Energy Efficiency & Hygiene

High speed doors live up to their name by offering an opening and closing cycle that is far faster than traditional doors. The longer a door remains open, the more heat escapes. Fast-acting insulated doors not only provide the standard advantages of insulation, but also contribute to significant savings in heating costs which can help to reduce energy expenses.

In environments such as the food and chemical sectors, maintaining hygiene is vital. High speed doors help to minimise the infiltration of foreign particles. The swift movement of these doors significantly limits the chances of contaminants entering sensitive areas. Additionally, many rapid roll high speed doors can be easily cleaned, making them the ideal choice for clean room requirements.

Weather Resistance & Durability

The stacking version of our high speed doors holds a Wind Class 5 Rating, one of the highest in the industry. Thanks to its internal bars, it is able to withstand wind speeds of up to 150km/h. Due to this design, our stacking high speed doors can be situated in almost any environment and stand up to the task in hand.
