What to specify
- Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.
- Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
- Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
- Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
- Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing an insulated roller door with induction loop activation on a busy internal forklift route.
- Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.
- Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Cardiff are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
How the work is organised
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does insulated roller door installation take in Cardiff?
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.
Does a powered insulated roller door in Cardiff 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.
Is there enough headroom for an insulated roller door at our Cardiff 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.
