Successful FIT Show for Hörmann The FIT show in May saw Hörmann UK launch their range of Hörmann Truedor composite doors to complement their well-established steel and aluminium entrance door ranges. Garage doors and the new ‘Hörmann Rewards Fitters’ loyalty programme also featured on the stand, all of which generated a great deal of interest during a very busy show for the company. The introduction of the Hörmann Truedor composite door range to the Hörmann portfolio is an important development for the company, a move designed to create a ‘one-stop shop’ approach to the entrance door market. Hörmann is now able to offer installers a competitive composite door, a mid-range Thermo 46/65 steel door and a premium positioned aluminium option. Hörmann Truedor doors are manufactured by the company’s sister organisation IG Doors in South Wales, which with over 30 years of manufacturing experience is the only supplier of GRP composite doors in the UK to produce their door slab inhouse. The recognised Truedor range will now be supplied through Hörmann’s own sales and distribution organisation, which will provide the market with a composite door range now backed by the Hörmann brand and support. A new addition to the Hörmann Truedor range was also exhibited for the first time, the Clima63 thermal door which features a 63mm door slab providing excellent thermal insulation properties. Also new to the UK market and direct from its launch at BAU 2023 was the ThermoSafe Decoral door, the most recent addition to the Hörmann range of aluminium doors. ThermoSafe Decoral offers the combination of a high-quality, secure aluminium door together with a selection of new modern décor finishes and door styles. Applied to the powdercoated surfaces of the ThermoSafe door using a patented coating method, the Decoral finish results in a beautiful, colour-fast, and detailed appearance. The range offers five new innovative colour options – Cement, Rusty Pantina, Wild Oak, Barnwood and Barnwood Grey, together with eighteen exclusive door styles. Supplied with a standard frame in Jet black, the ThermoSafe Decoral door is also available with the exterior handles and embellishments in Jet black or in one of the Decoral colour options to match or contrast. The company are also introducing five new Duragrain colour options in their range of LPU 42 sectional doors that will provide a garage door to perfectly match the ThermoSafe Decoral door range. Automated garage doors on show featured the RenoMatic sectional door displayed in an eye-catching Planar Black finish and the RollMatic II roller door, both doors proving to be very popular amongst visitors to the stand. With no modifications or additions required and available across the full range of sizes, Hörmann automated sectional garage doors are also supplied with Secured by Design as standard. For the accreditation to be valid the doors should be installed behind the brickwork and not include any glazing options or external handles. Once fitted the installation should be registered with Hörmann to obtain the SBD certification. Commenting on the show David O’Mara, Marketing Manager of Hörmann UK said: “Hörmann are always pleased to be at the FIT show as it proves to be a great lead generator for us. This year we saw a high volume of good quality, qualified enquiries, with the introduction of Hörmann Truedor to the range being a major contributor. There is no doubt that the Hörmann brand is one of the most well-recognised brands in the home improvements market, a brand that is associated with quality and service. Installers now have the added benefit of being able to offer a Hörmann branded composite door, together with steel and aluminium options. As always, our garage doors provided a key talking point for installers who were looking for fitter-friendly products to add to their home improvements offering. The introduction of our new loyalty programme for fitters, another first in the garage door market, is further proof that Hörmann continues to be at the forefront when it comes to providing very real and valuable support to their dealers and installers. At Hörmann you really do get the best of all worlds, quality products, excellent service and exceptional support – all of which were clearly demonstrated on our stand at FIT. ” To find out more about Hörmann visit www.hormann.co.uk or call 01530 516868.
