The installation forms a key part of a bespoke three-bay oak-framed garage and workshop, designed to combine premium aesthetics with high functionality. Hörmann UK was selected for the project due to its renowned German engineering expertise and strong reputation within the garage door market.
The project features three RollMatic 2 roller shutter doors and a matching side door, all finished in Jet black RAL9005. The bold finish provides a contemporary contrast that enhances and complements the natural oak structure of the building.
Specified and installed by Hörmann UK’s technical door team, the choice of roller doors was driven by both practical and visual considerations. With plans to install a car lift in one of the bays, space efficiency was critical.
Unlike traditional up-and-over or sectional doors, the RollMatic 2 system eliminates the need for internal horizontal tracks, maximising usable space within the garage. Maintaining a cohesive aesthetic was also a priority, leading to the selection of matching materials and finishes across all doors, including the side entrance door.
Each roller shutter door is equipped with advanced features, including wind locks, compensation fitting kits, and integration with Hörmann’s 868 MHz BiSecur remote control system. Additionally, the doors benefit from built-in Bluetooth connectivity, enabling operation via the Hörmann BlueSecur app on smartphones and tablets.
For added reliability, the doors are spring counterbalanced, allowing easy manual operation in the event of a power failure—eliminating the need for cumbersome crank handles.
Commenting on the project, George Austers said: “The doors installed by Hörmann have completely transformed the look of the building – the design, colour and functionality of the doors are perfect. They do exactly what I need them to do.
"I had high expectations of Hörmann and their products, and it is fair to say that they have really nailed it. The doors have turned out better than I expected and there is a reason Hörmann have the reputation of being the best door manufacturer in Europe.”
