Our universal roller shutter doors are all priced competitively (and are cheaper than sectional doors), are easy to use and are generally low maintenance. And, we can custom make your doors to fit your specific site layout.

You can choose from a wide range of manually operated or powered doors (with or without a remote) and a variety of controls and finishes.

Insulation is widely acknowledged as beneficial to the environment. It keeps buildings warm in winter, reducing heating loss and as a direct result, reducing your heating bills.

It can also help to keep buildings cool in the summer and reduce your air conditioning bills. In the same way that insulation stops heat escaping, it can also prevent heat from outside entering making insulated doors ideal for heat control generally.

Another benefit to consider is that insulated doors help to reduce noise entering your building.

In summary, insulated roller shutter doors are ideal for:

• Temperature control e.g. refrigerated facilities
• Tackling noise pollution
• Energy efficiency
• Draught reduction

Our insulated doors are made from galvanised steel. Each lathe (or door strip) is individually insulated, constructed using a thick polystyrene-type material with a hard plastic moulding. These lathes are then sandwiched between the steel, creating a finished product with insulation properties far in excess of that required by UK building regulations.

Typically found in food preparation factories, they are also an ideal choice for environments where noise pollution is an issue.

Our rapid roll doors can be easily sub-divided providing a range of access options and allowing you to choose how much of the door needs to be open.

These high-powered doors also come with or without vision panels. Vision panels let in natural light and allow you to look at your industrial space without opening the door.

When fire breaks out, your business and employees are at risk. Installing fire shutter doors minimises that risk and helps you to protect your building, your products and your people. Statistics demonstrate that many businesses fail to recover following a fire. And if you’ve not taken steps to protect your business adequately, your insurers may refuse to honour a claim.

Fire shutter doors work in a similar way to internal fire doors. They are constructed from fire retardant materials which mean they can withstand fire, heat and smoke for a specific period of time. All our doors come with a fire rating (or fire resistance level) which indicates how long they can withstand the effects of a fire, usually from 30 minutes to four hours.

Building regulations state that doors should provide the same fire resistance as the wall they are built into. What’s more, your fire shutters should always form part of a wider fire safety strategy including fire alarms and possibly a sprinkler system. A fire risk assessment can help you determine your approach to fire safety.

As with all industrial doors, when considering which fire shutter door meets your needs, you should take into account:

• Headroom restriction
• How the door will be used e.g. frequency and what goods will pass through it?
• Budget
• Aesthetics e.g. are customers nearby and do you need to consider company branding?

Manual doors are often cheaper than automatic, although not always – this will depend on the specific drive option and how technologically superior it is. Your business requirements are generally the driving force behind a decision, but if you’re unclear, we can have a chat about which door might be most suitable.

There are two main drive options for automatic doors. A direct drive motor is a heavy duty option and, with considerable power transmission between the motor and the door, is well suited to environments where doors will be in regular use. It’s also more efficient for heavier and larger doors up to 6500mm wide and 6500mm high. Do bear in mind that this option requires more space around the door as the working parts are bolted on to the sides.

Most of our doors with a direct drive option are pre-wired for easy installation and include a 1 Ph 3-pin CEE plug or 3 Ph 5-pin CEE plug. A 16 amp socket is required within one metre of the motor drive side of the door, positioned 1500mm from finished floor level.

Doors with tube operated motors are designed for doors in intermittent use in compact environments and are cheaper than direct drive options. They are suitable for internal, external or reveal fits. Your door opening can’t be larger than 29m2 as this is the maximum size for tubular motor shutters.

In the case of power failure, these doors can still be operated via a manual hand crank which is fitted as standard. Controls are usually in the form of a wall-mounted key switch or rocker switch.
