There is only one chance to make a good first impression and this is precisely the reason Bauporte designs, manufactures, installs and maintains impressive entrances for its customers.

Bauporte was founded in 1992 and in 1999 it took over Grothkarst, a German company that had been developing and constructing high-quality doors since 1908. Karel E. Bouman, the current Owner and Director, with a wealth of experience in the door and entrance industry, correctly identified a gap in the market for a supplier of custom-made rather than mass-produced doors and Bauporte was born.

Bauporte History NOTHINg IS MORE ELEgANT THAN AN ATTRACTIVE ENTRANCE

Enhance your grandeur with BauporteIncreasingly sophisticated end-users demanded higher standards of quality and innovation for their buildings including seeking unique, customised aesthetic and functional solutions for their entrances.Bauporte understood and relished this challenge and, within a very short time of its inception, was delivering outstanding service and products to Belgium, Canada, China, germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA.

Expertise and innovation The company continues to expand its activities while continuously investing in expertise and innovation;providing astonishing new designs, including extremely tall, full-glass revolving doors and bespoke automatic sliding and swing doors with in-ground drive units.

International management and expertise has been further strengthened by the arrival of David Bunkall in the UK. David has been working in the global door manufacturing industry for 20 years and has now chosen to become associated with the durable, high-quality products that Bauporte offers its customers.

Bauporte now occupies a unique position in the global entrance market and no matter the type of entrance; Bauporte has the solution, or will develop one to suit. Bauporte’s passion and perseverance enables it to rise above the competition and to overcome even the most obstinate entrance problems. Bauporte may be a relatively small company, but it certainly set the standards that others try to follow.

A Respected ReputationIn Bauporte terms, entrance doors are not just “doors”; we mean splendidly designed entrances, constructed to the highest specifications and produced from ultra-modern materials. Companies throughout the world are overwhelmingly satisfied with Bauporte products and service - and we are confident that you will feel the same.

...they express the difference that Bauporte brings to a global market that typically offers “more of the same”. This difference begins with employees. Their belief in their own abilities is crucial in this respect, together with the iron will to work hard for a collective purpose: To build the greatest possible customer satisfaction into the design and function of an entrance door.

The difference is also evident in Bauporte’s customers; we work with discerning clients who actively seek out high-quality, custom-made entrances. Our customers are enterprising individuals or organisations, looking to distinguish themselves from the crowd by creating something special and who are not willing to accept second best. Where there’s a will, there’s a way; Bauporte is based on this principle.

Creating designs, setting goals, rolling up our sleeves and displaying determination, all these qualities are central to the beliefs of our customers, employees and organisation. This is our collective binding factor; essentially our whole philosophy is embodied in these three small words.

Three little, well-known words:“Yes we can”...

Strength and beauty Stainless steel is used for the internal framework of Bauporte doors, guaranteeing the maximum design life. This framework can be clad and finished to the customer’s requirements with stainless steel, aluminium, brass or even copper. glass also plays an important role in completing the construction but can also be used to enhance the appearance with effects such as one-piece glass roofs, coloured interlayers, fritting, and integrated colour-changing LED lighting strips.

Remote diagnostics An optional remote diagnostic service is available on all Bauporte automatic doors; helping save money on repairs and maintenance and minimising any down-time should a problem occur. With this option, the doors are linked via a modem and telephone line, allowing Bauporte to remotely diagnose or adjust the door operation if necessary. Quality of our service At Bauporte we recognise the importance of customer service. Our highly experienced in-house design team aim to provide advice and high-quality solutions to all entrance requirements. Everything is done internally; from design and manufacture to installation and maintenance, ensuring the same high quality of service from start to finish. Our highly trained maintenance teams respond quickly and efficiently to any problems and are ready to serve our customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our Strengths - WHY CHOOSE BAUPORTE?Bespoke entrances and doors Bauporte employees have unrivalled experience in the production and installation of bespoke doors and entrance systems. Always looking to innovate and push the boundaries of door design, Bauporte has brought many new products and processes to the market, including the first full-glass revolving door and the tallest revolving door in the world.

Automatic pivot doors, ideal for windy conditionsConfigurations: • Single door wing• Double door wing• Multiple door wing

Heavy duty drive units are available and door leaves are framed with stainless steel, aluminium or custom metal or, alternatively, full-glass construction. Fire- and smoke-resistant and reinforced versions are all available.

The balance door principle is ideally suited to wide entrances where severe or uneven wind loadings are experienced.

Elegance Automatic Balance DoorsElegance Automatic Balance Doors, also known as pivot doors, provide simple convenient access, with drive units mounted on the header, in-ground or even on the ceiling of a basement below the door.

Unique multi-functional entrance system adapts to weather conditions This multi-functional type of entrance consists of 180° degree, manual or automatic swing doors, with overhead heaters, which can be moved to the side and stacked out of the way. The door leaves can be stowed manually or automatically. The advantage of this folding / sliding entrance under various weather conditions:

• In poor weather conditions, the swing doors are used for entry/exit. Linking the heaters and the self-closing doors, minimise draughts while allowing free passage. • In average weather conditions, the door leaves can be opened and locked in the 90° position (either manually or electro-mechanically). Free passage from inside to outside the building, and vice versa is possible. Use of the entrance heaters is optional. • In good weather conditions the door leaves are opened and stacked to the sides to create a completely open entrance with unrestricted access. Use of the entrance heaters is optional.
