High performance doors are engineered to allow maximum productivity with fast-acting curtains, high-cycle performance and breakaway, self-reset in the event of accidental collisions. With robust safety features and a pressure resistant design, these high performance doors will keep your facility running securely, efficiently and environmentally controlled.
Hörmann Canada is an ISO certified company that is the industry leader in the manufacturing of custom built high-performance industrial doors. Their dedicated team of professionals has nearly two decades of experience in engineering, application problem solving and project management.

For the retail automotive market, fast operating speeds enhance comfort and security.
The Speed-Guardian™ 5000 Series of high performance rigid panel doors has efficient slat design (new overall slat dimensions are 10" high x 1-5/8" thick with improved thermal breaks in the solid slats), NEMA 4X Smart Start™ NXT control box as standard, and optional tinted vision slats for privacy.
One of the largest differences between any steel door and a Hormann rubber door is the use of springs; we don’t use any with our doors. It makes the rubber door much easier to maintain. Springs have an average life of 10,000 cycles; a cycle being when the door opens and closes. Industrial and commercial doors that undergo high-use will reach this lifetime quickly.
As an example, if a door is used 25 times a day for a year, by the end of the year the springs are used 9,100 times. That number might seem high, but for some industries it’s normal or even low. Without pulleys, springs, hinges, or rollers to worry about, the simplicity of our springless design is ultimately the safest option. This results in minimal maintenance and no worst-case scenario emergency repairs for broken springs. The cycle rating for the Hormann rubber doors is at one million.
Safety, Durability, and Energy Savings
On the topic of safety and design, Hormann rubber doors are impactable. When hit hard enough, the rubber doors will break away from the guides and can be reset. Seconds after an accident, a Hormann rubber door is fully operational. With minimal to no downtime after an impact, you don’t need to worry about any logistical issues. When a steel or sectional door is impacted, the process is a little more complicated.
Even if only a few slats of a steel door are damaged, there might be a need to replace even more. Damage can also occur to the guides and moving pieces of the steel door, meaning even more replacement cost. There’s the addition of the challenge to properly align steel slats correctly again. If not placed just right, your roll-up door may have gaps between the panels, leading to a loss of heating or cooling.
A Hormann door eliminates all of these problems with the rubber curtain.
