What to specify

Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
