Advantages of High Speed Doors

There are a number of major benefits to installing high-speed doors over other door options Some of the most notable benefits of using high-speed doors include:

• Improved Safety: High-speed doors have few moving parts, which minimises the risk of injury. They can also be sealed tight as a safety measure, enough to prevent gases or fire from easily spreading between areas.
• Higher Security: Many high-speed doors are only open for a few moments at a time and are closed tight when not opened. This makes it hard for somebody to slip through unnoticed and prevents forced entry.
• Improved Productivity: A high-speed door can open fully in only a few seconds at most, letting employees move between secure areas without having to wait.
• Easier Heat and Air Control: Many high-speed doors seal almost airtight, preventing heat loss and/or cold loss depending on what the doors are installed for. Many doors can be outfitted with extra insulation to suit the environments in which they are installed.

• Quiet Operation: Many of the best high-speed doors operate with very little noise, meaning that opening and closing them often is not disruptive.
• Easy Maintenance: Many of these doors are very easy to maintain due to the limited amount of moving door parts and the simple door mechanisms that most of them use.
• Higher Energy Efficiency: Not only does retaining heat help with heating energy costs, but most doors also boast good energy efficiency, meaning that opening them only has a light energy cost overall.
• Provide High Speed Access: Rapid roll doors are great for industrial and commercial areas that experience a high traffic flow that need almost instant access. The roller shutter doors can open at such high speed, there is never any waiting around during important work tasks.

Types of Rapid Rise Doors

There are many types of high-speed doors, often known by other names such as rapid rise doors or rapid roll doors.

Internal Speed Doors

Internal speed doors are used for internal applications, such as separating different industrial environments within one building.

The combination of insulation and full sealing lets these doors serve as a flexible curtain between areas.

These are used when traffic is frequent, but safety is required or for environments like kitchens and production areas where even something like dust can cause potential problems.

External Speed Doors

External speed doors are designed as high-performance exterior doors, designed to both save energy by minimising heat loss and providing improved security.

These are designed for easy operation during working hours while also boosting security overnight, preventing easy break-ins.

For example, industrial loading bays with high traffic can benefit from these high-speed door designs.

High Speed Rolling Doors

Rolling doors are shutters that roll upwards into a fixed track or coil, usually as a single steel curtain.

This combination makes them suitable for high-traffic areas where fast, vertically-opening doors are needed.

High Speed Folding Doors

Folding doors are door designs that fold in sideways, creating a horizontal opening.

These are often used in an industrial setting where space is limited, and a vertically-opening door is not a practical option, instead allowing the door to open to the side.

High-Speed Roller Shutter Doors

Roller shutters are made using horizontal slats that are all connected together, opening upwards into a roller.

These are useful for situations where standard doors do not work or when they need to take up as little space as possible.

High Speed Industrial Doors

General-purpose high-speed doors for industrial use can take many forms, but the most basic is simply a solid surface that lifts upwards.

What are Fast Action Doors?

Fast-action doors are any high-speed door designed to open quickly, letting employees into a building while limiting dust spread, air flow, heating/cold flow, insulation issues and potential injuries.

High-performance doors can remain shut most of the time until employees need to pass through.

Most high-speed roller shutter doors can minimise energy costs, injuries and air flow concerns.

Each door may be designed differently (such as transparent doors, rapid roll doors or roller shutter doors), but they all separate two environments (for both external or internal applications) and offer fast operation.

Where are High Speed Doors Fitted?

High-speed doors can be fitted in many places, including:

• Industrial storage sites
• Food manufacturing areas
• Manufacturing plants
• Building supplies storage
• Vehicle garages
• Factory floors
• Laboratories
• Automotive zones
• Cold storage
