What we fit in Cowes

Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.

What this work can involve

Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Cowes 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

For busy sites in the Isle of Wight 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.

Your questions about impact traffic doors

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Cowes 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.

Which traffic door material suits our Cowes 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.

Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around the Isle of Wight?

Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across the Isle of Wight, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
