Heat insulation, appearance, convenience of control, protective mechanisms - list important items to be paid attention to.
Not only the appearance of the house and the site depends on the quality of the garage gate, but also whether corrosion and the safety of the house and its inhabitants will appear on your machine. We are talking about important criteria that cannot be bypass when choosing a model, color and functional of future garage doors.
1 Good thermal insulation
Good thermal insulation of the gate is needed not only to preserve comfortable temperature in the garage. If he is adjacent to the house, the cold will penetrate into the room. To select a gate with high-quality thermal insulation, pay attention to the heat transfer coefficient. It must be minimal. Do not confuse it with the heat transfer coefficient, it, on the contrary, should be high.In this case, the thickness of the web in this case does not matter. A good level of thermal insulation depends not only on the thickness, but also from the materials from which seals are made, from the filler, as well as from the presence of wicket or windows in the gate.
2 appearance
An important role in the design of the exterior plays the appearance of the gate. The design consists of materials, shades, textures and parts.
Hörmann has an extensive palette of standard tones for garage gates (16 colors) and several types of colors under the tree ("Night Oak", "Dark Oak", "Golden Oak").
Separately, it is worth saying about the innovative development of the company, the coverage of Duragrain. For him, 24 unique colors are offered. This is a very durable finish using a protective lacquer, which for a long time retains the appearance of the gate in perfect condition. Outwardly, DuraGrain imitates natural textures in detail.
In order for the exterior to be harmonious, it is important to choose guides and canvas in a single style, only Hörmann offers such an opportunity.
By the way, now Hörmann gates can be bought with a 30% discount.
3 Availability of protection against hacking
So that the robbers can be closed inside the garage, it is worth providing protection against prompting. If it is, it means that no one can pour the cloth outside and raise. Protection is two types: mechanical and electric. The first is more reliable, as it works even in the absence of electricity. If the gate is equipped with a control panel, it is important to clarify which type of encoding is used to protect. Optimal 128-bit encoding, it better protects the signal supplied from the remote control to the gate, from intercepting.4 Safe use
Safety implies protection against cliff and falling the canvas, as well as from pinching fingers when closing. The modern sectional doors provide protective mechanisms. For example, the fall of the canvas protects the additional cable. Better if it is two independent cables.
It is also worth providing protection against collision with obstacles. This is relevant if, for example, a car or person will stand on the opening path of the gate. The reversing mechanism will not give a damage nor the object. If the gate is equipped with a light barrier, they will stop, even without touching the obstacles.
In the line of sectional garage gates Hörmann, even the basic equipment includes all the necessary security systems. The quality of the systems confirm patents and test certificates in accordance with the European Security Standard 13241-1.
5 Establishment
In a modern house, you can automate processes. Imagine how it is convenient to open the gate from the smartphone, which is always at hand. Through the smartphone you can get electronic keys and change them if necessary. For example, if you have a brigade of builders on the plot, and you do not plan to give them access to the garage.
Another convenient feature that can be equipped with a gate - humidity control. It turns on using a special sensor. When the humidity is too high, the gate is slightly averted automatically. When the parameters are restored, the gate is lowered. Due to this, there will be no mold and rust in the garage. Suite adjustment, by the way, is at the gate of Hörmann. The company is actively developing target management options through the Smart Home system. Now different types of gates are complemented by different set of functions. There is a PROLIFT line, the most affordable cost with the basic set of functionality. The Promatic Series is designed for the average budget and except for basic functions includes a BISECUR system with which it is easy to control doors, lighting drives, and also protect the electronic signal from intercepting. And the most advanced series - Supramatic, in which all functions are collected.
6 Reliability of Material and Design
It is a longer all the products made of hot galvanizing, this is one of the most durable materials on the market. The anti-corrosion coating will additionally protect against rust. Vertical guides should also be protected from rust.
As for the reliability of the design. The gate can be balanced at the expense of the torsion mechanism or springs of stretching. The balancing mechanism is calculated and selected precisely in accordance with the weight of the door of the gate. It is important that all calculations of the design be made ultra-precisely and the elements of the gate perfectly approached each other.
