Industrial Doors
Industrial doors are widely used in the industrial and commercial sectors for safeguarding buildings such as factories, manufacturing facilities and warehouses. Due to the wide-ranging nature of these buildings, industrial doors are manufactured in a variety of shapes, sizes and construction - including sectional, roller and high speed.
If you're in the market for industrial doors, it's useful to first think about the characteristics which are most important. Durability, insulation, method or speed of opening, ventilation or security? Or all of the above?
At PGE, we have built a strong reputation with a wide range of customers supplying and installing doors on commercial premises across the UK. We are members of the DHF - the trade association for companies associated with industrial doors, shutters, locks and building hardware - demonstrating our commitment to the highest levels of technical expertise and professionalism.
Industrial Doors by Type
There are four main types of industrial door. At PGE, we can supply and fit any of these:
- Roller Shutter Doors
- Sectional Overhead Doors
- Sliding Folding Doors
- Rapid Action Doors
We supply and install a comprehensive range of industrial doors for commercial and industrial premises across the UK.
Industrial Doors
Roller Shutter Doors
A popular choice in a range of environments, the roller shutter is as hard-working and hard-wearing as you need it to be. Constructed from sturdy aluminium or steel, roller shutter doors open and close onto a roller which protects the door when retracted.
- Manual or automatic operation
- Electrical motor recommended for high-use doors
- Fire-resistant options available
- Integrated into fire alarm systems on request
Sectional Overhead Doors
A traditional and reliable option, the sectional overhead door is easy to use and hard-wearing. Many designs are available including glazed, thermal and ventilated options, with security measures built in to your requirements.
- Manual (pulley/geared hoist) or automatic operation
- Wide range of electric motors and access control systems
- Watertight seals on each side as standard
- Aesthetic options available
Sliding Folding Doors
These doors retract horizontally as opposed to vertically, with panels folding in a concertina pattern as the door opens. Ideal for buildings with limited space around the opening or where ceiling height is restricted.
- Reduced collision risk - doors remain fully visible
- Thermal insulation and weather resistance options
- Low maintenance and easy to operate
- Manual or electric versions
Rapid Action Doors
For situations where speed is of the essence. Ideally suited to temperature-controlled or hygiene-sensitive environments such as cold stores or clean rooms. Rapid action doors are, on average, four times faster than their equivalents.
- Minimised heat loss and reduced energy costs
- Increased productivity for distribution and logistics centres
- Robust and powerful motors designed for rapid cycling
- Wide range of colours, sizes and designs
Maintenance & Repair
The upkeep of your industrial doors is important. Following such a significant financial outlay, keeping them in top condition helps to prolong their life and avoid unexpected downtime.
Preventative Maintenance
We always recommend a preventative maintenance programme to our customers. It's a core feature of our aftersales service and it's guaranteed to benefit your business. With planned maintenance throughout the year, our technicians are always on hand to perform regular service checks to keep your doors performing at their best.
Repairs
There will inevitably be times when your equipment needs repairing. We'll perform a thorough check to ensure a repair is warranted. We know that having any access point out of action is less than ideal - so our priority will always be to get your door back in operation as quickly as possible.
CE Marking
CE marking is widely recognised in manufacturing sectors and since July 2013, it has been a criminal offence to market certain products without the CE mark. The mark proves that the product has been manufactured to EU standards.
This includes all non-fire resistant industrial doors covered by harmonised standards under the Construction Products Regulation 2011. All doors supplied and installed by us carry the required CE marking.
Our membership of the DHF also requires full compliance in this regard. When you choose a CE marked product from us, as a DHF member, you can be sure the product has been rigorously checked to ensure it complies with health, safety and environmental regulations - removing the onus from you to verify compliance or carry out a specific product risk assessment.
What CE Marking Means for You
"We recently contacted PGE with regards to an industrial door that needed repair at our West London Volvo dealership. The door had stopped working which was causing us huge problems in getting vehicles in and out of the workshop. Whilst PGE had not originally installed the door they were more than happy to help. They responded promptly and within a matter of hours of making the call they arrived, identified the issue and speedily made the repair. This massively reduced the negative impact on the business and meant we quickly got back to being fully operational!"Chief Executive, Endeavour Automotive
