Options for insulated roller shutter doors in Braintree
- Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
- Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.
- Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
- Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
- Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.
Typical scopes of work
- Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.
- Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.
- Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Braintree?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Planning the work around your site
