Options for impact traffic doors in Thornaby-on-Tees
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
- 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.
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
What this work can involve
- 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 Thornaby-on-Tees, 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.

Impact traffic doors in Thornaby-on-Tees: your questions
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Thornaby-on-Tees 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 Thornaby-on-Tees 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 North Yorkshire?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across North Yorkshire, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
