Hello,
We bought our house as a turnkey property and are now dealing with a long list of issues. One of these concerns our garage door, and I hope someone here might be able to offer helpful advice.
The door is a Hörmann ALRF42 industrial door, flush-mounted with a wooden cladding. To achieve the flush surface, the door had to be installed within the reveal. Due to the cladding thickness of about 70mm (3 inches), a gap had to be planned above the door in the reveal to allow the door with cladding to tilt inward.
Now the problem: the area above the door is completely uninsulated and even lets light through, causing the garage to cool down significantly during winter. I had originally planned to use the garage as a workshop for my vintage cars, which is only partly possible given the cold and lack of sound insulation.
Question: How are flush-mounted door constructions correctly installed? Is it standard practice to leave this area unsealed and uninsulated? Does anyone have ideas on how to properly fix this issue?
To illustrate, I am attaching photos.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Now the problem: The area above the door is completely uninsulated and even transparent, which causes the garage to cool down entirely during the winter months. I had actually planned to use the garage as a workshop for my classic cars, which is only partially feasible given the cold and lack of sound insulation. As far as I know, Hörmann offers very detailed planning aids to ensure correct installation.
Who designed the door?
