What are high speed roller doors?

High speed roller doors are a version of roller doors that are designed to open and close at a faster rate than their conventional counterparts. Ideal for environments where a large volume of traffic is present, they typically have a high speed motor in place that allows them to open and close extremely quickly. 

Allowing day-to-day operations to run as smoothly as possible, they also operate in the same manner that orthodox roller doors do, just at a faster rate. This means that when opened, they extend vertically upwards into a neat box on the ceiling, maximising space. 

What are the advantages of high speed roller doors?

There are numerous advantages of having high speed roller doors installed. These include:

Fast operating system – The main benefit of high speed systems, having these kinds of doors in place will allow the seamless flow of a high volume of traffic. This can enhance efficiency throughout your operation, allowing employees to move around as quickly as possible with minimum disruption. 

Secure – Another great benefit of high speed roller doors is that they’re extremely secure. Made from robust materials, they’re incredibly difficult to penetrate – meaning your property is safe at all times. They’re also extremely safe and won’t close if they sense an obstruction, such as a person or vehicle. 

Reliable – Due to the quality of materials used in the manufacturing process, high speed roller doors also offer fantastic reliability. If it’s longevity you’re after, they’re the way to go as they rarely break down or require much maintenance.    

What are high speed roller doors used for?
