Insulated roller shutter doors in Oadby

In short

If your unit in Oadby loses heat through an old single-skin shutter, an insulated roller door is often the simplest fix. You get a free survey, a written fixed price and full commissioning on completion.

Town: Oadby
Postcode district: LE2
Area: Leicestershire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
Controls. Buttons, key switches, remotes, induction loops or radar to suit your traffic.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices fitted as the risk assessment requires.
Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.

What this work can involve

Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.
Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.
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 Oadby?

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.

How the work is organised

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.

Your questions about insulated roller shutter doors

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

How long does insulated roller door installation take in Oadby?

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.
