What to specify

Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.
Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.
Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.
Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Controls. Buttons, key switches, remotes, induction loops or radar to suit your traffic.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.
Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.
Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Atherton are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
