Specify Roller Shutter Doors to Secure your Business

A Buyers Guide to Roller Doors in a Commercial Setting

When looking for a security option that will cater for your business, roller shutter doors are an excellent choice. Available in a wide range of specifications and size options a roller shutter offers physical security at a price you can afford, is capable of performing a number of additional tasks such as providing insulation or preventing the spread of fire and is very easy to operate making them a great choice for any commercial setting.

With this in mind, listed below are some of the more common types of roller doors suitable for commercial, business and industrial applications.

Industrial roller doors that incorporate insulation into the shutter curtain are extremely robust and are primarily designed to help prevent heat escaping from a building. In addition to this, because the insulation is very dense, the core of the door is extremely strong making it very difficult for an intruder to break through.

Commonly available in a range of sizes up to 10 metres wide and 7metres high, industrial roller shutter doors can be operated manually using a chain hoist or for more convenience may be operated using a hold to run push button usually located within the control panel of the roller door.

High Speed Roller Shutter Doors

Where high volumes of traffic are required to enter and exit a building on a regular basis, high speed roller doors are the perfect solution. As the door can open and close in only a few seconds, the inside temperature of the building can be maintained far easier than if a standard roller shutter door were to be installed. Durable and hard wearing, a high speed roller door will give a little allowing should a forklift come into contact with it. This is important because it means that less maintenance will be required therefore making them the ideal solution for a wide range of applications including food manufacturing plants, distribution depots and chemical factories.

Fire Shutters

Where building regulations dictate the need for a way of preventing the spread of fire or smoke, fire rated roller shutters are the perfect choice. To achieve certification, fire shutter are tested to withstand fire usually for a period of either 1, 2 or 4 hours. Where there is a requirement from the local authority to protect certain parts of a building such as a chemical store, fire rated roller shutters are the only viable solution.

Designed to primarily offer great levels of security, a basic roller shutter is primarily used for small scale applications such as securing the entrance to a warehouse or storage building. Thanks to the design of this type of roller shutter door they are very difficult to penetrate due to the multi point locking systems in place on the back face of the roller shutter. Alternatively, larger roller shutter doors can be electrically operated using a key switch.
