Questions from businesses in Chester-le-Street

Will traffic doors in Chester-le-Street 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.

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Chester-le-Street warehouse?

Generally not. Forklifts are too heavy and fast for most traffic doors and quickly damage the leaves. For forklift routes we would usually recommend a high-speed door or a strip curtain instead.

How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Chester-le-Street?

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.
