Roller garage doors
The automatic roller garage door
Roller garage doors are made of high-quality aluminium slats and are manufactured according to the roller shutter principle. This leaves the ceiling in the garage free and no swing space is required in front of the garage, so you can use every last centimetre of space, for example for parking a second car.
For your individual design, Novoferm roller garage doors are available in traffic white and golden oak or in one of nine preferred colours. All NovoRol garage doors are supplied with a tubular motor and two 2-channel hand-held transmitters as standard.
How roller shutters work
THE ROLLING GATE PRINCIPLE
THE ROLLING GATE PRINCIPLE
Roller garage doors are made of high-quality aluminium slats and are manufactured according to the roller shutter principle. The individual slats roll into the roller shutter box in a space-saving manner, similar to the window roller blinds used at home. The vertical tracks are fitted with brush seals, which ensure low-wear door guidance!
This leaves the ceiling in the garage free and no swivelling space is required in front of the garage.

Function and technology

1. housing
Supplied in the standard colour white. Protects the user from jamming and at the same time offers an attractive appearance.
2. Manual operation
We supply a crank handle as standard. This allows the door to be opened manually from the inside, for example if the power fails.
3. Control unit with standard lighting
As soon as you open or close the door, the lighting on the control unit is activated. It switches off again automatically after four minutes.
4. vertical guide rails
The vertical guide rails are fitted with brush seals that ensure low-wear door guidance and good sealing!
5. closing edge safety device
If the door encounters the slightest resistance when closing, the optical closing edge safety device ensures that it stops immediately and opens again.
SPACE REQUIREMENT IN FRONT OF AND IN THE GARAGE
SPACE REQUIREMENT IN FRONT OF AND IN THE GARAGE
Utilise every last centimetre of the space in front of and inside the garage:
As the roller garage door does not require any swing space, it allows storage space for bulky items on the garage ceiling as well as parking a second car in front of the garage.

ROLLING CASE
ROLLING CASE
Each roller shutter door is equipped with a 300 x 300 mm roller shutter box, which can be positioned behind, in or in front of the opening, depending on the available space.

MOTORISATION
MOTORISATION
Due to their heavy weight, roller garage doors are fitted with an operator as standard.
An internal push button and LED lighting are already integrated in the control unit.

INSULATION and ENERGY EFFICIENCY
NOTES ON INSULATION AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Compared to modern sectional garage doors, roller garage doors have low insulating properties.
For garages that are built directly next to the house, have a transition from the garage to the living area or are used for another purpose in addition to parking a car (garage as a workshop, storage room, living space, ...), sectional garage doors with high thermal and sound insulation are generally used.
Energy-saving LED lighting is integrated into the operator control unit.

SAFETY
FALL PROTECTION
Electrically operated roller garage doors offer more convenience, but also require additional safety devices. For example, the aluminium slat roller shutter curtain must be prevented from suddenly falling. For this purpose, our roller garage doors are equipped with fall protection.
If the supporting equipment fails and the rolling speed therefore exceeds a certain value, this safety device takes effect and stops the door movement automatically.

SLIDE-ON SAFETY DEVICE
The anti-opening device protects against unauthorised opening of the door. Electrically operated doors such as roller garage doors always offer a manual unlocking option so that the garage remains accessible even in the event of a power failure.
To prevent this option from being misused, the anti-opening device is included as standard.

CLOSING EDGE PROTECTION
If the door encounters the slightest resistance when closing, the optical closing edge safety device ensures that it stops immediately and opens again.
This prevents personal injury and damage to property from the outset.
The closing edge safety device is pre-assembled in the factory as standard and is equipped with an LED status indicator.
