Architects and specifiers are continuously looking for new products and technology to meet both legislative demands and the changing needs of homeowners. In response to this, Hörmann has launched a new range of sectional garage doors to ensure that it offers the highest levels of thermal insulation. The LPU 67 Thermo sectional garage door has been designed using 67mm thick filled polyurethane panels and double-lip seals on all four sides. These features help the range achieve u-values as low as 0.91 W/(m 2 .K), 50% better thermal insulation when compared to an LPU 42 sectional garage door. For a thermal break between frame and brickwork offering up to 15% better thermal insulation, the LPU 67 Thermo sectional garage door is available with Hörmann’s specifically designed ThermoFrame technology. As well as its thermal benefits, this range of garage doors comes with Hörmann’s proven finger trap protection to help eliminate potential trap zones both internally and externally. For those wanting to give the interior of their door an exclusive look, the premium version of the LPU 67 Thermo comes with fitting parts, frames, tracks and connections in a high-quality polyester powder coating in Grey white RAL 9002. Commenting on the recent addition to its range of sectional garage doors, Hörmann UK’s managing director, David Newcombe, said: “Having supplied the UK market with our sectional garage doors for 30 years, we are delighted to introduce a new line into this popular range. To be able to offer architects and specifiers a garage door that provides up to 50% more thermal insulation when compared to our competitors, is something we are extremely proud of. The LPU 67 represents a huge step forward in ensuring we uphold our position as the UK’s leading garage door manufacturer, so we are pleased to be able to welcome it into our range.” As with most of Hörmann’s sectional garage doors, the LPU 67 Thermo is available in a variety of finishes, colours, and glazing options. So, whatever your budget and design challenge may be, Hörmann has the products, expertise and knowledge to deliver the perfect style of garage door.
