Types of industrial doors
Roller Shutter
Roller shutter doors operate by smoothly rolling up and down a track, providing secure and space-efficient access. Customisable materials and finishes make them adaptable to various applications, while the vertical opening/closing design enhances space efficiency. This type of door is commonly used in warehouses, storage facilities, garages, workshops, and retail storefronts.
High Speed Doors
A high-speed door is a type of industrial door designed for rapid opening and closing. They are ideal for optimising traffic flow, energy efficiency, and security in various settings. They are also known as ‘fast action doors’, ‘rapid action doors’ and ‘high speed roller doors’. They are ideal for environments where quick access and climate control are crucial.
Sectional
Sectional doors, comprising horizontal panels that slide up and overhead, provide secure and reliable solutions for industrial applications. With robust construction and a vertical opening design that maximises interior space, sectional doors offer a seamless and quiet operation. Commonly used in loading docks, fire stations, commercial and industrial garages, and locations where thermal insulation is crucial.
What kind of businesses use industrial doors?
Manufacturing plants: Industrial doors are crucial in manufacturing plants where controlled access and efficient workflow are vital. They facilitate the movement of materials, machinery, and personnel while maintaining security and safety standards.
Warehouses and distribution centres: In large-scale warehouses and distribution centres, industrial doors contribute to streamlined logistics. They enable quick and secure access to storage areas, easy inventory management, and support the seamless flow of goods around the facility.
Loading docks: Loading docks in various industries rely on industrial doors to streamline the loading and unloading processes. High-speed doors, for instance, ensure rapid access, minimising downtime and contributing to efficient logistics operations.
Commercial spaces: Retail storefronts, shopping centres, and commercial complexes benefit from industrial doors, especially those designed for secure after-hours closure. For example, roller shutter doors provide an additional layer of protection against theft and vandalism.
Fire stations and emergency services: Industrial doors are instrumental in fire stations, ambulance bays, and emergency service facilities. Their quick response times, coupled with robust construction, aid in the swift deployment of emergency vehicles
