Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Cumbria
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.

Powered door rules that apply in Cumbria
Cumbria 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
Most installations in Cumbria can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
