It was truly coming home to the 'White House' at BAU 2023

From April 17 to 22, 2023, the leading BAU trade fair took place again in Munich. The White House of Woelm GmbH enjoyed great interest. The news in the field of sliding door and door hardware that the Heiligenhaus-based company displayed at the booth was appreciated by the public. Woelm showed all applications live in a house built especially for the occasion. This meant that everything could be tried out for yourself, in order to be convinced that functionality, quality and aesthetics go hand in hand at Woelm. In this article we look back at what was presented.

Interior door application highlights

At the fair, visitors were able to learn about the unsurpassed HELM MK and GT series of interior sliding door systems. The HELM MK-L 80 system is ideal for light to medium-weight interior sliding doors. It can accommodate sashes made of glass or wood weighing up to 80 kg. Those wishing to fit heavier doors can choose the HELM MK-M 140 system. Sash weights of up to 140 kg can be used. The characteristic feature is and remains the smooth sliding action under all conditions. Did you know that HELM MK interior sliding doors have been tested according to the DIN EN 1527 standard, in an endurance test with 200,000 cycles?

Anyone looking for an effective seal against noise, smoke, drafts and odors will naturally end up with the HELM MK closing door. Thanks to an ingenious magnetic seal, the wooden sliding doors with this system close hermetically against the wall. This special system also prevents the door from rattling when there are draughts from the adjacent room.

Also very interesting is the HELM space-saving door. This barrier-free door provides easy access to a room without taking up much space during opening or closing. This is ideal for places where that swing space is not available, even more ideal for people who are wheelchair-bound or walk with a walker. This is because the door articulates at one-third the width and can be operated from the wheelchair or from behind the walker. These doors help people regain their independence.

Also strong in outdoor applications

Woelm is known for innovative solutions in light and vision protection for outdoor applications. A good example: the HELM sliding shutters, which provide a resistant and attractive seal. The sliding shutters can be supplied both in a manually operated version and in an electric version. In the latter case, there are options for automation. In fact, HELM products can be connected to any home automation system with universal controls. HELM sliding shutters, HELM entrance gates and also the motorized indoor sliding door HELMatic can be integrated in this way as a Smart Home solution.

Automation is a high priority at Woelm anyway. For example, there is the SmartTouch system from KWS. This is a smart door handle with a built-in sensor that flawlessly detects whether the person who wants to enter may be granted access. With the appropriate transponder in his or her pocket, the user only needs to touch the door handle and the door is unlocked. Additional ease of operation can be obtained via an app on the smartphone. This allows the owner to remotely unlock the door. With the Homelink Ready concept, Woelm has paved the way for making all appropriate components connected, which can then be operated and controlled via smartphone or tablet. Welcome to the world of tomorrow!

In the grip of the most beautiful door handles!

The eye also wants something, especially when you consider how often you hold a door handle in a day. The KWS handles for front doors and interior sliding doors can be fully color-coordinated with the door and door hardware in question, for a harmonious overall look. Of course, all in the quality you have come to expect from Woelm!

In short: Woelm GmbH and visitors to the booth look back on a very successful BAU 2023 in Munich.
