Sliding and folding industrial doors in Heywood

In short

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

Town: Heywood
Postcode district: OL10
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.

What this work can involve

Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.

Powered door rules that apply in Heywood

Heywood 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Greater Manchester 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.
