Objective
A simple, safe, reliable and sustainable sandwich-panel overhead door system, which is inexpensive and maintenance-free, is highly desirable for both the industrial and the public segment (garage doors). Existing sandwich-panel overhead door systems which are based on old fashioned hinges constructions, have the following disadvantages: expensive, high maintenance costs, short life time and unsafe in use. The objectives of this project are: 1) the development of a hinges-free light-weight consruction of sandwich-panel overhead doors (excellent constructional linkage, reduced friction, etc.), 2) cost-efficient (35% price reduction), 3) improved thermal and audio isolation, and 4) maintenance-free modular system (easy assembly/replacement). The Overhead door system to be developed will be conform (future) safety standards and constructed from 100% environmentally-acceptable materials (Car C-See PUR-foam). The European market of sandwich-panel overhead doors is about 1.8 rni on m2, of which au market share of 10 - 20 % seems feasible. This corresponds with a turnover of 45 MECU to 9.0 MECU/year. The objective of the project is to optimize the technology of the hinges construction and the production method hereof as the basis for a completely new garage door concept.
