Hormann hs 7030 pu aluminium high speed roller doors

Hormann HS 7030 PU 42 Insulated High Speed Door

The Hormann HS 7030 PU 42 represents a significant leap forward in industrial door technology. It is a high-speed, smooth-faced aluminium spiral door that is also available with sectional overhead track mechanisms. This innovative system effectively provides you with "three doors in one," combining the security of an external roller shutter, the thermal insulation of a sectional door, and the rapid action of a fabric high-speed door.

A Complete Solution: Security, Speed & Insulation

Traditionally, controlling the internal climate of a busy logistics building required a cumbersome two-door setup: a slow, heavy roller shutter for overnight security and a separate fabric rapid-roll door for daytime use. The HS 7030 PU eliminates this need completely.

By specifying this door, you are investing in a single, high-performance unit that offers:

• High Speed Operation: Rapid opening speeds to optimise logistics flow.
• Exceptional Insulation: 42mm PU-foamed sections with thermal breaks to control internal temperatures.
• Solid Security: A robust physical barrier that protects your premises when closed.

Unique Non-Contact Roll-Up Technology

At the heart of the HS 7030 PU is Hormann’s innovative non-contact spiral technology. Unlike standard roller shutters where the curtain layers touch and grind against each other, the sections of this door are guided into a circular spiral bracket without ever making contact. This engineering masterpiece prevents wear, ensures whisper-quiet operation at high speeds, and preserves the pristine visual aesthetics of the door panels for years to come.

Versatile Track Options: Spiral, High-Lift, or Vertical

While the circular spiral bracket is the standard configuration for compact efficiency, we understand that every building layout is different. The HS 7030 PU system is highly adaptable and can be specified with alternative sectional-style track mechanisms to suit your specific headroom and structural constraints:

• Spiral Track: The standard compact solution for fast, non-contact rolling.
• High-Lift (H) Track: An optional tracked mechanism that guides the door sections up and along the ceiling, ideal for clearing overhead obstructions or supply lines.
• Vertical (V) Track: A purely vertical lift mechanism for buildings with ample height, allowing the door to travel straight up the wall.

Performance & Safety Features

The HS 7030 PU is packed with advanced features designed for long service life and low maintenance:

• Thermally Insulated: The double-skinned 42mm anodised aluminium profiles are constructed with thermal breaks, delivering excellent U-values to significantly reduce energy costs.
• Powerful Control: Equipped with a frequency converter (FU) control system as standard, the door achieves exceptionally fast opening speeds (up to 2.5 m/s depending on size/track) whilst maintaining precise, smooth travel.
• Smart Safety: Features a standard safety light grille integrated into the side elements, monitoring the closing zone without contact to protect personnel and forklifts.
• Easy Repair: The sectional design allows for individual profile slats to be easily replaced if damaged, minimising downtime and repair costs.
• Manual Operation: The door includes spring compensation support, making it easy to open manually by hand—a crucial feature often missing from standard high-speed doors. (Optional Electric UPS emergency operation is available).

Bespoke Manufacturing

Important Pricing Note: Due to the highly customisable nature of this product—including the choice of spiral or tracked mechanisms, precise size requirements, and various access control methods—we cannot provide an accurate cost online. Every door is made to measure to your exact specifications.

Ideal Applications

The Hormann HS 7030 PU is designed to replace the traditional (and expensive) dual-door setup of a roller shutter plus a fabric high-speed door. This makes it the perfect "all-in-one" solution for buildings where logistics efficiency, thermal performance, and security are all equally critical.

Typical applications include:

• Logistics & Distribution Centres: Where high-speed access is needed for forklifts, but thermal insulation is required to reduce heating costs during quieter periods.
• Emergency Services Stations: Fire, ambulance, and police stations require the fastest possible exit speeds combined with high security and reliability.
• Automotive Manufacturing: Protecting high-value production lines and stock while allowing rapid inter-building traffic.
• External Security Perimeters: Ideal for car parks, secure compounds, and high-value commercial units where visual aesthetics and physical security are paramount.
• Temperature-Controlled Warehousing: The thermal breaks and rapid cycle times minimise air exchange, making it suitable for chilled or heated environments (though dedicated cold-store models like the Iso Speed Cold are recommended for deep freeze).

