What to specify

Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices fitted as the risk assessment requires.
Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.
Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.

Insulated roller shutter doors in Risca: your questions

Does a powered insulated roller door in Risca 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.

Is there enough headroom for an insulated roller door at our Risca 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.

Yes. We repair damaged laths, motors, guides and seals on most makes of insulated roller door across Gwent. Repair visits are chargeable, and planned servicing helps catch wear before a breakdown.
