As Europe’s leading door manufacturer, Hörmann UK, celebrates its 40th anniversary, it is delighted to discover one of it’s up and over
garage doors is still being used 39 years after installation.
Originally
ordered in 1980 for a property in Edinburgh, the N80 902 style garage door
continues to offer outstanding levels of durability and longevity, for which
Hörmann is renowned for.
Owner of
the property and self-employed architect, Rory Gibson, said: “As an architect,
I know that Hörmann UK is synonymous with quality and heritage, so it’s great
to know that my own garage door has stood the test of time. Our garage door was
on the original property when we bought it more than 20 years ago and it’s
remarkable to see that almost four decades later, it still looks good and
operates as well as the day it was installed.
“Over
the years we have never required any maintenance or service to our door, and
have only re-painted it as we updated the exterior of our home. As I now design
property plans for customers, I have no reservations when it comes to
recommending Hörmann UK’s range. I work very closely with Hörmann UK in a
professional capacity because I want to offer my customers the best possible
product, and so it is excellent to have first hand experience of their
exceptional offering and customer service.”
The N80
902 style up-and-over garage door includes a multiple spring safety system so
that if one spring were to break, other springs are robust enough to support
the door. Further adding to the durability of the door, the door includes a
lever arm so that the door pulls itself shut when closing. With softer closures
the door is more likely to stand the test of time.
Area
Sales Manager for Scotland and Northern Ireland, Roy Shellam, commented: “I
have been working with Rory for a number of years, particularly when it comes
to specifying garage doors for his customers.
"However,
it was only recently that we discovered that Rory’s own property includes what
may be one of the earliest Hörmann garage doors to be specified in the UK.
"We
were pleased to hear that he has had a great experience with his N80 door, as
it means that we can say proudly and with confidence that we can support our
customers with quality products and service.”
