Insulated roller shutter doors in Stornoway

At a glance

Tight headroom, cluttered ceiling, still need a warm door? For units in Stornoway (HS1), we can install insulated roller doors that coil neatly above the opening and leave the roof space completely clear.

Town: Stornoway
Postcode district: HS1
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.
Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.
Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
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.

What this work can involve

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.
Fitting a compact insulated service door to a plant room to reduce the noise reaching neighbouring offices.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Stornoway?

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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Stornoway

Can you replace our old roller shutter in Stornoway 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.

Does a powered insulated roller door in Stornoway 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 Stornoway 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.
