What to specify

Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
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.
Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.

Examples of work we can quote for

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Stowmarket 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.

How the work is organised

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about impact traffic doors

Will traffic doors in Stowmarket 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 Stowmarket 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.

Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Stowmarket?

Usually, yes. We replace leaves, hinges, kick plates and vision panels on most traffic doors, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering replacement parts.
