Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Atherton

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.

What this work can involve

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

Powered door rules that apply in Atherton

Atherton 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.
