BAU 2025: With the “SHELTERline”, BUCHELE Doors + Gates presents an innovative system for shelters

BUCHELE Doors + Gates presents “SHELTERline” - an innovative product range of doors, gates and window flaps for maximum security in shelters in the private sector, in civil defense facilities or for public authorities.

“SHELTERline” is the name of a new BUCHELE innovation for shelters, which is characterized by its high safety standard. “SHELTERline” doors protect against explosion pressure up to 800 kPa, have burglary protection up to RC5, withstand up to fire protection class EI290 and are also gas-tight and bullet-resistant up to FB7.

The new series is available in three types:

• Type D – Doors both single and double-leaf
• Type G – Gates in various types and sizes
• Type H – Window flaps

Safe when everything is uncertain

The doors of the “Type D” model variant protect against explosion pressure up to 800 kPa, have burglary protection up to RC5, withstand up to fire protection class EI290 and are also gas-tight and bullet-resistant up to FB7. These variants are used in particular in private shelters and can also be retrofitted in civilian areas. In combination with window flaps (“Type H”) and, for example, steel-reinforced interior walls for shelters, BUCHELE can offer a holistic concept if required.

All three types have the Emergency Close system, which can be effectively closed with a few simple steps and thus offers security within seconds. Once the danger situation has passed, the doors can be opened from the inside using the “Easy-Remove-System”. The hinges can be removed and the door can be pushed open outwards, even if it is blocked by debris, for example.

Doors for high clearance heights and tunnels

Type G is intended for larger shelter systems or bunker facilities of public authorities that have entrances and driveways with larger dimensions. The doors can be realized as single and double-leaf versions, but also in other variants. Sliding gates, for example, can be retrofitted in underground car parks or subway stations to create appropriate civil protection options. Lifting gates or XXL gates can also be manufactured in special shapes - by the way all “made in Germany”.

BUCHELE innovations presented at the BAU 2025 trade fair

In addition to the innovative SHELTERline, BUCHELE will also present the highlights and innovations of its complete range of special doors, property protection, sound and fire protection at the world's leading trade fair BAU in Hall B3, booth 303. The individual possibilities of the various special doors can be combined in multiple ways and are individually adapted and designed for the respective project. “We want to show which individual solutions we can provide that not only guarantee the highest security requirements, but can also have additional functions depending on the area of application,” says Managing Director Jürgen Buchele.
