What to specify
- Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
- Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.
- Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices fitted as the risk assessment requires.
- Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Glasgow?
In Scotland, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Glasgow vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace our old roller shutter in Glasgow with an insulated one?
Yes. We recommend a complete new door rather than a new curtain on old parts, and include strip-out and disposal in the quote so the old shutter goes when the new one is fitted.
Does a powered insulated roller door in Glasgow 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 Glasgow?
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.
