What to specify

Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.
Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.
Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.
Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
Controls. From a simple button station to loops and radar, the controls match how often the door opens.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.
Converting a hand-chained insulated roller door to electric operation with a safety edge and photocells.
Fitting a compact insulated service door to a plant room to reduce the noise reaching neighbouring offices.

Powered door rules that apply in Houghton-le-Spring

Houghton-le-Spring 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.
