Hörmann Enhances Coastal Protection with LPU 42


With approximately 17% of the UK population living in coastal areas*, homeowners are looking for solutions to withstand the challenges posed by high salt content, moisture levels, and extreme weather conditions. In response, Hörmann UK has introduced the LPU 42 PremiumPlus sectional garage door – a high-performance upgrade engineered specifically for maritime environments.

Building on the trusted durability of the Hörmann LPU 42 range, the PremiumPlus option features enhanced corrosion protection and long-term weather resistance. 

Each door leaf has a high-quality protective coating with cut edge sealing, while a premium frame includes door hardware, tracks, and connection rails finished in Grey white (RAL 9002) powder coating for increased protection. 

To further improve performance, doors with S, M, and D-ribbing benefit from additional ribbed filler profiles to enhance sealing between section transitions and ribbing areas.

A recent installation in Dundonald, Kilmarnock featured two LPU 42 PremiumPlus doors, replacing the property’s previous garage doors that had suffered visible wear due to the proximity of the coast. 
Hörmann replaced them with two smart matching Anthracite grey (RAL 7016) M-rib Silkgrain sectional doors, each measuring 2286 x 2125mm. One was fully automated for frequent use, while the second was manually operated, both being equipped with matching handles to maintain a consistent aesthetic.

The PremiumPlus upgrade is available for LPU 42 sectional garage doors in both Woodgrain and Silkgrain surface finishes, offering homeowners a blend of good looks combined with superior coastal durability.