The "Three-in-One" Benefit

By installing the HS 7030 PU, you are effectively solving three building requirements with a single investment:

1. Daytime High-Speed Access: Functions exactly like a rapid-roll fabric door, speeding up workflow and reducing waiting times for staff and vehicles.
2. Climate Control: Functions like an insulated sectional door, sealing the building against heat loss (or gain) to lower energy bills and improve carbon footprints.
3. Night-time Security: Functions like a heavy-duty security shutter, providing a robust physical barrier against intruders when the facility is closed.

Adaptable to Your Building

Thanks to the versatile track options, this door can be installed in almost any industrial space:

• Low Headroom? The Spiral track fits compactly above the opening.
• Obstructed Ceiling? The Spiral track keeps the door mechanism contained, avoiding clashes with cranes, lighting, or sprinklers.
• High Ceilings? The Vertical (V) or High-Lift (H) track options allow the door to follow the roofline or wall, keeping the opening completely clear.

Smart Monitoring for Busy Operations

For high-intensity logistics hubs, the standard SmartControl system allows facility managers to monitor door cycles and performance remotely. This enables proactive maintenance scheduling, ensuring the door remains operational during peak critical periods—vital for 24/7 distribution centres.

The Hörmann HS 7030 PU F42 is a high‑specification industrial spiral door manufactured to order and supplied with extensive prefabricated components that must be assembled and commissioned by qualified door installation specialists. Due to the size, weight and technical complexity of this door system, professional installation with appropriate lifting and handling equipment is mandatory for safe fitting and correct operational performance.

Site Requirements & Access

Prior to delivery, the installation site must be prepared with suitable structural openings, confirmed lintel heights (standard application requires 850 mm, reduced lintel option requires 450 mm minimum) and verified substrate suitability for heavy‑duty fixings. The door can be fitted internally or externally depending on application, with spiral track configuration requiring adequate side room and headroom clearance for the insulated sections to travel and coil correctly.

Safe vehicle access for delivery of palletised components and sufficient working space around the opening for assembly equipment, scaffolding or elevated work platforms is essential. The HS 7030 PU features hot‑galvanised double‑skinned steel sections with 42 mm PU foam infill; the complete door assembly is substantial and requires mechanical handling equipment for safe positioning and installation.

Structural Fixing & Load Bearing

Side frames and header components must be securely fixed to structurally sound substurfaces using appropriate fixings for the substrate type. Hörmann specifies concrete screws for cracked or uncracked concrete C20/25 and brickwork, long shaft plugs for concrete C12/15, gas concrete and solid brick, or metric screws for steel substrates with verified material thickness and load capacity. Deviating substrates require specialist fixings selected by the installer based on structural surveys and load calculations.

The complete door system, including the chain mechanism, spring compensation assembly, frequency converter control unit and safety light grille, must be installed in accordance with Hörmann's detailed fitting instructions and all structural connections verified before commissioning.

Electrical Installation & Control Configuration

Electrical connection and configuration of the high‑performance frequency converter (FU) control system must be carried out by qualified electrical contractors in compliance with current UK wiring regulations and the manufacturer's electrical installation instructions. The FU control manages opening speeds up to 2.5 m/sec and closing speeds up to 0.5 m/sec, along with smooth acceleration and deceleration to reduce mechanical stress and extend service life.

Additional control elements such as remote transmitters, push button stations, loop detectors, photocells or integration with building management systems are configured during commissioning. The integrated safety light grille monitoring the closing zone up to 2500 mm height must be tested and calibrated as part of the installation process.

Commissioning, Testing & Handover

Following mechanical and electrical installation, the complete door system must be commissioned, tested and adjusted by the installation team. This includes verification of opening and closing speeds, safety device operation, emergency stop functions, manual override mechanisms (winch chain with spring balancing) and all electrical interlocks. Force limitation and obstacle detection must be tested and set in accordance with EN 13241‑1 safety standards.

