The widespread desire to
reduce energy costs incurred while using the home and the ecological aspects of
effective energy management make investors look closely at any innovations that
increase the thermal insulation of the building. That's why Hörmann offers new
solutions that improve the thermal insulation of garage doors and gates.
The widespread desire to
reduce energy costs incurred while using the home and the ecological aspects of
effective energy management make investors look closely at any innovations that
increase the thermal insulation of the building. That's why Hörmann offers new
solutions that improve the thermal insulation of garage doors and gates.
Warmth at home and in
the garage
If the garage is located
in a block of a building, the heat from the adjacent heated rooms penetrates
into the garage, and then outside. Experts
emphasize that such a house should have a garage equipped with a sectional door
built of steel segments with a thickness of not less than 42 mm . The
gate must be filled with polyurethane foam with very high thermal insulation
properties. It is important that
the foam tightly fills all the corners of the table. The connections between the door
segments and between the segments and the frame are also important. Attention should be paid to
permanently flexible and weather-resistant gaskets, placed on all the edges of
the door and on the widest possible contact edges between the segments. The thermal insulation coefficient U
for a mounted gate with an area of 10
m2 should not exceed 1.3 W / sq m.
All these conditions are
met by Hörmann LPU 40 sectional doors.
With the TermoFrame door
frame - even warmer
The energy efficiency of
the garage door depends also on the way of assembly. The latest, constructed by Hörmann, a
system that further reduces thermal energy loss is the installation of the
ThermoFrame frame using a thermal barrier between the frame and the building
wall. This system additionally
reduces thermal energy losses and improves the thermal insulation properties of
LPU 40 garage doors.
The ThermoFrame door
frame is separated from the building wall by a special thermal barrier, which
makes the door construction elements not directly in contact with the wall.
In this way, thermal
bridges are minimized, which are the cause of increased heat losses. The ThermoFrame frame is equipped with
a durable frame
plastic and additional
"lips" sealing, in contact with the door leaf on three edges - on the
sides and in the upper part. The
LPU 40 gate, whose heat transfer coefficient is still low (for the door panel
is 0.9 W / m2K), with such a door frame significantly increases its thermal
insulation properties - up to 15
percent!
Warm and safe exterior
doors
Lower heating bills will
also be provided by Hörmann's ThermoPro, ThermoPro Plus and TopPrestigePlus
exterior doors. This is a
proposal for those who, when focusing on energy efficiency, do not want to give
up either burglary protection or the attractiveness of the aesthetic door that
they treat as a home business card.
The steel door leaves
ThermoPro and Thermo Pro Plus are equipped with a thermal break. In addition, door panels with a
thickness of 46 mm and 65
mm on the entire surface are
filled with polyurethane foam. Heat
losses are eliminated by: four-sided door rebate, double gaskets on all edges
of the board and additional sealing of the corners in the threshold area. The thermal insulation is also
increased by the aluminum door frames equipped with a thermal barrier. Thermal insulation coefficient is even
0.8 W / m2K (in doors without glazing). Excellent
thermal insulation in glazed doors is provided by triple or double insulation
glass.
The standard 11-point
protection guarantees excellent burglar protection. It is also possible to order ThermoPro
and ThermoPro Plus doors in the
anti- burglary version, in class 2 according to PN -
ENV 1627. Additionally, you can order side
and top fanlights with very good thermal insulation.
ThermoPro and ThermoPro
Plus doors are offered in a wide range of designs, both modern and classic and
in 11 RAL colors, and some designs in wood-like veneer in Golden Oak, Dark Oak
and Night Oak and in Titan Metalic.
A variety of attractive
designs with very good thermal insulation and anti-burglary safeguards also
combine the TopPrestigePlus door.
These doors have a
system of aluminum profiles with a thickness of 80 mm with a thermal break, and their wing
with a thickness of 70 mm is made of three layers of aluminum
sheet and two layers of polyurethane foam. As
a result, the U heat transfer coefficient in doors without glazing can be as
high as 1.1 W / m2K. In doors
with glazing, heat losses are minimized by triple thermal insulation glazing. The Top PrestigePlus door ,
like the ThermoPro door, can be ordered in the anti-burglary version in class 2
according to PN-EN 1627.
Both ThermoPro and
TopPrestigePlus are the best example of how modern external doors can
successfully combine excellent thermal insulation with anti-burglary and
interesting design.
