Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Burnley

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.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.

What this work can involve

Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.

Powered door rules that apply in Burnley

Burnley 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

For busy sites in Lancashire 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.
