New from Hörmann the ET500 series 3. The optimal solution for collective garage doors

Hörmann UK have announced the introduction of their ET500 series 3 collective garage

doors, providing low maintenance together with extremely smooth and safe operation.

Designed as a non-protruding up-and-over door, the ET500 has been specifically developed

for installations where collective garage doors open directly onto a pavement as the door

leaf only swings out by 30mm.

The door has been designed for high use areas and includes wear-free counter-weight

technology designed for a service life of at least 250,000 door cycles providing long-term

functional reliability. Whilst a combination of buffers and rollers together with double rubber

and damping springs ensure that the door opens and closes smoothly and quietly. In

addition, two integrated photocells located within the door frame automatically stop the door

should any obstruction be detected within the opening/closing sequence ensuring the

highest operational safety standards. Matching side doors and the option to incorporate low

threshold wicket door provides easy and safe pedestrian access.

The ET500 has a flush fitting frame which is colour matched to the door leaf giving it a

particularly neat and attractive finished appearance. Sixteen standard colours are available

including White aluminium, the ever-popular Anthracite grey and bold Ruby red, together

with RAL colours of choice.

Available up to a maximum size of 6000mm wide x 3000mm high, the range includes twelve

different styles and door leaf versions with the option of steel and aluminium sheets,

expanded mesh and perforated steel. Also available are door styles which allow for

customised, onsite infill panels to match specific building designs and materials.

A selection of three new surface mounted infill panels have also just been launched in

Corten steel, Stone, and Concrete finishes to provide the option of additional creativity and a

hardwearing surface finish.

The ET500 can be fully automated with a Hörmann operator which provides quick and easy

access via a hand-held transmitter or mobile phone using the Hörmann BiSecur app, a

secure, encrypted bi-directional radio system for added security.
