High Speed Doors

High-speed doors are specialised industrial doors designed to open and close very quickly. They are typically made from flexible materials like PVC or fabric and are designed to minimise disruption to workflow and energy loss in high-traffic areas.

By minimising downtime for vehicles and personnel, high speed doors significantly increase productivity. Rapid opening and closing also help to reduce energy loss due to drafts and temperature fluctuations, leading to substantial energy savings. Their durable construction and robust materials minimise the need for frequent repairs and replacements, resulting in reduced maintenance costs.

High-speed doors operate using various mechanisms. Spring-driven systems utilise compressed springs to power the door's rapid opening and closing. Motor-driven systems employ electric motors to drive the door's movement, often incorporating advanced control systems for precise operation. Air-powered systems utilise compressed air to quickly inflate or deflate chambers within the door, causing it to open or close. The specific mechanism used will vary depending on the type of door and the specific requirements of the application.

High-speed doors are highly secure when equipped with appropriate features. The use of heavy-duty fabrics and robust frames provides excellent resistance to physical intrusion. Security sensors can detect and respond to unauthorised attempts to breach the door. Integrated alarms can sound an alert in case of attempted forced entry. Additionally, high-speed doors can be integrated with existing access control systems for enhanced control and monitoring. By selecting the right type of high-speed door and incorporating appropriate security features, you can significantly enhance the security of your facility.
