What to specify

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.
Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
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.

What this work can involve

Installing an insulated roller door with induction loop activation on a busy internal forklift route.
Converting a hand-chained insulated roller door to electric operation with a safety edge and photocells.
Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.

Powered door rules that apply in London

London 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

Most installations in London can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about insulated roller shutter doors

How long does insulated roller door installation take in London?

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.

Is there enough headroom for an insulated roller door at our London unit?

The coil on an insulated curtain is larger than on a single-skin shutter, so we measure the space above the lintel on survey. Where headroom is very tight, the coil can sometimes be fitted outside the opening or a lower-profile option chosen.

Does a powered insulated roller door in London 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.
