Options that matter on site
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Powered door rules that apply in Leicester
Leicester is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
