Hörmann
vs
Teckentrup
Two German family-owned manufacturers, two quite different positions. Hörmann offers a very wide residential range, Teckentrup is a recognised specialist in industrial doors, multi-purpose doors and fire doors, and also offers CarTeck garage doors. This comparison analyses the real strengths of each - without commercial bias.
Hörmann
European door leader, residential & industrial
Teckentrup
Specialist in fire-rated & industrial doors
Both brands in numbers
Hörmann and Teckentrup are both German family-owned groups founded in the 1930s, but their positions differ. Hörmann covers the whole chain (residential, industrial, fire protection, pedestrian doors) with a very extensive residential offer. Teckentrup is traditionally a specialist in fire-rated and industrial doors, and also offers sectional, up-and-over and side-hinged garage doors under the CarTeck brand.

Which by project?
Depending on your priority, the recommendation changes. Here are the 6 most frequent situations where the Hörmann / Teckentrup duel arises in Luxembourg.
You are looking for a residential garage door with a wide choice of finishes, a good U-value and a long warranty. In this segment Hörmann offers the widest choice of surfaces and the LPU 67 Thermo (panel U-value 0.31 W/m²K).
You equip a building with EI30/EI60 fire-rated doors between parking and stairwell, plus a collective garage door. Teckentrup excels at fire-rated, but Hörmann also offers a complete T30/T60 range.
You want to control the door from Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa, with status feedback. Hörmann makes this possible with bidirectional BiSecur radio and the optional WLAN Gateway or homee.
You need a burglar-resistant pedestrian door RC2/RC3 with possible fire-rated function. Teckentrup remains the German reference on this specialised niche.
You are buying for 20 or 25 years and want lasting aftersales support. Both brands give a 10-year warranty on their garage doors; Hörmann's installer network in Luxembourg, including Fermelux, makes residential follow-up easier.
Co-ownership or small office building looking for a coherent package garage door + burglar-resistant pedestrian doors. Teckentrup can provide a complete technical lot.
Our recommendation:
Hörmann for residential
Out of 8 criteria, Hörmann wins 3, Teckentrup 1 and 4 are a tie - including price, on request for both, and the warranty, 10 years on doors with both manufacturers. In residential, Hörmann offers a wider choice of surfaces and a better-insulated panel (LPU 67 Thermo: 0.31 vs 0.56 W/m²K for the GSW 40-L). It is our default choice for a detached house or a villa.
Teckentrup is particularly relevant for fire doors and burglar-resistant multi-purpose doors. For a commercial project with fire safety requirements, their expertise is recognised and justified. For a standard residential garage door, Hörmann remains our preference.
