Options that matter on site
- Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
- Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
- Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
- Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.
- Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.
What this work can involve
- Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.
- Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.
- Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.
