Options that matter on site
- Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
- Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.
- Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
- Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.
- Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.

Powered door rules that apply in Southport
Southport 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
