OPENING THE DOOR TO

OPTIMAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Nassau Door was founded in Denmark in 1970 and grew quickly to become a leading player in the design and manufacture of sectional doors for industrial applications. Today the company is a member of Nielsen & Nielsen Holding, which is an international group specialising in products ranging from satellite components to beverage dispensing equipment, as well as sectional overhead doors for industry. Currently the group generates sales of more than DKK 2.3 billion, of which 85 per cent is for export markets.

As part of the Nielsen & Nielsen Group, Nassau is strongly represented throughout the EU and the Middle East via its own dedicated network of local distributors.

Innovation has always been a priority at Nassau and the company has developed a range of highly flexible doors which enable it to supply tailor-made solutions that meet an infinite variety of operational criteria.

Nassau prides itself on being able to meet any challenge when it comes to producing the best outcomes for its customers, and the success of its innovative solutions continues to drive sales worldwide.

Setting new standards in energy efficiency

The search for greater energy efficiency is a goal that every company has set itself and Nassau is no exception. The company’s commitment to research in this area has resulted in a remarkable new energy-efficient product, aptly named ‘Nassau Energy’. Last year Nassau launched its new generation of energyefficient sectional doors that combine optimum insulation with high light in-flow and an innovative design that offers energy to U-value of just 1.62, depending on the size of the door. These new doors offer fresh opportunities to architects and planners to create aesthetically pleasing structures that comply with the most stringent international energy requirements.

Nassau’s energy efficient, patented window structure makes it possible to achieve very low U-values without compromising on functionality and design. This recent product from Nassau also helps companies to save money, protect the environment and ensure a comfortable and bright working environment for employees.

The new ‘energy-efficient’ door consists of patented section type 90E, which is built as an aluminium frame with triple-pane window structures in one section, with all window exteriors and interiors being scratch resistant. The window panes are fitted on the outside of the section frame and the strong aluminium structure ensures that all sections are completely level, which in turn significantly reduces the transmission of cold air through the door.

CEO Kurt Skov said, “In most industries today, there is a strong focus on sustainability and insulation capacity. However, it can often be difficult to achieve a low U-value whilst ensuring a sound working environment with a good inflow of light. With Nassau Energy we have created a solution that meets all these requirements and in one exclusive design.”

Diverse functionality

Nassau overhead sectional doors don’t just look good, they also offer high-quality construction and a reliable functionality that meets every criterim. From its highly insulated sectional model for intensive use (Nassau 9000F), to its elegantly designed overhead door with exceptional light properties (Nassau 9000G), there is a solution to match every industrial requirement.

The Nassau 9000F model offers high durability and economy and a service-free door with a very long lifespan. This design is available with a pass door and in widths of up to 10 metres. It is also available in a rustproof version, which is ideal for environments that require high standards of hygiene and ease of cleaning.

At the other end of the scale, Nassau’s elegant 9000G model is specially designed for buildings that require a lot of natural light and where it must also be possible to see in. Therefore this model is ideal for showrooms and large product display areas. Section height can vary from 400mm to 675mm making it possible to suit the door’s styling to that of a building’s faade. The Nassau 9000G also comes with a wide range of fillings and in all finishes within the extensive RAL colour collection.

NASSAU 9000M is a door where you combine the foamed 90F sections with the window sections of your choice. You can thereby create the door exactly after your prefences.

NASSAU also supplies a 9000 Panorama door which is a window door with narrow window sections without vertical frames. This makes the door appear very light, and it is perfect for showrooms, car washes etc. n
