Tall Order for Hörmann Rolling Shutter Doors

The facility, based at Sallow Road, Corby is part of Sanderson’s warehouse and distribution operations and is one of company’s BRCGS (Food & Consumer Goods Storage) certified sites. The building had previously been used to build yachts and features high entrance doors which had allowed access for tall vessels.

Hörmann have provided a total of seven Decotherm DD roller shutter doors as part of the renovation works to the building, with two being 7m in height. Finished in RAL 7016 Anthracite grey, the doors feature an insulated lath to help improve overall thermal efficiency of the building. As Decotherm doors are fitted on the back face of the opening rather than the ‘between fit’ of the old doors, the Industrial Project team at Hörmann worked closely with Sanderson to design and fit a new steel track frame arrangement. Fourteen Hörmann D65 steel fire exit doors in Anthracite grey were also supplied as part of the refit.

Commenting on the project, Ed Sanderson Commercial Director of Stephen Sanderson Transport commented, ‘The update of the Sallow Road site is part of the on-going development of our operations based in Corby. The choice of Hörmann industrial doors was primarily about their ability to meet the specific requirements of the building particularly the extremely high openings, together with the integrity and quality of the product. Obviously, it goes without saying that our long-term relationship with Hörmann make them the company of choice when selecting doors for any new build or refurbishment work. The recent acquisition of the adjoining site means that the development of the Sanderson operation in Corby is set to continue into the future.’
