Sectional garage doors - the first
with Secured by Design accreditation
The break in resistance of
Hörmann automatic sectional
garage doors has been
recognised by the award of
Secured by Design status.
The accreditation applies to
the combination of Hörmann
insulated or solid timber
sectional doors with the Series 3
BiSecur ProMatic or SupraMatic
operators.
The double skinned, insulated
EPU and LPU doors both feature

solid, CFC free polyurethane
insulation that adds strength
and rigidity to the door. The
EPU door features 20mm thick
insulation across each panel while
for the LPU this is a generous
42mm, giving even better thermal
values.
The LTH solid timber doors are
offered in a number of styles and
buyers also have the option to
have their own individual design
recreated by Hörmann.

The BiSecur ProMatic and
SupraMatic operators both feature
a mechanical lock. This unique
automatic latching system makes
it almost impossible to lever these
doors open, and as it is a purely
mechanical system, it remains
fully functional even in the event
of a power failure.
A wide range of styles and
colours and even bespoke timber
designs ensure there are doors to
suit any home or project.

CELEBRATE TECHNICAL
EXCELLENCE IN JOINERY

The BWF Technical Excellence and
Innovation Award was established in 2009 in
tribute to John Hedgecock, former technical
manager of BWF.
Icklesham Joinery was last year’s winner for its
careful renovation of RSA House in London.
The challenging project required specialised
joinery items that would sympathetically fit a
contemporary specification in a grade II listed
building. Previous winners include JELD-WEN
UK and Welland.
The BWF Apprentice/Trainee of the Year
award recognises joinery and woodworking

apprentices and trainees who have
demonstrated skill, understanding and
significant effort in learning the trade. Last
year’s winner was Chris Lake of GS Haydon &
Son Ltd.
Iain McIlwee, BWF Chief Executive, said:
“The BWF Annual Dinner and Awards is a great
opportunity for the joinery and woodworking
industry to come together and celebrate their
efforts and achievements over the past year. The
entries are always of a high standard and we
look forward to seeing which individuals and
organisations are consistently raising the bar.”
