Rolling shutter doors for industrial use

The rolling shutter doors market is changing. Roller shutters have long been associated with security, protecting buildings of all shapes and sizes, namely factories, warehouse units, plants, logistics centres and other industrial units. Today, these pioneering doors can deliver a variety of benefits to businesses, with structures that incorporate:

• Insulating layers
• Safety systems
• Increased heating controls
• Defence against corrosive atmospheres
• Protection against experienced attempts of forced entry

With modern rolling shutter doors, it’s much easier to find a door that’s ideal for your particular application. Some of the key benefits include:

Heightened security

Roll shutter doors provide excellent structural strength, with exceptional wind resistance. The solid build is enough to deter most seasoned burglars, whilst the highest quality rolling shutter doors can withstand forced-entry attempts. For most warehouses and factories in the UK, roller shutters deliver a vital layer of security to protect premises, people and assets.

Streamlined functionality

Investing in a robust, economical and long-lasting rolling shutter door means little if it only hinders your workflow. Fortunately, today’s industrial roller shutters operate quickly and efficiently, and can be paired with safety devices and traffic lights to ensure hassle-free and safe use. This can play an essential role in improving access for workers whilst providing better use of space. For example, vehicles can be parked right up to roll shutter doors, so goods can be loaded and unloaded efficiently, which is crucial for warehouses and distribution centres.

Privacy

Many businesses require a degree of privacy, and there are not many doors that come close to rolling shutters in terms of preventing onlookers from seeing what’s going on inside. Soundproofing can also be included to ensure noise does not spread outside of your building.

Simple operation

Factories, laboratories, power stations, chemical plants and production lines all have different needs. Simple operation is crucial, especially with roller shutter doors likely to be operated regularly. Previously, the majority of roll shutter doors were operated manually, using a chain system; however, new models often feature high-speed automatic operation as standard, and can be operated remotely via a hand-held transmitter.

Fire protection

Statistics show that in 2016-17 there were over 19,000 fires in UK businesses with about 30% being deliberate. While the industrial sector faces a higher risk of fires breaking out because of the nature of the work, fires cost lives (as well as money) for all industries. With certified fire roller shutters for doors, it’s possible to limit the spread of a fire, preventing it from spreading throughout your premises, and to other buildings.
