What we fit in Barnstaple
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
What this work can involve
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Barnstaple 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Barnstaple 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.

Impact traffic doors in Barnstaple: your questions
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Barnstaple?
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.
Which traffic door material suits our Barnstaple 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.
Will traffic doors in Barnstaple 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.
