Floating Door System Applications

There are many factors that make Norco the #1 hangar door manufacturer for the aviation industry in the United States. Take some time to look through our project portfolio and see where our finished projects can be found. Over half a century’s worth of experience in manufacturing industrial hangar doors, while also providing high standards of service and quality (ISO 9001:2015 certified), has allowed Norco’s business to reach not only national but international markets as well. Our portfolio would suggest that the ability to customize projects is a key factor that separates us from the competition. Norco offers multiple door systems, but regardless of what system best fits your facility, Norco is still able to customize your project to meet whatever needs your space has.

Floating Hangar Door Summary

One of our favorite hangar door systems is the floating door system. Above all, this system provides building flexibility to whatever facility it is being utilized by. These floating aviation hangar doors do not require door pockets that take up extra space. Panels are able to be individually operated, which creates a variety of custom openings that a facility is able to utilize. Of course, each panel is built for weather conditions in areas with high wind gusts. Flexibility, customization, individualized control options, and, of course, durability, are all made possible through Norco’s floating hangar doors.

Our previous projects indicate that the aviation industry, particularly the Army and Navy support hangars, has found efficient and practical usage from our floating hangar door system. We’ve listed 4 aviation facilities where we’ve implemented these unique aviation hangar doors. The 4 facilities all benefit from the flexible, durable, customary, and individualized floating door panel system that assists their efforts and utilization of their hangar spaces. Below is a summary of each.

Atlantic Aviation in Kansas City, Missouri
This large 250,000 ft. Fixed Base Operation (FBO) facility uses a 6-leaf floating hangar door system to create large and small openings in their aviation hangar doors for the various aircraft it houses.

Army Aviation Support Facility in New Castle, Delaware
Large military aircraft, along with various other equipment, are stored in this support facility. Not only is the floating hangar door system utilized, but other systems, such as the bi-parting hangar door system, actively speak to the customizable solution this Norco hangar door provides to this Delaware facility.

Landmark Aviation in San Diego, California
Not only did Norco provide a customized solution for this 12.4-acre FBO facility, but our aviation hangar doors also met the standards for it to establish its LEED platinum certification. Norco knows what clients need when it comes to projects. They meet those through flexibility and customization, the leading benefits of a floating hangar door system.

Hawker Beechcraft in Indianapolis, Indiana
This 40,000-square-foot maintenance hangar in Indianapolis offers the various openings needed for the different-sized aircraft the facility houses. These floating hangar doors require no door pockets and are energy-efficient for the facility.

Our floating hangar door system is a favorite for flexibility and customization. Our team will continue providing content regarding door system applications to help you decide what aviation hangar doors are best for your next project!
