FIT Show Review

Successful launch of Hörmann Truedor at FIT 2023

The FIT show saw Hörmann UK launch its 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 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 are 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 , who with over 30 years ’ manufacturing experience are the only supplier of GRP composite doors in the UK to produce their own door slab . 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 powder coated 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 .
Hörmann is also introducing five new Duragain colour options in their range of LPU 42 sectional doors that will provide a garage door to perfectly match the ThermoSafe Decoral door range .
Commenting on the show David O ’ Mara , Marketing Manager of Hörmann UK , “ Hörmann is 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 will now have the benefit of being able to offer a Hörmann branded composite door alongside our steel and aluminium options .
From talking to visitors to the stand and seeing the products on show throughout the halls , there is a definite trend towards high quality entrance doors . Doors that will offer the consumer longevity and ultimately value for money , together with the option to provide that little extra - whether that be thermal insulation , the ability to create oversized doors or in the colour options being offered .”
