The construction of the garage can not be imagined without a gate. They are often made independently. In this case, they usually have a swing system. However, such solutions can be purchased in finished form. They are presented for sale in a wide range. Among others - sectional doors "Herman", which will be discussed below.
Dimensions
The above gates are made today in a variety of options. Among others, standard sizes should be distinguished, they vary from 2250 x 1875 mm to 6000 x 2250 mm. An example is the EPU 40 with dimensions of 2500 x 2125 mm. This option is one of the leaders in sales in Russia. This pattern is natural, because the ratio of quality and price is at a high level.
As for operation, it surprises with reliability and ease. The basis is a sandwich panel of two steel sheets, between which there is a frozen polyurethane. The thickness of the panel is 20 mm, and in the place where the sections are connected to each other, 42 mm. This design retains heat in the garage, and makes the system itself safe and quiet. The size of the Herman sectional door can be 2750 x 2250 mm. The thickness remains the same as in the above embodiment. You can choose different types of corrugations to choose from, which differ in height. Price varies depending on this.
Features of the device: types of construction
Sectional doors from the manufacturer "Herman" are presented for sale in several varieties of designs. The guides may have a spring tension or a system of torsion springs. In the first case, the maximum web width reaches 3000 mm, in the second - 6000 mm.
The same distance is ensured between the corrugations, so the transitions between the sections are invisible. The gates are characterized by a uniform distribution of corrugations. When closed, the surface remains almost smooth. On request, you can purchase side doors that will be made in line with the corrugations of the sectional doors.
The design provides for the presence of many parts, among them it is necessary to highlight the compensating panel in the jumper zone. It is available for white gates and all surface options. At the gate, all components must fit together. For gates with a Silkgrain surface, the manufacturer offers different guide linings. But for a system with a Micrograin surface, the lining will be smooth.
On the outside, the steel sections are covered with a layer that protects the material from ultraviolet radiation. It performs another function - it accurately conveys the natural structure of wood. On sale a choice of 6 surface options. Sectional doors "Herman" also have a plastic base rail, which has anti-corrosion characteristics. Its height is 4 cm and provides structural protection in conditions of prolonged dampness.
If the garage is part of a residential building, then the manufacturer offers to purchase a gate with high-quality thermal insulation. It is implemented with a guide seal. A black plastic profile is supplied with the rails. It is easy to install and has a thermal separation between the brick wall and the frame. This improves thermal insulation by 15%. An additional option is a gasket for all sections.
Sectional doors "Herman" may provide for the presence of a gate without a threshold, which provides easy access to the garage. Without opening the gate, you can take garden tools or roll out a bicycle. If necessary, you can set the threshold of stainless steel, the height of which in the center will be 10 mm, and at the edges - 5 mm. This not only makes rolling out easier, but also reduces the risk of tripping. Uninvited guests such a gate leaves no chance. When they are closed, safety devices are activated. The locking system is patented. It works even in the absence of power supply.
Preparation Recommendations
As one of the advantages of the Herman sectional doors, the dimensions of which were mentioned above, their versatility is advocated. It is expressed in the fact that the design is suitable for an opening of any configuration. It does not take up much space in the room and reliably closes the entrance.
To ensure higher tightness, it is necessary to prepare an opening. The surface should be perfectly flat. This is due to the fact that even the smallest gaps between the load-bearing elements of the gate and the walls will reduce the reliability of fixation and density. The opening must be put in order before installation, because otherwise the system can be damaged.
If the lining has an unattractive appearance, chips and cracks, the finish should be removed and the opening plastered. When the walls are made of gas silicate or foam block, they are usually reinforced with a steel frame so that the structure does not become loose during movement. Installation of sectional doors "Herman" can be carried out in the opening, which is made of other materials, in this case, you should refuse to install the frame.
For reference
The surface of the walls on both sides of the opening should be in the same plane so that there are no deviations vertically and horizontally. The floor line is also checked with a level. If necessary, it should be leveled, since the adjacency of the door edge will depend on this. The room is cleaned of bulky objects and devices, as well as communications. The foundations of the structure can be assembled on the floor, so there should be enough free space.
Preparation of tools and materials
If you purchased a Hormann door, for their installation it will be necessary to carry out marking, as well as make sure the availability of components, tools and materials, among them are:
- measuring instruments;
- Phillips screwdriver
- electric drill;
- pliers;
- set of drills;
- spanners;
- level;
- grinder.
The hammer can be replaced with an electric drill. The gates are equipped with their own fasteners. The screws are half screwed into the parts, so when installing them, you will only need to tighten tightly. The gates during preparation are unpacked and laid out for assembly. To mark the fixation lines, it is necessary to use the profile bar and horizontally attach it to the wall, stepping back 1 m from the floor. When assembled at the Hormann gate, the guides must be connected in a horizontal position, which will avoid deformation of the frame.
Installation Features
Sectional garage doors "Herman" can be installed independently. An opening for this should be prepared. It is necessary to cut gaskets and align its geometry. The surface is leveled by bars and laths. The frame is temporarily fixed to the top of the opening.
Next, you can begin to mount the horizontal rails. They should be adjusted for parallelism. If you purchased the Herman overhead sectional door, now you can fix the vertical guides to the frame. Install panels from bottom to top. The cables are fixed to the bottom. Each panel must have rollers.
Specialist recommendation
The tensioner cables should be skipped behind the rollers. The upper roller is adjustable. It is important to make sure that the structure is not skewed or jammed anywhere. Ropes and springs are connected. Work without preliminary preparation can be completed in about 5 hours, slowly and without too much fuss.
Conclusion
The gates from the manufacturer "Herman" during installation should be fixed with self-tapping screws from above and below with the help of guides. It is important to take care of strengthening horizontal profiles. A plastic corner is attached to the guides, and after all the elements are baited with bolts. At the end of horizontal profiles, the retaining bar must be strengthened. The guides are leveled, only after tightly bolted. Under the ceiling should be a rectangle of profiles, and the slats should have the same diagonals.
