Entrance
doors setting
the insulation
standards
With increased demand
for better insulation and
better security, Hörmann is
setting new standards with
the introduction of two new
entrance doors for 2014.
Set to feature prominently on
Hörmann’s stand at this years
FIT show, both the ThermoSafe
and ThermoCarbon represent a
new generation of high-insulation
entrance doors, designed for
low energy homes and housing
developments. Impressive thermal
and acoustic insulation plus high
security, are key features of these
aluminium entrance doors.
The ThermoSafe features a
73mm thick door leaf with a
rigid, CFC free, PU foam infill
and an aluminium sub-frame
with thermal break, which gives
an excellent u-value as low as 0.8
W/m2K. Triple glazed panels with
shatterproof safety glass, on the
inside and outside, help maintain
the high level of insulation when
these options are chosen.
For the ultimate in insulation,
the ThermoCarbon door marries
a reinforced carbon fibre subframe
with solid PU foam in a 100mm
thick door leaf, to produce an
entrance door with a U-value of
only 0.47 W/m2K. Quadruple
glazed panels help to maintain
this ground-breaking level. This

door also comes with 9-point
locking and hidden hinges as
standard.
These two new doors follow hot
on the heels of the ThermoPro
Plus steel faced entrance door,
which with a Thermal U-value of
only 1.0 W/m2K, is yet another
high performance choice from
the Hörmann range. This door
has a 65mm thick steel door
leaf, that utilises the same rigid
foam infill for both strength and
improved thermal performance.
A composite frame adds to the
thermal integrity of the doorset, since it offers an improved
thermal break.
All Hörmann entrance doors are
highly secure, thanks to multipoint locking, conical swing bolts,
security bolts and lock bolts that
pull the doors tightly shut. From
the entry level ThermoPro doors
to the ThermoCarbon door,
precision engineering delivers
good looking doors that can meet
all your requirements. Matching
side elements and transom lights
can also be selected to create the
perfect entrance.

Aluminium and ThermoPro
ranges of Hörmann entrance
doors can be found on the
