Doors for car dealerships
& showrooms
Your showroom displays premium vehicles , cars move through your workshop all day long, your bodyshop needs high-speed doors for movements between zones. Fermelux installs the right Hörmann doors for each use - ALR F42 Glazing for the shop front, SPU F42 for the workshop, V 5030 SEL for fast flows. From Luxembourg City to Esch-Belval, we equip car dealerships as well as independent workshops.
Built for your brand image
A car dealership runs three businesses in the same building: commercial shop front, mechanical workshop, bodyshop. Each zone has its own constraints - maximum transparency on the showroom side, robustness on the workshop side, speed on the bodyshop side. We equip each zone with the Hörmann door that fits, not with an average compromise.
Shop front with no visible hardware
The Hörmann ALR F42 Glazing door is built around a slim aluminium frame and 26 mm scratch-resistant Duratec panels. No drive hardware is visible from the shop front - the customer's eye sees the car, not the door. This is the standard of premium European showrooms (Tesla, Porsche, Mercedes AMG).
RC2 overnight security for showrooms
A showroom displaying a fleet of high-end vehicles at night is a target. The RC2 option certified to DIN/TS 18194, available on the SPU F42 (to be confirmed with Hörmann for ALR glazed doors), resists break-ins with simple tools for 3 minutes - more than enough to trigger your alarm and a patrol. Always recommended on showroom accesses.
Fast flows between zones
Your vehicles are constantly moving: showroom → workshop → bodyshop → customer delivery. The V 5030 SEL opens at 2.0 m/s on the inside - against 0.19 m/s for a standard sectional door. As a result, your technicians wait far less at each transit, a noticeable gain in a high-traffic workshop.
Thermal insulation for showroom and workshop
A showroom heated to 20 °C or a workshop tempered to 16 °C loses its heat through the door if it is poorly insulated. The ALR 67 Thermo Glazing (U = 1.8 W/m²K for the installed door with double climate glazing, 1.7 with ThermoFrame) sharply reduces heat loss compared to single glazing (ALR F42 Glazing with single real glass: U = 6.1). The investment pays back in 3 to 4 heating seasons.
Preventive maintenance without downtime
A workshop that stops means 15 to 30 customer appointments postponed. Fermelux offers preventive maintenance contracts scheduled outside your peak hours, with a breakdown service Monday to Friday (8am-12pm / 1pm-5pm) on +352 691 545 407 (fast call-out subject to availability; outside these hours, only under a specific maintenance contract) and original Hörmann parts. Less unplanned downtime.
Visual consistency across sites
An automotive group with 3 to 8 dealerships in Luxembourg needs a coherent visual identity. We deploy the same ALR Glazing range across all showrooms - same RAL, same glazing, same Duratec finish - with a single technical contact.
Sizing by the numbers
Field data collected on Luxembourg dealerships and workshops equipped by Fermelux - showrooms of 500 to 1,500 m², multi-brand workshops, independent bodyshops. Every figure feeds into the sizing of your project.
The Hörmann dealership trio
A typical car dealership combines three Hörmann door families - one per business: showroom front in ALR Glazing, mechanical workshop in SPU F42, bodyshop flow in V 5030 SEL. Each door is controlled independently but can report its state to your BMS or alarm system.
ALR F42 Glazing
(ALR F42 Glasaluminium)THE showroom front door: 42 mm aluminium frame with 26 mm scratch-resistant Duratec panels, fully glazed door leaf. RAL colours of your choice, anodised finishes.

Drives for workshop & showroom

WA 300 S4
Shaft-mounted drive for showrooms and small workshops. 230 V, 0.19 m/s, 10 cycles/h. Sufficient for shop fronts (ALR F42) and workshops with less than 100 cycles/day. Silent, reliable, economical.

Compliant with automotive standards
A dealership door is work equipment under the Machinery Directive: compliance is mandatory and inspected by the ITM (Inspection du Travail et des Mines) in Luxembourg. We deliver with a CE certificate and a maintenance log.
EN 13241 - Industrial doors
Product standard covering safety, performance and CE marking. Mandatory for any motorised industrial door placed on the European market, including in car dealerships.
EN 13241:2003+A2:2016EN 12453 - Safety in use
Defines closing forces, force limits and anti-crush devices. Checked at commissioning and during mandatory annual maintenance visits.
EN 12453:2017DIN/TS 18194 - Anti-burglary
RC2 to RC3 classification for burglar-resistant doors. Recommended on showroom accesses displaying high-end vehicles outside business hours.
DIN/TS 18194:2020EN 12428 - Thermal transmittance
Calculation method for the U-value of industrial doors. Reference for compliance with Luxembourg energy efficiency requirements for tertiary buildings.
EN 12428:2013EN 12424 - Wind resistance
Classes 0 to 5. For south-west-facing glazed showroom façades (Luxembourg City / Bertrange axis), the class depends on exposure (class 4 = 1,000 Pa); Hörmann ALR and SPU doors reach class 3, and class 4 up to 4 m wide.
EN 12424:2000Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
General regulatory framework for motorised doors as work equipment. Maintenance log and annual inspection mandatory.
2006/42/EC4 typical dealership configurations
These scenarios are based on real installations we have equipped in Luxembourg. Each configuration is adaptable - it is the starting point for your own sizing.
1,200 m² multi-brand premium showroom
Urban Luxembourg City dealership displaying 15 to 20 premium vehicles on the shop front . Requirement for maximum transparency on the street side, mandatory overnight security, visual coherence with the manufacturer's brand guidelines.
Multi-brand mechanical workshop
Workshop with 6 to 10 lifts, 80 to 150 vehicles/day for service and repair. Reception and exit doors. Customer flow constraints + robustness for intensive cycles.