Upon completion, the installer provides operational training for site personnel, hands over all documentation including CE marking, Declaration of Performance, maintenance schedules and emergency procedures, and confirms warranty registration with Hörmann.

Why Professional Installation Matters

Correct installation of the HS 7030 PU F42 ensures maximum door performance, operational safety, energy efficiency and longevity. Improper installation can compromise the thermal insulation performance (UD value 1.95 W/m²·K for 25 m² door), wind load resistance (Class 4, approximately 130 km/h), soundproofing (R = 22 dB) and the warranty coverage provided by Hörmann.

Measuring for the Hörmann HS 7030 PU F42

Accurate measurement and detailed site survey are essential prerequisites for ordering the Hörmann HS 7030 PU F42 high-speed door. This is a bespoke industrial door system manufactured to exact dimensions with prefabricated components tailored to your specific opening, lintel configuration and operational requirements. Incorrect or incomplete measurements will result in delays, additional costs and potential fitting complications.

Made‑to‑Measure Manufacturing

The HS 7030 PU F42 is available in sizes up to 5000 mm width and 5000 mm height (maximum 20 m² opening area), with all door sections, spiral tracks, header assemblies and control components manufactured specifically for your measured opening. Every order requires verified structural opening dimensions, available headroom, side room clearances and confirmation of internal or external mounting configuration before production can commence.

Key Dimensions Required

The following measurements must be accurately recorded during the site survey:

• Structural opening width – Clear distance between finished wall surfaces at the widest point
• Structural opening height – Clear distance from finished floor level to underside of lintel or structural soffit
• Available lintel height – Clear vertical space above the structural opening for standard lintel (850 mm required) or reduced lintel installation (450 mm minimum)
• Side room clearance – Space to left and right of opening for spiral track frame installation
• Available depth – Clear space behind or in front of the opening for door coil, drive mechanism and control enclosure
• Floor level and condition – Verify finished floor is level, smooth and suitable for bottom seal contact

Structural Opening Tolerances

The structural opening must be square, plumb and level within acceptable tolerances. Openings that are out of square, have uneven reveals or inconsistent floor levels will require rectification work before installation can proceed. Measurements should be taken at multiple points across the width and height to identify any variations in the opening geometry.

For external installations, check for existing weather seals, projections, downpipes or architectural features that may interfere with door frame positioning or operational clearance. Internal installations require verification of ceiling height, overhead services (lighting, cable trays, sprinkler systems) and any structural columns or beams that may restrict the door assembly.

Lintel Configuration Options

The HS 7030 PU F42 offers two lintel configurations depending on available headroom:

• Standard lintel – Requires 850 mm clear height above structural opening; suitable for most industrial applications with adequate overhead clearance
• Reduced lintel – Requires minimum 450 mm clear height above structural opening; specified where headroom is restricted by building structure, mezzanines or overhead services

The lintel configuration must be confirmed at the measurement stage, as it affects component sizing, manufacturing lead time and final installation methodology.

Substrate and Fixing Surface Assessment

During the site survey, the substrate type and condition around the opening perimeter must be assessed and documented. The door frame will be fixed using heavy‑duty mechanical fixings appropriate to the substrate material – concrete, blockwork, brickwork, steel framework or composite construction. Substrates must have adequate thickness, strength and stability to support the installed door weight and operational loads.

Any substrate defects, hollow sections, corroded steelwork or areas of poor structural integrity must be identified and rectified before installation. For steel‑framed buildings, confirm beam dimensions, material thickness and load capacity to ensure secure fixing points are available.

Electrical and Control Requirements

Identify and measure the distance from the door location to the proposed electrical supply point. The HS 7030 PU F42 requires a three‑phase electrical supply (400 V, 50 Hz) with appropriate circuit protection. The location for control panels, push button stations, safety devices and any integration with existing building management or access control systems should be established during the survey.
