Insulated roller shutter doors in Herne Bay

Options that matter on site

Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.
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.
Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.

Examples of work we can quote for

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

Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.

Powered door rules that apply in Herne Bay

Herne Bay 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

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.

Insulated roller shutter doors in Herne Bay: your questions

Does a powered insulated roller door in Herne Bay 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 Herne Bay 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.

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