Options for impact traffic doors in Formby
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Formby, the Workplace Regulations 1992 set the basics: doors suitably constructed, swing doors giving a clear view through when closed, and maintenance under regulation 5. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, an emergency exit door must open easily in the direction of travel and must not be locked or fastened so it cannot be opened immediately in an emergency.

Frequently asked questions
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around Merseyside?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Merseyside, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
Will traffic doors in Formby 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 Formby 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.
