Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Runcorn

Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.

Jobs we can carry out

Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Runcorn

Runcorn 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
