Options that matter on site

- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Bedford workplaces are covered by regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: a door that can be pushed open from either side must give, when closed, a clear view of the space close to both sides, which is why swing doors on traffic routes have vision panels. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Bedford can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Bedford?
A pair of traffic doors usually takes a few hours to fit once made to size. Work can often be done between shifts or outside opening hours, so normal operations are barely affected.
Will traffic doors in Bedford help keep areas warm or cool?
They cut draughts and help separate temperature zones, particularly with insulated leaves. For chillers and freezers, a dedicated cold store door is needed, sometimes with traffic doors or strips used inside.
Which traffic door material suits our Bedford site?
Polyethylene suits most warehouse and food areas, rubber takes heavier pallet truck impacts, insulated leaves help in chilled areas and stainless steel suits kitchens. We recommend one after seeing your traffic and cleaning needs.
