Sliding and folding industrial doors Aberdeen and Aberdeenshir

In short

Not enough headroom for a shutter at your Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

Area: Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Nation: Scotland
Main town: Aberdeen
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.

Jobs we can carry out

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
