Hörmann garage doors
Hörmann is a German maker with a large UK presence in sectional and roller garage doors. Independent installers sell it, not Hörmann direct. It sits at the premium end, so an insulated sectional door in the UK typically costs £2,495–£3,500 including VAT for the 2290mm × 2250mm opening.
Hörmann is a trade mark of its owner. We use the name only to identify and compare products. This is an independent guide, and we are not a Hörmann dealer or installer.
Hörmann is one of the biggest garage door makers that supply the UK. It is best known here for insulated sectional doors with 42mm and 67mm panels. It also makes roller doors and a smaller range of steel up-and-over doors. Since local installers sell it, prices and lead times vary.
We do not sell Hörmann doors. Ask each installer for a written quote that names the exact range.

Hörmann is one of the biggest makers that supply UK installers, alongside Garador and Teckentrup. It is best known for insulated sectional doors. These open upwards and lie flat against the garage ceiling. Hörmann also makes roller doors that coil into a box above the opening.
Hörmann does not sell direct to UK homeowners. Independent installers fit, guarantee and service every door instead. This is because Hörmann relies on local installer networks, not its own UK shops. Most buyers get quotes from two or three installers before they choose.
Sectional panel thickness: 42mm or 67mm
Hörmann's home sectional range comes in two panel thicknesses in the UK. These are 42mm and 67mm. The thicker 67mm panel gives better heat insulation, which matters most for a garage that shares a wall with the house. However, it matters less for a detached garage that you use for storage or parking.
Operators and safety
Hörmann also makes its own garage door operators. Installers often fit these as a matched set with the door, for example with an LPU42 or LPU67 sectional. Any UK electric garage door must meet BS EN 12453 for force limits and safe reversal. The installer should also give you the log book that BS EN 12635 asks for, which records the service history for future owners and engineers.
