Designed for Demanding Environments
Engineered to meet the highest UK and European standards, our sectional overhead doors perform exceptionally in a variety of industrial and commercial settings. From extreme temperatures to high winds and heavy rain, these doors provide secure and dependable access every time.
Key Advantages of Sectional Doors
Customisable to Your Needs
Constructed using high-grade composite panels, our doors are fully customisable in size, finish, and colour. With a wide range of RAL colours available, you can match your facility’s branding or aesthetic seamlessly. Optional windows and pedestrian access doors can be integrated for added functionality.
Exceptional Durability
Longevity is built into every component. Our panels are made with corrosion-resistant, galvanised steel and are finished with a protective coating to ensure they stand up to even the harshest weather. Reinforced panel structures provide stability and resistance to warping or deformation.
Precision Engineering
Each door is made to measure, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth operation. Whether manual, semi-automatic, or fully electric, our sectional overhead doors are delivered with precise installation and quality-assured components.
Superior Construction and Performance
High Thermal Efficiency
With insulated steel sandwich panels (40mm as standard, 80mm available), our doors deliver excellent thermal performance. A tight interlocking design ensures minimal air leakage and optimal energy efficiency — ideal for temperature-controlled environments.
Robust Mechanical Hardware
Our spring systems and hoisting cables are engineered for safety and strength. Tension springs are powder coated and oiled for longevity, and lifting cables are oversized for extra protection. These critical components are chosen for their durability under heavy use.
Smooth, Quiet Operation
Custom-engineered track systems are manufactured from high-tensile galvanised steel. Nylon-tyred rollers with self-lubricating, sealed-for-life bearings provide near-silent operation and reduce long-term maintenance.
Safety Built-In as Standard
Compliance & Certification
All doors are CE marked and tested to comply with:
- BS EN 13241-1:2003 + A1:2001
- BS EN 12604 (Mechanical safety)
- BS EN 12453 (Safe use of power-operated doors)
- BS EN 12424 – Wind Load: Class 3 (higher classes available)
- BS EN 12425 – Water Tightness: Class 3
- BS EN 12426 – Air Tightness: Class 2
- Acoustic insulation: Rated at 25dB
Third-party certification ensures every product meets the highest standards of performance and safety.
Spring and Cable Break Protection
To protect users and property, every manually operated door comes standard with a spring brake device to prevent uncontrolled door closure in the event of spring failure. In addition, our cables are oversized for redundancy and come standard with a cable break safety mechanism for added peace of mind.
Advanced Operating Options
Choose from:
- Manual operation for basic, low-traffic access
- Chain hoist options for semi-automated control
- Electric motor operation for high-traffic or remote access, with available safety edge or light curtain systems for enhanced protection
Optional Safety Edge & Light Curtains
Electronically operated doors can be fitted with advanced safety systems. A pressure-sensitive safety edge halts and reverses the door upon contact with an obstruction. Light curtains offer full-opening protection by detecting movement and preventing accidental closure on people or objects.
Precision-Built to Your Specifications
Each overhead sectional door is manufactured to your exact specifications and installed by our expert fitters. We take pride in delivering precision-engineered doors with fast lead times and reliable aftercare support.
Finger Guard Protection
Our panel design includes built-in finger guards on doors up to 2.5m high (in line with CE requirements), and optional protection is available for taller doors.
Add Natural Light and Visibility with Glazing Options
Looking to brighten up your workspace or improve visibility through the door? Our sectional overhead doors can be fitted with one or more insulated windows in oval or rectangular shapes, providing both light and a line of sight to the outside.
For maximum illumination, we offer the option to glaze the full width of the door by replacing standard steel panels with panoramic aluminium-framed window sections. This not only floods the interior with natural light but also enhances the industrial appearance of your facility. It’s an ideal solution for workspaces where visibility, brightness, and a professional look are key priorities.
Whether you need a few well-placed viewing windows or a fully glazed configuration, we’ll customise your door to match both functional needs and aesthetic goals.
