What we fit in Edinburgh

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.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices fitted as the risk assessment requires.
Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.
Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.

What this work can involve

Fitting a compact insulated service door to a plant room to reduce the noise reaching neighbouring offices.
Installing an insulated roller door with induction loop activation on a busy internal forklift route.
Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.

Powered door rules that apply in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is in Scotland, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Questions from businesses in Edinburgh

Does a powered insulated roller door in Edinburgh 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.

How long does insulated roller door installation take in Edinburgh?

Most single doors are fitted and commissioned in a day once the made-to-measure door has arrived. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote so you can plan around it.

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