The Hormann APU F42 is designed to offer substantial security, an attractive appearance and an abundance of light. With windows created from Duratec maximum scratch resistant glass, your windows will stay clean and scratch free wash after wash. In the the event of collision damage, the bottom section can be easily replaced.

The supreme power of this door lies in its combination
In experience the double-skinned bottom section in steel and the glazing frame in anodized aluminium have proven a winning combination, designed for robustness. The double glazing adds the positive effect of thermal insulation.

Harmonious colour scheme for architecturally modern buildings
With Hormann, the door section elements harmonize perfectly even in the standard colours: white aluminium (based on RAL 9006) for the bottom section in steel, stained in a natural colour (E6/EV1) for the aluminium extrusions, anodized to DIN 17611. Special colours to RAL are available on request.

The bottom section: the basis of a door with high stability
The high stability of the APU F42 door is essentially due to the 750mm high and 42mm thick bottom section which is already a standard feature. Its thick thermal insulating core of 100% CFC-free polyurethane rigid foam produces a robustness that is outstanding. The outer and inner sheet steel is galvanized, coat with a polyester primer and additionally stucco embossed to afford protection against rust and the negative effects of the environment. A further positive; in the event of collision damage, the low-cost bottom section can be easily replaced.

An attractive appearance
The glazed door sections above the bottom section are always evenly spaced. APU F42 doors always have a bototm section. These are 500mm, 750mm, 1000mm or 1500mm high.

Description

Maximum Natural Light for Industrial Facilities

 
The Hormann APU F42 Vision represents the perfect solution for industrial premises requiring extensive natural light penetration whilst maintaining robust structural performance. This sectional door combines aluminium glazing sections with an insulated steel bottom panel, creating an optimal balance between visibility, thermal efficiency, and durability for commercial and industrial applications.
 
Featuring extensive aluminium-framed glazing panels across the majority of the door height, the APU F42 Vision delivers exceptional daylight transmission into warehouses, logistics facilities, vehicle showrooms, and manufacturing spaces. The transparent sections utilise real glass panels mounted in Series 60 aluminium extrusions, providing uniformly divided fields that create an architecturally refined appearance whilst flooding interior spaces with natural light.
 

Advanced Hybrid Construction System

The APU F42 Vision employs a sophisticated hybrid construction approach. The upper sections feature 42mm-deep aluminium profiles with extensive glazing, whilst the robust bottom section utilises double-skinned, PU-foamed steel construction. This steel base section provides essential impact resistance and dirt protection in the critical lower zone, where door panels face the greatest wear from forklift operations and vehicle movements.
 
The 42mm section depth offers self-supporting stability whilst maintaining relatively lightweight construction, enabling smooth operation with standard sectional door operators. Maximum dimensions accommodate 7000mm width and 7500mm height, suitable for large-format industrial openings.
 

Robust Performance Characteristics

Manufactured to Hormann's exacting industrial standards, the APU F42 Vision achieves Class 3 wind load resistance (up to 120 km/h), ensuring stable operation in exposed locations. Class 3 watertightness performance provides effective weather protection, whilst Class 2 air permeability minimises unwanted air infiltration.
 

Wicket Door Integration 

For facilities requiring convenient pedestrian access, the APU F42 Vision can incorporate an integrated wicket door with 940mm clear passage width, providing comfortable walk-through access with trip-free threshold design. This significantly improves operational efficiency by reducing unnecessary full door cycles.
 

Surface Finishes and Safety Features 

The aluminium frame sections are available in anodised E6/C0 finish as standard, with RAL colour coating options available. The steel bottom section features galvanised steel with powder-coated finish in RAL 9002 or custom RAL colours. Comprehensive safety features include finger trap protection, side trap guards, and spring break safeguards.
