The Hormann LPU42 M Ribbed sectional garage door offers a very practical mix of everyday usability, insulation and security for standard size garages. The medium ribbed design suits a wide range of house styles, while the 42 mm insulated steel panels help keep the garage space more comfortable throughout the year. When paired with a Hormann electric operator, the door can be opened and closed at the touch of a button and benefits from a secure mechanical locking action built into the operator rail, which holds the door firmly shut and makes it much harder to force open from outside.
- 42mm Insulated steel panels
- Vertical Operation
- High levels of sealing, insulation and security
- A High Performance Door at any size
Hormann LPU42 M Ribbed Insulated Sectional Garage Door in Standard Sizes
The Hormann LPU42 M Ribbed sectional garage door takes one of the most widely used ribbed designs and combines it with a choice of practical surface finishes and 17 standard colours. The medium rib pattern is neat and balanced, which suits both older and more modern homes. With insulated 42 mm steel panels, vertical opening and sizes available up to 6000 mm wide and 3000 mm high, it provides a straightforward, robust solution for everyday family garages.
Standard Sizes with UK and European Options
GarageDoorsOnline offers this M Ribbed door in a mixture of traditional United Kingdom standard sizes and European metric sizes. In practice that means you can choose doors that match common imperial width references used on older garages, as well as metric sizes taken from the wider Hormann range for newer or extended openings. This blended size offer gives much more versatility than relying on one system alone and makes it easier to find a door that fits comfortably into an existing opening without excessive packing or structural changes.
Across these combined size ranges there are standard doors available for typical single garages and selected double widths up to 6000 mm wide and 3000 mm high. Using one of these standard size combinations usually gives the best balance of cost, lead time and ease of installation. If your opening still falls outside these brackets, a made to measure M Ribbed specification can be looked at separately.
Medium Rib Profile Timeless and Versatile
The M Ribbed profile uses a medium width horizontal rib pattern that is noticeable without being dominant. It adds just enough detail to break up the door surface and provide extra rigidity, but it does not force the door into a strictly modern or strictly traditional category. This makes it an easy choice on streets where different house styles sit side by side and on properties where you want the garage door to sit comfortably in the background rather than stand out.
Slategrain and Woodgrain Surface Options
On this particular M Ribbed model you can choose between Slategrain and Woodgrain external finishes. Slategrain is a more pronounced texture developed to echo the natural curves and structure of slate. It gives the ribs a slightly softer, more organic feel and works well alongside modern renders, stone slips and slate effect roof or cladding materials. The texture also helps to disguise small marks and everyday scuffs.
Woodgrain is an embossed finish that imitates the look of sawn timber boards. It is particularly suitable on more traditional homes or where you are replacing an older timber door and want to keep some of that character. The grain pattern makes light scratches and knocks far less obvious than they would be on a completely smooth surface, which is useful on a busy family driveway. Both finishes are factory applied to the outer steel skin and are designed for long term external use in typical United Kingdom weather.
Seventeen Standard Colours
Across the Slategrain and Woodgrain surfaces there are 17 standard colours available, covering most common choices for United Kingdom properties. Traffic White RAL 9016 is the familiar clean white, but there are also several greys including popular slate and anthracite tones, plus browns and greens that sit well with brickwork, landscaping and timber features. This spread of colours means you can usually find an option that either blends neatly with existing doors and windows or provides a subtle contrast without looking out of place.
For more specific schemes, many additional RAL colours can be specified as a special order at extra cost, which is helpful if you are tying the garage door into a particular cladding or frame colour on a new build or refurbishment project.

Warranty
Hörmann products are manufactured to the highest quality standards and leave our factory only after rigorous quality testing. However, if you should have grounds for complaint, this section tells you what our door warranty offers, and how to go about making your claim.
In the unlikely event of a warranty claim becoming necessary, please contact the dealer or distributor who originally supplied your garage door. Your dealer should then supply details of the claim, together with a copy of the warranty card provided with the door and proof of purchase to the Product Services Department at Hörmann (UK) Ltd. To enable your claim under warranty to be processed as quickly as possible, you should provide the following details:
1 Your name, address and telephone number
2 Original invoice with date of purchase
3 Product description/door type and product number
4 Description of defect
An assessment of the claim will then be made. This may require Hörmann to inspect the product in-situ. In the event that there is no legitimate warranty claim under the terms specified herein, you may be liable for the costs of the inspection visit. We strongly recommend that you take note of the care and usage instructions displayed on the stickers on the back of your garage door, and on the page opposite, and that you follow these instructions throughout.

Requirements
Warranty claims are only applicable in the country where the garage door was purchased. The product must have been purchased through our authorised distribution channels. The warranty only covers damage to the contract object. The fully completed warranty card together with the receipt of purchase correspondingly dated substantiates your right to claim under the warranty.
Performance
During the warranty period we undertake to rectify any and all defects to the Hörmann product which can be proved to be attributed to a material or manufacturing fault. We pledge at our discretion either to exchange the defective merchandise for faultless merchandise, repair it or allow a reduction in price. We do not accept costs for dismantling and installation nor for carriage.
Replaced parts become our property.
The warranty does not cover damage caused through:
• normal wear and tear
• improper installation
• negligent care and maintenance
• improper initial and subsequent operation
• negligent or wanton destruction
• external influences such as fire, water, salts, alkaline solutions, acids, abnormal environmental influences
• mechanical damage through improper transport and fitting

Electric Operator Warranty
A separate 5 year warranty is granted on our electric operators. This includes operator mechanics, motor and motor control systems. A 2 year warranty is granted on radio equipment, accessories and system controls. There is no warranty on consumables (e.g. fuses, batteries, bulbs etc.).
By always fitting a Hörmann operator, you are supplying a tried and tested solution, where the operator has been optimally matched to the door, and you can be assured that their Hörmann door and operator combination will provide reliable operation for many years. Therefore, if you fit a non-Hörmann operator on a Hörmann door, the customer's Warranty will not be valid.
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.
