Hörmann steel doors for shipping containers
Hörmann H8-5 Steel Doors are special fire doors designed to provide top-level security and functional performance in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. These doors are renowned for their exceptional fire resistance (T30 fire rating), thermal insulation, sound insulation, and robust construction. They are specifically designed for high-risk environments such as boiler rooms and storage areas for oil tanks. Hörmann H8-5 doors are the best-selling doors for boiler rooms in Europe, reflecting Hörmann’s expertise in fire protection and engineering excellence.
The steel entrance doors we offer for shipping containers are available in a standard size of 1000 x 2000 mm – clear passage 979 mm. Alternatively, we offer a variant for an additional fee in the size of 1100 x 2000 mm – clear passage 1079 mm. The doors are set into a steel frame, which is always custom-made according to the container’s location and type! The doors can be opened from the left or right.
The doors are in RAL 9002 color. If the container is in a different RAL shade, we will repaint these doors to another shade for an additional fee of 100 EUR excluding VAT.
Functions and Specifications
1. Fire Protection (T30 fire door certification)
The Hörmann H8-5 doors are certified as T30 according to DIN EN 1634, meaning that the doors withstand fire for at least 30 minutes. This key feature provides time to manage the fire risk or to safely evacuate. Fire protection is further reinforced by:
- Double 45 mm thick door leaf with a galvanized steel surface of 0.9 mm thickness.
- Fire-resistant mineral wool filling, which is completely hidden for a clean and smooth appearance.
- Steel profile frame with 2 mm thickness and continuous sealing that prevents the spread of flames and smoke.
These components make the H8-5 door a reliable choice for applications where fire containment is a priority, such as in boiler rooms and oil storage areas.
2. Thermal Insulation
The Hörmann H8-5 doors offer thermal insulation with a U value of 1.7 W/(m²·K), ensuring effective heat retention and reduced energy costs. The thermal bridge in the door leaf and frame minimizes heat transfer, making it an ideal solution for spaces that require temperature control, such as heated rooms adjacent to cooler zones.
3. Sound Insulation
With an Rw value of 39 dB , the H8-5 doors effectively reduce noise transmission. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where sound insulation is important, such as:
- Boiler rooms adjacent to residential areas.
- Areas with noisy machinery or equipment.
The dense core of mineral wool and precisely designed seals of the H8-5 doors ensure optimal noise reduction.
4. Durable Construction
The Hörmann H8-5 doors are designed for long-lasting durability and stability:
- Made from 0.9 mm thick galvanized steel, which resists deformation and wear.
- Double 45 mm thick construction increases rigidity and impact resistance.
- Reinforced with flat steel for increased strength and stability.
This robust design makes the H8-5 doors suitable for intensive use and demanding applications.
5. Optional Smoke Tightness
The H8-5 doors can optionally be equipped with smoke-tight seals (S200 classification), enhancing their effectiveness in preventing smoke leakage during a fire. When combined with a top closer and threshold, the doors provide better smoke protection.
6. Security Features
Although primarily fire doors, the Hörmann H8-5 doors offer basic security features:
- Steel security bolts for resistance to break-ins.
- Locking system compatible with cylinder inserts and key locks.
These features provide additional protection against unauthorized access.
