Options for insulated roller shutter doors in Colchester

Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
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.
Controls. From a simple button station to loops and radar, the controls match how often the door opens.
Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Colchester?

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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Essex the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
