive on site. The shutter has already been installed at a number of high security locations in Britain including power distribution, nuclear facilities and so on. Typically large external openings are risk areas so the 20 minutes attack resistance from possible intruders is a huge deterrent. Combined with CCTV, alarms and direct links to police, this is a real deterrent against theft of very high value materials or sabotage of national infrastructure. “We are delivering the right solution for vulnerable locations some of which have been for very large openings such as 8m wide and 9m high,” adds Mr. Hart.
