Manufactured in four material choices, polyethylene (PE500), stainless steel, scratch-resistant HPL compact board, or wood - the doors offer robust performance, long service life, and excellent resistance to impact and wear. Available in single or double leaf configurations and a wide choice of colours and finishes, they can be tailored to suit a variety of operational and design requirements.
Engineered for performance and hygiene the double action doors are resistant to moisture, acids, and alkalis. They perform reliably in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +60°C, making them suitable for use in both chilled and ambient environments. Each door is fitted with shock-proof, maintenance-free stainless steel hinges that ensure a long service life, with the option of 180° or 360° hinges to allow flexible, full-width access and ease of movement for personnel and vehicles such as forklifts.
The PE500 model is constructed from 15mm moulded polyethylene, offering exceptional impact resistance — ideal for areas with high traffic and frequent equipment contact. Available in thirteen standard colour options and three special finishes, including Traffic Red and RAL colours of choice, the PE door can be further customised with glazing options, impact absorber profiles, and finger guards.
The newly introduced HPL compact board door offers the same technical capabilities as the PE version. With a 15mm thick door leaf and enhanced scratch resistance, it is available in 14 contemporary colours and finishes. The wood version provides a high-quality natural look and comes in 16 finishes, although it is not suitable for use at low-temperatures or in food-handling environments.
For more design-focused or high-spec environments such as catering outlets or food service areas, the stainless-steel version combines durability with aesthetic appeal. Featuring a 0.8mm thick stainless-steel sheet and a 40mm CFC-free PU hard foam core, this door provides excellent thermal insulation and a sleek, professional appearance in striped or circular finishes.
Installation is fast and efficient thanks to Hörmann’s pre-assembled supply system, which includes the frame, door leaf, and hinges minimising fitting time and cost. An innovative frame system ensures a stable wall connection, contributing to smooth, long-term operation. As the doors operate without power, they are virtually maintenance-free, offering a cost-effective and reliable solution for businesses focused on operational efficiency.
The versatility of Hörmann’s double action doors makes them a valuable addition to any industrial or commercial facility. They can also be combined with other Hörmann door systems to create flexible access solutions - such as TD roller shutters, fire sliding doors, or insulated sliding doors for deep-freeze or chilled areas to help maintain ambient temperatures and minimise energy loss.
