hinged slats
Explanation:
The description sounds like a rolling door consisting of horizontal slats with a profiled base slat.

"Thermiser insulated doors provide all the benefits of rolling service doors with the added benefit of foamed in place urethane insulation, which keeps interiors warm in winter and cool in summer. The 7/8" thick urethane insulation within each slat fills all voids and cures in to a firm bond between the interior and exterior skins, forming a strong integrated door slat."

The Abschlussprofil is a \'footpiece\'.

hinged
