HIGH SPEED DOORS

High Speed Doors or Fast Acting Doors – Although now been around a number of years, must be considered to be the Most Modern door on the market.

As demand grew for a product which could allow the swift movement of materials and traffic from one area to another to minimise heat loss, contamination and airborne pollution. A door had to be created to offer a Safe, Fast, Automatic opening and closing but also had to be Low Maintenance for the demands being placed on it.

The High Speed Door, recognisable due to its Fabric Curtain material, this same material is what has resulted in a door to be of low maintenance due to the absence of moving components within the door blade and lighter-weight, offering opening speeds of up to 3m/per second. High Speed Doors are not Security Doors and are generally fitted in conjunction with more suitable doors on External Applications.

Anti-Static, Strong Multi-Woven, Multi-Coloured and also Clear curtains can not only brighten up Working areas because of its Translucent nature, They are also resistant to preventing airborne dust and dirt from collecting on it. These advantages not only make the doors ideal for retaining heat, cold and ambient temperatures but also for Hygienic, Pharmaceutical and Food Preparation Areas.

Self-Supporting mild steel side guide assemblies (Stainless Steel options available) allow the doors to be used in conjunction with External outer doors without the need for additional structural steelwork. Depending upon door type and size, the guide assemblies via High Quality, Low Maintenance, Self Aligning Bearings support the barrel for Roll Up Doors and Shafts for Lift Up Doors. Powder Coated Finish to any Standard RAL or BS colour to all Steelwork.
