Hormann Power Operated Doors for Stowmarket Fire Station

The beautiful Suffolk town of Stowmarket is one of a number of towns earmarked to have a new joint fire and police station. And the finishing touches are just being put in place on the building works for it. The new station is being constructed by Morgan Sindall. And we were asked by them to install four power operated Hormann doors.

The Stowmarket station is the first to have a completely new building. The 11 other shared stations in this blue light collaboration have all involved refurbishment and extensions to existing sites.

We supplied and installed four Hörmann SPU F42 Double skinned insulated sectional doors to fit openings measuring 4000mm wide x 4500mm high. All doors comply with EN 13241-1 (requirements for safety in use of power operated doors).

Door statistics:

• Wind pressure to EN 12424: Class 3.
• Water tightness EN 12425: Class 3
• Air Permeability BS EN 12426: Class 2
• EN 717-1 Sound insulation R= 22dB
• Manual opening force <260 N
• Closing force <400 N.

The doors were manufactured to include Vision Windows consisting of die-cast zinc frames finished in RAL 9011 Graphite Black and 26mm clear synthetic double panes with DURATEC coating.
