Hormann LPU42 L Ribbed (Titan Metallic CH703) Insulated Sectional Door garage door Steel Hormann

Hormann LPU42 L Ribbed Titan Metallic CH703 Made to Measure Insulated Garage Door

When you want a garage door that looks like it was designed specifically for your property, the combination of a made to measure fit and the Titan Metallic CH703 finish on the L Ribbed LPU42 is hard to beat. Hormann manufactures this model in Germany to your own opening dimensions, so the wide horizontal ribs and deep anthracite metallic foil span the aperture exactly as intended, with no infill panels or visible compromises. It is a strong choice for homeowners who see the garage door as part of the overall architecture rather than an afterthought.

Made to Measure for a Resolved Result

Many garages do not follow standard sizing, whether through extensions, wider than average double bays or altered lintel heights. In these cases it makes more sense to order a door that is built to suit the opening than to adapt brickwork and frames around a stock size. This made to measure LPU42 L Ribbed Titan Metallic door carries the full visual impact of the standard model, but with the added benefit of precise sizing in both width and height. The panel layout is proportioned to your actual opening, the springs and operator can be set for the true door weight and the perimeter seals are positioned to make consistent contact all around the frame.

Standard White Frame and Frame Cover Profiles

The standard Hormann steel fixing frame supplied with the LPU42 range is factory finished in white as standard, regardless of which door colour or finish you choose. In many installations the frame legs sit neatly behind the brickwork or reveal and the white finish is only partly visible, which can work well with lighter facades and internal reveals.

Where the frame edges are more exposed, or you prefer a consistent colour around the opening, Hormann offers frame cover profiles in a range of finishes. These slim cover sections simply clip or fix over the visible frame legs to match or contrast with the door finish. For a Titan Metallic CH703 door you can specify matching frame covers to blend the frame into the door colour, or you can choose a different tone to pick out the opening as a separate feature. This gives plenty of flexibility on site, especially on properties with mixed materials or where the brickwork around the garage opening has already been painted.

L Ribbed Titan Metallic Design

Titan Metallic CH703 is not a standard paint, it is a factory applied foil with a fine metallic grain that reacts to changes in natural light. The surface can look slightly different at midday in bright sun compared with a dull winter afternoon and can appear even richer when the door is wet. The L Ribbed profile uses wide, flat ribs that make the most of this effect, because the high points and recesses of each rib catch the light differently across the face of the door. This gives the impression of depth and movement that a flat panel door cannot offer.

The design sits very comfortably next to steel and glass extensions, pale grey render, exposed concrete or darker brickwork. It works particularly well where the garage door is intended to contribute to the elevation alongside other strong materials and details, rather than quietly disappear into the background.

Five Year Finish Warranty

The Titan Metallic foil is bonded to the steel face of each panel in controlled factory conditions. It is specified for ultraviolet resistance in typical United Kingdom weather and designed to be easy to clean using normal non abrasive cleaners. Hormann supports the Titan Metallic finish with a separate 5 year surface warranty under normal domestic use, which gives confidence that the appearance on day one should remain stable for many years without severe fading or chalking.

LPU42 Thermal and Weather Performance

Behind the metallic surface this is a full specification LPU42 sectional door. The panels are double skinned steel with a rigid polyurethane foam core and a thickness of 42 mm, giving very good thermal insulation and a fitted door U value of approximately 1.3 W per square metre Kelvin when installed correctly. This helps to keep the garage space more stable in temperature, which is important where the garage is attached to the house or used regularly.

Continuous rubber seals around the head, both sides and along the bottom edge of the door help to reduce draughts, dust and rain ingress. On a made to measure door the frame and seals are sized to suit your exact opening, which means the seal lines are more consistent all around the perimeter. A flexible bottom seal follows small variations in floor level, while the patented plastic frame shoe at the base of each side track helps to protect the most exposed part of the frame from standing water and corrosion.

Electric Operation and Bi Secur Control

This made to measure Titan Metallic LPU42 is designed to work seamlessly with Hormann electric operators such as the ProMatic and SupraMatic. The smooth running track system and correctly balanced springs make it easy for the operator to move the door, even on larger made to measure widths. With a ceiling mounted motor you can control the door via hand transmitters, wall mounted push buttons or optional external keypads, making daily use far more convenient than lifting a door manually.

The ProMatic operator is suitable for many small to medium size made to measure doors and offers quiet, reliable operation, soft start and soft stop and integrated lighting that switches on automatically when the door moves. For wider or heavier doors, or where you prefer faster opening speeds and additional features, the SupraMatic operator is the better option. It offers higher pulling force and noticeably faster travel speeds, together with extra options such as partial opening for ventilation on some versions.

Both operators use the Hormann Bi Secur radio system. This is a two way encrypted protocol which helps to prevent unauthorised copying of the remote control signal. Selected Bi Secur hand transmitters can also indicate whether the door is currently open or closed, even when you cannot see it directly, which is a useful reassurance feature. The operator rail includes a mechanical locking device that engages when the door is closed, helping to hold the door leaf securely in place against the frame and resist attempts to force it upwards from outside.

Security and Long Term Support

Double tension springs and safety cables on each side of the door provide protection in the unlikely event of a spring failure, helping to prevent the door from dropping suddenly. When combined with a compatible ProMatic or SupraMatic operator, the system monitors movement and will stop and reverse automatically if the door meets an obstruction while closing, helping to protect people, vehicles and other objects in the opening.

Hormann supports the door assembly with a 10 year warranty for normal domestic use and provides separate warranty cover for the operator. With a long established supply chain and good parts availability, this made to measure LPU42 L Ribbed Titan Metallic CH703 door and operator combination offers a long term, practical and visually distinctive solution for a wide range of properties.

User Information/Care

Finish - Steel Doors

The coating process applied to the door and chassis is environmentally friendly. Minor scratches or marks are not covered under the conditions of our warranty and should be repaired immediately to prevent corrosion and deterioration of the panel. Corrosive substances such as acids, alkalines, and salts, etc. should be cleaned from the door immediately; failure to do so will result in deterioration of the finish, which will not be covered under our warranty. Should deterioration of the finish start to occur you will need to repaint your door immediately. Prepare the surface lightly with wet and dry. Then treat with solvent based 2 pack epoxy wash primer and a normal commercial paint (cellulose paint must not be used). Hörmann steel doors are a finished product. They do not require re-painting on site. They are however not immune to damage, which can occur at any stage of the handling of the product from factory to site.

Finish - Timber Doors

Timber panels are coated with a neutralising base-stain. Doors must be stored upright, under cover, with wrapping intact, until wrapping is removed. As soon as the door is unwrapped, one coat of a good quality basecoat primer must be applied to both sides of the door. Immediately after installation, your timber doors require a further two coats of a good quality exterior wood finish on both sides. Initial application and periodic treatment should be carried out strictly in accordance with the woodstain manufacturer's instructions. Failure to follow these instructions will result in early deterioration of the timber panel.

Finish - GRP Doors

GRP door panels should periodically washed down using water. This should be done more frequently if fitted near the sea. Bird droppings will bleach the finish on GRP. and should be removed using water as soon as possible. GRP doors should not be painted over.

Paint Finish - Steel Doors

Minor surface damage can easily be repaired using touch up sprays or sticks without invalidating warranties.
