Functionality of sectional doors
The sectional door principle
The sectional door principle
The principle behind it is as ingenious as it is simple: the sectional garage door consists of individual elements, known as sections, which are connected to each other by hinges. This makes it easy to slide vertically under the ceiling without the need for additional pivoting space in front of the garage.

More space in front of the garage
More space in front of the garage
As the sectional garage door - unlike the up-and-over door - does not swing out, you can use every last centimetre of the space in front of the garage, for example for parking a second car. Even the flow of traffic is not impaired in any way if the garage is close to a road or footpath.

Open for every vehicle
Open for every vehicle
As the sections are pushed under the ceiling to save space, there is also more room in the garage - ideal for tall vehicles such as off-road vehicles or vans.

Full clearance height and width
Full clearance width and height
With a sectional door with an electric operator, you always have the full clearance height at your disposal. When replacing an up-and-over door with a sectional door, the passage is even wider, as the sectional garage door is not installed in the opening, but behind it. Novoferm sectional doors are also the ideal solution for renovations, as the full passage width is also available with a narrow stop width of just 80 mm per side.

Insulation and energy efficiency
DOUBLE-WALLED AND INSULATED
Our steel sections are manufactured exclusively in double-walled sandwich construction and filled with a heat-insulating PUR rigid foam core. In contrast to single-walled doors, this ensures better sound and heat insulation as well as particularly quiet door operation.
Novoferm sectional garage doors provide high to maximum thermal insulation thanks to a 20, 45 or 67 mm thick PUR rigid foam core. The 45 mm thick PUR rigid foam of the iso 45 sectional garage door, for example, already provides a very high level of thermal and sound insulation. The flexible lip seals between the individual sections of the door are soft to the touch even at low temperatures, preventing heat loss and the ingress of dust.
Only the Premium Plus sectional garage door offers even more effective heat and sound insulation:
With an overall section thickness of 70 mm, patented sections and additional seals between the sections, it offers insulation in a class of its own. There are also window variants with triple glazing, which ensure maximum light transmission in addition to high thermal insulation.

Thermo Zargenset
The optional sealing and insulating moulding system improves the already excellent performance characteristics of the double-walled Novoferm E® sectional garage doors. Up to 15 %* better thermal insulation thanks to 3-sided thermal optimisation of the frame when installed behind the opening. Quick and easy installation thanks to plug and clip profile, can be used with all Novoferm E® sectional garage doors. The Thermo frame set actively supports the optimisation of the building's performance balance. * This performance value depends on the door motif and door size.

OPTIMUM AIR CIRCULATION IN THE GARAGE THANKS TO ADJUSTABLE VENTILATION POSITION
The door is opened approx. 10 cm to ventilate the garage. The door can be brought into the ventilation position from any position by pressing the second button on the hand-held transmitter or via an app. After 60 minutes, it closes either automatically or in advance by pressing the transmitter.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT GARAGE DOOR OPENERS
All our garage door openers and additional equipment (e.g. light strips) are equipped with modern, energy-saving LED lighting, which ensures exceptional brightness, economy and energy efficiency. Another energy advantage of many of our operators is the low energy consumption of just 0.5 watts in stand-by mode.

WE SET STANDARDS
Anything that is outside in wind and weather and has to function smoothly day after day needs a particularly well thought-out design. All Novoferm steel sectional garage doors are double-wall insulated and named after their insulation thickness: From the attractively priced iso 20 sectional garage door, the exclusive iso 45 model with the widest range of features, to the Premium Plus iso 70, the door with the highest thermal insulation value and most comfortable operation. The individual door sections are made of galvanised sheet metal and finished with a resistant polyester-based paint. Angle frames, guide rails and all fittings on the door are also galvanised.
This ensures lasting durability and gives you long-lasting pleasure - 10 years with guarantee!

1. double-walled and insulated
Our steel sections are manufactured in a double-walled sandwich construction with a thermally insulating PUR rigid foam core. This gives them better sound and heat insulation than single-walled doors and very quiet door operation. The flexible lip seals between the sections are soft to the touch even at low temperatures and prevent heat loss and the ingress of dust.
2. frost-proof ground seal
A rubber profile on the bottom edge of the door protects against water and dirt, compensates for minor unevenness in the ground and prevents damage and injury. The seal is made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber), an elastic, weather-resistant and durable material.
3. lip seals on the frame
Extra wide for even greater thermal insulation and dirt repellence.
4. adaptable frame foot
Our garage doors have a weather-resistant frame foot made of galvanised steel. This allows water and waterlogging to run off without causing rust on the frame. The stepped design makes it easier to replace up-and-over doors with bottom tracks with sectional doors.
5. the Novoferm quality seal
All Novoferm sectional garage doors bear the Novoferm quality seal: a guarantee for the best materials and first-class workmanship!
6. thermo frame set
The thermo frame set optimises the performance balance of the building, it fits all Novoferm E® sectional garage doors and improves their already excellent properties. When installed behind the opening, the 3-sided insulated frame improves thermal insulation by up to 15 %*. Thanks to the plug-in and clip profile, it is quick and easy to install.
* This performance value depends on the door motif and door size.

SECURITY AND BURGLAR RESISTANCE
RC 2-TESTED SAFETY
Burglary protection is playing an increasingly important role for garage doors. In addition to their function as a secure parking area for your car, garages are also used as storage space, for hobbies or leisure activities. Valuables are stored here that could be targeted by thieves.
It is therefore worth investing in burglar-resistant garage doors and entrances, especially if there is a direct connection from the garage to the house.
Once burglars are in the garage, they can try to break into the living area unobserved.
Mechanical security systems in particular ward off burglary attempts at the garage door:
Well over a third of all break-ins get stuck at the attempt stage because gates, doors or windows cannot be overcome quickly enough.
If you want to protect your garage with an appropriate door, you are on the safe side with burglar-resistant sectional garage doors with 45 and 67 mm insulation(resistance class RC 2) from Novoferm.

FINGER PINCH PROTECTION INSIDE AND OUTSIDE
Your safety is important to us! It is impossible to reach in, get trapped or injured at almost any point on the sectional door. This is ensured by the finger trap protection on the inside and outside between each section. The special design of the sections and hinges eliminates pinch points on the door leaf and on the inside from the outset. With Novoferm, there are no pinch points on the inside either.

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY
Our sectional garage doors are available with either a vertical tension spring system or with torsion spring shafts. The tension spring doors are equipped with multiple safety tension spring assemblies with double steel cables. Our high-quality premium sectional doors iso 45 and iso 70 are still available with maintenance-free torsion spring shafts.

ELECTRONIC ANTI-LIFT DEVICE AND SELF-LOCKING GEARBOX
The Novoferm garage door operator, which opens the door for you at the touch of a button, also keeps it closed to prevent unauthorised access. This is because the electronic hold-open device and the operator's self-locking gear ensure optimum burglar resistance - even in the event of a power failure.
