What to specify

Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.
Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
Controls. Buttons, key switches, remotes, induction loops or radar to suit your traffic.

What this work can involve

Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.
Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.
Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.

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

In England, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Rochester 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.

Your questions about insulated roller shutter doors

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