What to specify
- Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
- Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
- Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.
- Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
- Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
- Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
- Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Powered door rules that apply in Lowestoft
Lowestoft 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Lowestoft can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
