Industrial Roller Shutter Doors

Each individual lath is made up of galvanized steel sectons as standard. For Industrial Roller Shutters these sections are available in three thicknesses to suit the size of opening and required security level.

We offer a varied range of chain or 3 phase electric operations for Industrial Roller Shutter Doors. Safety equipment and featres are also incorporated to protect personnel and vehicles against accidents, and prevent needless damage to your door.

For all electrically operated Industrial Roller Shutter Doors, a 1 phase or 3 phase motor is positioned at the top of the door which powers all of the mechanical components. An adequate power supply will be required in this general area.

The roller assembly is a steel tube fitted at both sides of the end plate which is used to hold the shutter curtain. The curtain rolls around the roller assembly when in use.

The “U” shaped vertical sections are located at the sides of the door allowing the curtain to travel up and down smoothly and securely.

The safety brake prevents the door from dropping in the vent of motor failure where pedestrian or vehicle access is required.

A canopy surrounds the components of the Industrial Roller Shutter Door at high level to prevent entrapment and improve aesthetics.

Bottom rail seals are available that incorporate safety sensors. Bush strip can also be placed into the vertical guides to minimise heat loss.

In the event of an electrically operated door meeting an obstruction when operating, sensors built within the bottom rail system are activated to disengage the door movement. Further safety devices are available dependent on requirements and operational cirumstances.

Industrial Roller Shutter Doors are typically finished with galvanised steel as standard, or you can choose from a range of 75 standard Powder Coat colours. This option gives the door a strong yet aesthetically attractive finish.

Roller shutters are incredibly secure from both pedestrian and vehicular access. In fact, this is one of the main reasons why many businesses choose to install Roller shutters in their industrial premises.

Installing roller shutters into the exterior access points of your premises not only improves the security of your building but also acts as a deterrent to potential thieves looking to gain easy access.

Built from mild steel, industrial roller security shutters will provide an additional layer of security and protection for your premises and it’s contents.

Also, if your premises is likely to be vacant for longer periods of time (such as Christmas or company shutdowns) steel roller shutters provide a greater degree of protection for vacant buildings.

The added security benefits of a roller shutter door also have the benefit of acting as a deterrent to forced-entry attempts to your premises.

Roller shutters send a clear message that the building is secure and protected and can prevent break-in attempts before they even happen.

Shutter doors can also deter vandalism as many doors can be coated to make them graffiti proof.

Hinged doors can be unpredictable, especially when used on external entrances to your industrial buildings. Roller shutter does are impervious to wind and only move up and down within their fixings.

Standard hinged doors often end up propped open with bricks or whatever is found to hand – this can mean than on windy days they are prone to slamming shut (potentially damaging the door and injuring members of staff).

With extreme weather conditions on the increase, roller shutter doors provide more protection from the elements than standard doors.

Whether its protection from wind or rain, a properly installed and maintained shutter door helps keep the heat and rain out and helps to keep the ambient temperature inside your premises constant.

Industrial Roller shutter doors provide much better protection against the spread of fire than traditional wooden doors. In the unlikely event of a fire, shutter doors can contain a fire and prevent it from spreading internally or externally to other buildings.

Note that the level of protection provided by a roller shutter door will vary based upon its construction – always check with your industrial door supplier first if you need specific fire retardant doors.

Unlike traditional doors that open outwards or inwards, roller shutter does open vertically which helps to increase the usable space of your premises. Loading and unloading also become easier as vehicles can be parked right up against the doors, allowing goods to be loaded more efficiently – saving you time and money.

You’ll also find that there’s no need to leave large clear areas of space around a roller shutter door. This means that you can store items closer to it within the building.

If your business operations require some degree of privacy, roller shutter doors can provide an additional level of privacy for your business – both in terms of preventing observation of activities inside your premises, and soundproofing to prevent noise spreading outside your building.

Modern roller shutter doors are quick and easy to use, either manually via a chain system or power-operated.

Opening and closing the shutter doors is straightforward and as long as they are properly serviced and maintained, the opening mechanism is quick and easy.

Motorised roller shutter doors also have the option of being operated remotely via a hand-held transmitter instead of a standard key or rocker switch.

Although shutter doors may require slightly more investment in the short-term, a regularly serviced door will last for years to come. When you add together the benefits of these doors over their traditional counterparts, the investment makes good sense.

Double skinned, PU-foamed steel sections, with an interlocking hinged joint offering the best weather protection.

Industrial Doors are available with either manual or electrical operation.
All electrically operated Doors feature automatic locking. Manual Doors are operated and locked as standard on the inside using a padlock through a chain Keep or slide bolt.

The motor is simple, reliable and extremely durable, which dramatically reduces maintenance costs. Two versions of motor unit, with closing rates of 8 or 12-seconds, reduce heat loss by matching the motor speed with your access speed, be it vehicle or pedestrian.

In the event of an electrically operated door meeting an obstruction when operating, sensors built within the sealing system are activated to disengage the door movement. Further safety devices are available dependent on requirements and operational circumstances.

Certain Industrial Doors are equipped with a sealing system specifically designed to withstand ageing, consisting of four corner-sealing joints placed around the door. This rubber sealing system gives our doors the market’s best tested insulation and tightness values.

Windows can be placed in variable combinations and sizes in selected Industrial Door panels. Standard windows have aluminium frames with the option of Powder Coating. All window frames are constructed with an open thermal bridge and toughened insulated double glazed glass as standard.
