Options that matter on site
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Powered door rules that apply in Chelsea
Chelsea 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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
