Finishes

Hormann steel sectional doors are finished as standard in white polyester paint (RAL 9016). This finish, if you wish, can be lightly rubbed down and painted. Most people don't choose to do this as Hormann offer a comprehensive factory finished RAL colour range as an optional finish to the exterior. There are over 400 RAL colours to choose from!

A limited range of standard RAL colours are also available at special prices with faster delivery times from Hormann -  with 15 colours to choose from.

The door panels also have subtle differences in that all of the designs are either a woodgrain or silkgrain finish. The woodgrain is as it is described - with a robust, woodgrain structured surface whilst the silkgrain consists of a smooth elegant surface, with extra reinforcement in the exterior face.

The Decograin laminate foil coated range is quite unique to Hormann. There are various beautiful woodgrain laminate finishes with unique embossed graining. Choices include Golden Oak, Dark Oak, Night Oak, Rosewood, Winchester Oak and Titan Metallic as a fully finished surface, a perfect match to many Upvc windows and external timber features.

There's a huge variety of timber-style finishes to offer natural warmth to any garage.

Mechanisms

Hormann offer two basic operating gear types:

- Tensions Springs (Z Track) in the side channels for doors up to 3048mm wide. Side tension springs, or 'Z track' sectional doors, only require 100mm of headroom as the curve in the tracking can be a tighter radius than the larger doors.

- Overhead torsion spring (N Track) for doors over 3048mm wide. Torsion springs, or 'N track' sectional doors, require 210 mm of headroom as the spring mechanism is directly above the top door panel and the track curve is not as tight.

All the larger sectional door systems have a low headroom option, (L Track). In this case, the spring is relocated to the rear of the horizontal tracks and the headroom requirement reduced to as little as 100mm. Final drive-through heights are usually comprimised slightly, with reduced headroom options as the bottom door panel section cannot be pulled fully clear of the opening, It is, however, always usually higher than an equivalent height up and over door.

Special requirements can be accommodated with extra high tracking available if the ceiling is higher than normal, keeping the garage space clear.

This gear is known as 'H track' gear, and is available to order and be priced accordingly. This will put the horizontal tracks as high as possible in your garage to maximise space, or ensure the tracks miss an obstacle such as a gas meter or similar.

'Combi sectional doors,' with the commercial torsion spring system, will require 390mm as standard as the spring is a lot bigger to assist the weight of the larger doors (up to 7500mm wide). A lot more attention has to be given to the spring support fixing points with this gear as the tension in the springs is much higher.

For many installations, internal restrictions may prevent full width or full height sectional doors being used, and then infills and trims will be required to seal up the sides or the top, or both. Hormann have many different products to enable this to be as professional as possible where required rather than using timber or Upvc sections that will not match exactly.
