Garage door "Hormann"
The German company "Hormann" is known throughout the world. Its products are represented by a wide range of reliable, strong, aesthetic and durable garage doors. A large selection of designs equipped with an automation system, the ability to easily control, including remote control, and the widest selection of colors, are able to cover the entire spectrum of existing needs. This is a perfect system with vertical and horizontal opening / closing method, increased tightness, noiselessness and safety.
Garage doors are sections made of galvanized steel 0.55 mm and having their own thickness of 42 mm. The sections have nine standard height sizes, among which only one is chosen for the production of gates. The heat capacity of the door is 0.95-3.5 W / m2K. The product is characterized by increased reliability of fastenings, including the hinge attachment to the web, practicality (the ability to install wickets, sandwich glazing, grilles, aluminum frames) and aesthetics (handle design, 12 color options, 3 types of embossing).
Particular attention is paid to security issues, as a result of which the Hormann gates are not manufactured without protection against pinching fingers, a device that prevents cable breakage, and an electronic security system. But with all the advantages, Hormann garage doors have one significant drawback - this is a high, not affordable price, as a result of which consumers often look for an inexpensive alternative.
Garage Doors “DoorHan”
The Russian company “DoorHan” is well known in the production of industrial doors, including garage doors. The design of the gate is similar to the previous one. At the moment, the manufacturer is sensitively monitoring consumer reviews and solves emerging design problems. DoorHan doors are designed in five sizes for section heights. For manufacturing, galvanized steel with a thickness of 0.45 mm is used, which is thinner than that of other manufacturers. The thickness of the section itself is 40 mm, which is slightly less than the product of the German and Belarusian companies.
DoorHan gates are equipped with a finger trap system installed only on a garage door, a protective mechanism against cable and spring breaks, and automatic equipment. The heat capacity of the product is 0.5 W / m2K. DoorHan manufacturer of doors has improved the strength of the hinge to the canvas, where several layers of metal are currently used (the German analog has 4 layers). Equipment with gates, sandwich-glazing, aluminum frames and other accessories is possible.
Garage door "Alutech"
The gates of the Belarusian company Alutech have all the advantages of a German manufacturer, and in a number of positions they surpass it. This is a 45 mm thick sandwich panel made of 0.5 mm steel sheets, excellent thermal insulation performance, increased strength of joints in especially loaded areas, including the place of hinge attachment (the unit is also reinforced with 4 metal sheets). This is the ability to repeat any configuration of the opening and perform installation in cramped conditions.

The security and control systems for Alutech doors are identical to the German Hormann. This is the presence of a protective system from pinching fingers and breaking the cable, the presence of remote controls, an automation system, induction loops and much more. Alutech gates can be considered an exact copy of Hormann, but cheaper and more affordable. Acceptable for the majority cost combined with high European quality contributes to a rapid increase in demand for Belarusian products.
Qualitatively. Expensive. "Hormann."
We tried to make out the main design and operational features of the garage doors of each of the manufacturers. The undisputed leader in this regard is undoubtedly the German manufacturer "Hormann". Uncompromising build quality coupled with high-quality materials allow the gates of this manufacturer to stay on top. BUT. For most consumers, one of the main criteria in choosing a sectional door for a garage is their cost. You have to pay for quality, so the gates from a German company are the most expensive in comparison with Russian or Belarusian counterparts, often the price of "Hormann" repels potential buyers. What to do in this case? You can consider the budget gate of the domestic manufacturer "DoorHan" or Belarusian "Alutech".
"Alutech" - the golden mean
And it really is! The Belarusian company managed to combine in its gates the excellent quality of materials and construction at a very reasonable cost! Gates are produced in Belarus in modern full-cycle production. Structurally, these gates are not much different from the German grandeur "Hormann", and in some ways even surpass it, and the full automatic production cycle of the gates allows to achieve very good assembly quality of the whole structure. We recommend that all customers pay attention to the gate products of this manufacturer, this is an excellent example of a combination of "price-quality"!
