Options that matter on site

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices fitted as the risk assessment requires.
Controls. Buttons, key switches, remotes, induction loops or radar to suit your traffic.
Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.

Typical scopes of work

Converting a hand-chained insulated roller door to electric operation with a safety edge and photocells.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Barrow-in-Furness are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Barrow-in-Furness vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Barrow-in-Furness

Will an insulated roller door cut heating bills at our Barrow-in-Furness premises?

It loses much less heat than a single-skin shutter, especially with good seals and quick electric operation. How much you save depends on your building, heating system and how long the door stays open.

Is there enough headroom for an insulated roller door at our Barrow-in-Furness unit?

The coil on an insulated curtain is larger than on a single-skin shutter, so we measure the space above the lintel on survey. Where headroom is very tight, the coil can sometimes be fitted outside the opening or a lower-profile option chosen.

Does a powered insulated roller door in Barrow-in-Furness need safety devices?

If the door closes automatically or can trap someone, yes. The risk assessment decides what is needed, typically a safety edge, photocells and closing forces tested to BS EN 12453, plus anti-fall protection on heavier curtains.
