Sliding and folding industrial doors in Walthamstow

In short

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

Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Walthamstow

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.

Examples of work we can quote for

Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.

Powered door rules that apply in Walthamstow

Walthamstow 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.
