Options that matter on site
- Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
- Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
- Controls. From a simple button station to loops and radar, the controls match how often the door opens.
- 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.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.
- Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.
- Converting a hand-chained insulated roller door to electric operation with a safety edge and photocells.
Powered door rules that apply in Peterlee
Peterlee 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
