- The panels are cast into bespoke detailed moulds that create deep and detailed embossments and attractive panel detailing.
Strength and Security.
There are quite a few dented steel garage doors around the country. Steel garage doors can dent as a result of low and medium impact. Low speed impact from car bumpers and such like can crease a steel garage door whereas GRP being strong but slightly flexible will generally resist such knocks and maintain its appearance. GRP doors are impact tested for strength. Steel chassis and a smooth white glass fibre panel.
Hormann have a distinct two-stage process to making their GRP doors:
Stage 1. Manufacture of the lightweight but strong door chassis. This is galvanised and powder coated in white.
Stage 2. Bonding of the one piece GRP door skin onto the chassis.
- This manufacturing method pioneered by Hormann ensures high quality control, strength and rigidity in every door.
- All Gloss White doors have a white powder coated steel chassis edging the smooth white panel itself.
- The edge of Hormann GRP door chassis is very neat but is visible when viewed from the front. The edge forms a 10mm wide picture frame effect on all 4 edges of the panel.
