Novoferm at BAU 2019
Smart and digital: Customized product solutions for pedestrian, garage and industrial doors and logistics systems
Werth, January 2019. In 2019, BAU in Munich is again showcasing progress in all areas of the construction industry. What is clearly evident is that digitalization is taking over as a key driver of this progress and opening up entirely new opportunities for planning, constructing and operating buildings. Which is also evident in the solutions designed by Novoferm.

As one of Europe's leading system providers of pedestrian, industrial and garage door solutions, loading and logistics systems, Novoferm focuses strongly on digital opportunities – thus making it easier for customers and partners to enter the smart world of Construction 4.0. Numerous products and smart solutions for private, commercial and industrial applications form the basis. Digital applications designed by Novoferm raise efficiency, safety and cost effectiveness in logistics and industry, or enable the integration of Novoferm garage door operators in smart home systems.

Digital networking for Novoferm operators
Make the garage part of every smart home: Simple, safe, convenient and open to all systems
Werth, January 2019. The ‘Internet of Things’ is not only changing products and processes within companies, but also bringing greater convenience and security to the private sector. Intelligently controlled household appliances, heating and alarm systems, roller shutters and even front doors can all communicate with each other and with property owners to transform a

property into a truly intelligent smart home. With this in mind, integrating the garage – or, more specifically, the garage door operator – into this equation is the obvious and logical next step, particularly as leading suppliers such as Novoferm are already offering app-based garage door control systems. Novoferm will therefore be showcasing a major breakthrough at BAU 2019: the full functionality of all newer garage door operators can now be controlled centrally via the app, meaning all sectional garage doors from Novoferm can now become a ‘smart’ component of an ....

The possibilities are endless

The possibilities are endless:
Novoferm introduces a “European” sliding fire door in the form of the NovoSlide Industry
Werth, January 2019. The introduction of the harmonised European product standards for fire-resistant seals (EN 16034) and doors (EN 13241) represented a major step forward in terms of the ongoing harmonisation of the European Single Market. Nevertheless, there are still a number of different building regulations relating to fire protection that also apply in

each of the member states. This is why Novoferm – as one of Europe’s leading suppliers of doors, garage doors, frames and operators – has launched a new generation of sliding fire doors that meets the requirements for all standard European fire resistance classes in full.
The NovoSlide Industry is expected to be available across Europe from the middle of 2019, and can be reliably used in each of the member states as a CE-marked component. What’s more, the NovoSlide Industry also boasts the usual range of Novoferm equipment ....

iso 70 Premium Plus high-end sectional door:
Maximum energy efficiency, smooth running and flawless design
Werth, January 2019. Modern garages have been more than storage rooms for vehicles for some time now. They are seen by the owners as a fully fledged part of the house and should therefore meet the highest functional, qualitative and aesthetic standards: In an energy-efficient house, the garage must not turn into a heat sink, operating noises must not impair living

comfort, and the garage should ideally match and complement the design of the building. At BAU 2019, Novoferm will be presenting the iso 70 Premium Plus, a sectional garage door that sets new standards in all three areas – energy efficiency, smooth running and design.

This high-end solution can also be upgraded with the newly developed Novoferm photoelectric sensor and integration into smart home systems. With the new iso 70 Premium Plus sectional door, Novoferm – as one of Europe’s leading suppliers of doors, garage doors, frames and operators ...

Novoferm standard corner frames with ex works frame backfill
Installing fire-resistant doors is easier, safer and more cost effective with EasyFit
Werth, January 2019. Even the best fireresistant door can only guarantee its fireresistant properties if the frame is expertly installed in line with the necessary approvals. Unfortunately, both the installation and the necessary backfilling of the frame are highly time-consuming manual tasks that are prone to errors. With its innovative EasyFit system, Novoferm is

the first and – until recently – sole provider of standard corner frames with pre-installed special foam. This ex works fire protection makes the installation process faster, safer, cleaner and more economical.

The frame backfill with expanding fireresistant foam strips ensures a fire resistance time of 30 minutes and is therefore the ideal solution for 1-leaf and 2-leaf T30/EI₂ 30 Premio doors by Novoferm. The EasyFit system by Novoferm, one of Europe’s leading suppliers of doors, garage doors, frames and operators, makes installing ....

Don’t slide – glide: An impressive new door system offering convenience, elegance and versatility
Werth, January 2019. Automatic sliding doors have long since been part of the furniture in retail outlets and public buildings. Unlike in countries such as Italy or France, however, they still remain an exception to the rule in apartment blocks, offices and clinics. With the new NovoSlide Wal Rapid sliding door, Novoferm is ensuring that these markets can now also

benefit from a smooth-running solution. This door system, which sits in front of the wall, serves to visibly improve the overall appearance of private and commercial spaces alike. The integrated intelligent maglev operator is an impressive feature that offers highly flexible control options.

Platfom strategy proves worthwhile:
PREMIO as an all-rounder and PLANO for high-end design
Werth, October 2018.

NovoFire^® Thermo for outdoor use
Transparent structures in brand new sizes
Werth, October 2018. Until recently, function was favoured over style when it came to external fire-resistant doors. Planners more or less secured fire protection areas with elaborately designed metal doors. Change has been in the air for some time, driven by higher visual standards, the desire for greater transparency to increase the sense of security and, last but not least, by increased requirements as a result of compact constructions.

Thanks to the NovoFire® Thermo system products designed for outdoor use, Novoferm is also able to provide elegant and transparent fire protection solutions with the best performance data for precisely these environments.

As one of Europe’s leading suppliers of doors, garage doors, frames and operators, the company is also increasing its number of applications and design options: NovoFire^® Thermo tubular frame designs are available in this line with a frame height of up to 260 cm ....

EVO X Leveller – safer, faster and more efficient

October 2018 ❘ Loading technology

EVO X Leveller
– safer, faster and more efficient thanks to digitalisation
Werth, October 2018. The ideal goal of every logistics specialist is to ensure smooth processes while maintaining maximum transparency during every phase and using resources efficiently. There is a need for optimisation in this respect in all aspects of the loading process, in particular for large warehouses and logistics centres. During loading and unloading, the objectives of speed and safety must be balanced,

and the more loading bridges and doors an object has, the more difficult it is to keep an eye on all processes at all times and to optimally coordinate the way the bridges are used.
As one of Europe’s leading suppliers of doors, garage doors, frames and operators, Novoferm has now developed the EVO X to meet these requirements. As the next generation leveller, it combines intelligent safety technology with digital information management and control that is as simple as it is fast.

Werth, October 2018. The fundamental criteria defining the quality of industrial doors are speed, operational safety, reliability and the ability to incorporate building-specific design options. Depending on the operator or field of application, factors such as exceptional thermal insulation and light transparency also play a decisive role.
