Hörmann Delivers A Complete Door Solution – Inside and Out

A contemporary renovation project in Leicestershire has been completed with the installation of a comprehensive suite of high-quality residential doors from Hörmann UK, showcasing the brand’s ability to deliver cohesive solutions both externally and internally. The family home features a Hörmann sectional garage door and aluminium entrance door, complemented inside by a range of side-hinged, pocket, and fire doors.

Carefully selected high-specification materials and contemporary finishes have been used throughout, ensuring a seamless match with the property’s modern architectural aesthetic and premium interior design. Purchased by the current owners in 2023, the property came with planning permission already in place for a substantial extension. Building on this, the owners refined the scheme with a number of personal adjustments and selected Hörmann as their door partner of choice. Initially drawn to Hörmann’s sectional garage doors, they subsequently explored the wider range of entrance and internal doors, recognising a portfolio that aligned seamlessly with their ambition to deliver high-quality, modern solutions throughout the home.

Construction commenced in Autumn 2024, with all the internal and external doors supplied and fitted by Hörmann Partner Standard installer A S Doors of Melton Mowbary. The renovation was completed in time for Christmas 2025, delivering a stylish and cohesive finish both inside and out. Externally, the property features a Hörmann LPU42 double-sized sectional garage door, designed with a 42mm thick door leaf that delivers excellent thermal efficiency—making it an ideal choice for the integrated garage. For added convenience and security, the door is fully automated with a Hörmann Supramatic P motor, operated by two hand transmitters.

The door is finished in elegant Silkgrain, perfectly complementing the home’s modern architectural style, while the Agate grey (RAL 7038) colour harmonises seamlessly with the external cladding and overall material palette of the property.  A Hörmann ThermoSafe high-performance aluminium entrance door with a glazed side panel was selected to complement and match the style and premium finish of the sectional garage door. The door features a 73mm thick leaf, delivering excellent thermal efficiency with Thermosafe doors being able to achieve U-values as low as 0.8 W/(m²·K).

Equipped with the latest multi-point locking systems, it provides enhanced security and peace of mind against forced entry and achieves acoustic insulation of 30dB.  To harmonise with the garage door and the home’s exterior aesthetic, the entrance door is finished in a silk matt Agate grey on both sides and features modern polished stainless-steel handles and concealed hinges for a flawless, contemporary finish. Internally, the project was completed with a total of 12 Hörmann ProLine Duradecor doors, including nine side-hinged, two pocket, and a 30-minute fire door connecting the integral garage to the living area of the house. Constructed from high-quality timber materials with a vibrant, textured laminated surface, the doors deliver a clean, sophisticated finish that complements the home’s modern interior design.

The flush-fitted doors are finished in Salt Oak, providing a natural woodgrain texture that is both visually appealing and low-maintenance. The owners selected this colour to harmonise with the interior’s subtle tones and natural finishes, creating a cohesive and contemporary living environment. Supplied as complete door sets, the Hörmann interior doors are quick and easy to install, with all locks, handles, and hinges pre-routed. They fit seamlessly within the door aperture without drilling or screws, require no painting or decorating, and can even be installed as a ‘last-fit’ after carpets and flooring are laid, making them an ideal choice for modern builds and renovations.

Reflecting on the project, the homeowner commented, "This was an exciting project, and while we were already familiar with Hörmann garage doors, we hadn’t previously considered them for entrance and internal doors. From the outset, we worked closely with Adam at A S Doors, who guided us through the entire process and was invaluable in helping us select the right doors for our home."

"Visiting Hörmann’s headquarters in Coalville and speaking directly with their in-house experts further strengthened our confidence in the products and the team behind them. Sustainability was a key priority for us. Alongside features such as solar panels, a heat pump and underfloor heating, the Hörmann garage and entrance doors aligned perfectly with our goals thanks to their excellent thermal efficiency. It was also important to us that all the doors, both internal and external, are CO₂-neutral.

While the build itself was occasionally stressful, having a strong team that worked really well with each other made all the difference. A S Doors worked seamlessly with our builder, and a shared commitment to quality is reflected in the final result. Now that we’re fully moved in, we can truly enjoy a home that not only looks fantastic but also provides a secure and sustainable future.” For more information on Hörmann residential doors visit Garage Doors, Operators and Front Doors | Hörmann
