Both units have achieved BREEAM ratings of ‘Very Good,’ and have an EPC rating of ‘A’. Supplying both units, Hörmann UK have installed full loading bays with safety and operational equipment including dock buffers, dock lights and traffic lights, plus sectional level access doors and fire exit doorsets.
The total installation consists of fifty-three loading bays and seven level access bays, with the loading bays comprising of Hörmann SPU F42 sectional doors with HTL-2 dock levellers, featuring a one metre telescopic lip which provides an optimal range loading platform.
48 ‘single bay’ and 6 DSS-G ‘double/euro bay’ dock shelters have been installed to provide protection from the elements for both operatives and goods, helping to reduce heat loss during loading and unloading operations. Other elements of the Hörmann loading bay system include reinforced Dock Bumpers. Each loading and level access bay has been fitted with a robust Hörmann sectional door featuring double glazed vision panels.
The doors provide excellent thermal insulation with an impressive overall U-value of between 1.1 and 1.3 Wm2.K. Stucco textured profiles deliver a durable and resilient finish to withstand the external elements, while rubber draught seals to the edges of the leveller’s help minimise heat loss. The provision of 28 STU steel fire exit doorsets, installed throughout both warehouses and offices, completes an impressive range of products supplied by Hörmann UK, all chosen for their quality construction and the impressive service offered by the company. www.hormann.co.uk
