Q:What are the insulation values for the Hormann sectional doors?

The four important characteristics of thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, tightness and sealing, and wind loading for garage doors are all tested and certified by Hormann directly.

These are important factors for the choice of door over and above the mandatory safety requirements. The thermal and acoustic insulation properties for the modern garage, sealing against adverse weather effects and resistance to wind pressure in particularly windy regions are all far more important in the UK than ever before.

Hormann LPU42 and LPU67 insulated sectional garage doors offer the very best performance in all these areas.

Doors with solid timber infill LTH40   Door leaf U = 2.5 W/(m2/K) Fitted door 1) U = 3.0 W/(m2/K)
