Options that matter on site
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
- Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Wigan 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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about impact traffic doors
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Wigan 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.
Will traffic doors in Wigan 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.
How much do impact traffic doors cost in Wigan?
Our guide price is £895 to £2,495 ex VAT for a pair of impact traffic doors, supplied and fitted. Material, size, insulation and vision panels set the price, which we confirm in writing after a free survey in Wigan.
