Insulated roller shutter doors in Lerwick

In short

Replacing a draughty roller shutter in Lerwick? We remove the old door, fit an insulated curtain with new guides, seals and motor, and hand over a tested, commissioned door with all of its paperwork.

Town: Lerwick
Postcode district: ZE1
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

Options that matter on site

Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
Controls. Buttons, key switches, remotes, induction loops or radar to suit your traffic.
Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.
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 Lerwick?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about insulated roller shutter doors

How long does insulated roller door installation take in Lerwick?

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.

Does a powered insulated roller door in Lerwick 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.

Will an insulated roller door cut heating bills at our Lerwick 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.
