What we fit in Newcastle upon Tyne

Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Newcastle upon Tyne?

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

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.

Insulated roller shutter doors in Newcastle upon Tyne: your questions

Can you replace our old roller shutter in Newcastle upon Tyne with an insulated one?

Yes. We recommend a complete new door rather than a new curtain on old parts, and include strip-out and disposal in the quote so the old shutter goes when the new one is fitted.

Will an insulated roller door cut heating bills at our Newcastle upon Tyne 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.

Does a powered insulated roller door in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
