Butzbach's sliding hangar door uses freely movable door leaves where each door element can be moved individually along the bottom rails, so the hangar opens exactly where access is required. Leaves are panelled in Butzbach's self-produced translucent fibreglass for daylight, thermal insulation and longevity. The system is engineered per hangar and forms the core of Butzbach's 650+ installed hangar door base.
