What to specify
- Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.
- Controls. Buttons, key switches, remotes, induction loops or radar to suit your traffic.
- Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
- Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
- Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
What this work can involve
- Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.
- Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.
- Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.
Powered door rules that apply in Stockport
Stockport 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Stockport 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.

Questions from businesses in Stockport
Can you replace our old roller shutter in Stockport 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.
Is there enough headroom for an insulated roller door at our Stockport 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.
Will an insulated roller door cut heating bills at our Stockport premises?
It loses much less heat than a single-skin shutter, especially with good seals and quick electric operation. How much you save depends on your building, heating system and how long the door stays open.
