Boat halls, Finland

W&W Marine Oy Ab – Boat Storage Facilities in Sipoo, Finland.

W&W Marine Oy Ab is a full-service boat dealership founded in 1996, located in Sipoo, Finland, just about a 20-minute drive from Helsinki. The company offers a wide selection of boats, outboard motors, and accessories, as well as maintenance and winter storage services. W&W Marine is also an authorized service center for several well-known engine brands.

Construction company ST Sundman Oy Ab built three large boat halls for W&W Marine, equipped with Helaform sliding track systems. The halls, with a height of approximately 7 meters and a width of 50–70 meters, provide secure and functional facilities for boat storage.

To ensure the efficient transfer of boats in and out of the halls, large sliding doors with double-track systems were installed. This allows the doors to overlap each other, opening up nearly the entire front of the halls and making the handling of large boats much easier. The halls feature a total of nearly 40 sliding doors, each about 6 meters high and 4 meters wide, weighing over 400 kilograms.

For the sliding doors, Helaform’s Series 500 hot-dip galvanized steel sliding track systems were chosen, mounted directly onto the hall structures using double-wall brackets. If the halls had been built for more demanding conditions, such as the salty air of a seaside location, the system could have been equipped with alternative AISI 316L acid-proof components to ensure better corrosion resistance.

Despite their large size, the doors move lightly and effortlessly thanks to Helaform’s high-quality sliding tracks.
