Garage doors are integral to the Green Deal

Effective insulation is paramount to the greater energy efficiency improvement of every home with an integral garage and NHIC is one of the first to acknowledge this very important fact.

For homes that rely on this important additional factor, the only type of garage door that is truly insulating is the sectional garage door. Usually automatic this door rises in sections into a track suspended from the garage ceiling.

Hörmann’s LPU is an insulated sectional, double skinned door with 42mm thick insulation. Each panel has a thermal u value of only 0.5W/m²k but the true value is for the fitted door, which for a 10m² garage door is a remarkable 1.3W/m²k .

This efficiency can be further improved by as much as 15% by fitting the Hörmann ThermoFrame. This creates a thermal between the door frame and the fabric of the building.

Precision engineering and manufacture ensure the door seals correctly, making it easy to operate manually, if required, and is easy to fit. From day one this door prevents heat loss and saves money.
