Options that matter on site

Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.
Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.

Frequently asked questions

Is there enough headroom for an insulated roller door at our Consett 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.

Will an insulated roller door cut heating bills at our Consett 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.
