Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Bristol
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Bristol?
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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
