Review Your Security
First and foremost, industrial door systems are manufactured and installed to protect your site from break-ins and unauthorised access. Security doors, equipped with advanced locking mechanisms and made with durable materials, act as a formidable barrier against intruders and provide businesses with the confidence to carry out their daily operations without security concerns.
They also function as one important part of a wider security network, and by combining your new security door with cameras, alarms, and security teams you can create a multi-layered defence system that guarantees the highest levels of security. So, before you start looking at doors from potential suppliers, take the time to review your current security measures and existing doors to find any areas for improvement or potential security risks, and compile a list of key requirements that your new door must meet.
Consider Your Location
Next, take into consideration your location and surroundings and identify any environmental conditions that your doors will need to be able to withstand. Some of these include:
⦁ Coastal Areas: Doors in coastal locations will need to be able to resist corrosion from salt air, storms, and high-speed winds.
⦁ Heavy Rainfall Regions: Weather-resistant doors with a tight weather seal will prevent any water from entering and flooding the site.
⦁ Residential Proximity: Industrial premises near to residential areas will need to have good soundproofing and noise control properties to prevent noise pollution and disturbances.
⦁ Cold Areas: If your local area often sees below average temperatures, then include ‘good insulative properties’ in your list of requirements.
⦁ High Traffic Areas: Expecting your doors to be in use all day, every day? Choose a reliable structure that will prevent any wear and tear from being repeatedly opened and closed.
By taking into consideration any challenges posed by your location, you can browse with confidence that you are selecting a doorset that not only meets your operational needs but also withstands the specific local conditions that your premises face.
Identify Fire Resistance
Fire doors and shutters are installed to prevent the spread of fire and to protect the site, occupants, and contents during emergencies. Their ability to withstand high temperatures and to contain flames and smoke without sustaining extensive damage provides crucial time for evacuation and protects the employees whilst they exit the building, so it is important to choose doors that offer this life-saving protection.
When choosing fire-resistant options, look for those that meet all relevant safety standards and certifications to ensure the most reliable protection for your business. Our Fire Shutter range includes:
⦁ Insulated fire shutters offering 8 minutes insulation with 240 minutes integrity
⦁ Industrial fire shutters offering 240 minutes integrity, with an industrial motor unit
⦁ Commercial fire shutters offering 240 minutes integrity, with a tubular motor unit
So, choose a door that responds to emergencies on your behalf with our automatic closing mechanisms and integrated fire alarm systems, and protect your business and future from unexpected disasters.
Assess Traffic Flow
If your business sees the frequent movement of goods or supplies to and from your business, and your doors are often open to accommodate this, then now is the time to invest in high-speed doors.
Having heavy and frequent foot traffic does not mean that you need to keep your doors open, it simply means that you need new doors to meet these demands. High-speed doors minimise the waiting times as a door opens or closes, meaning that your team is able to shut the doors behind them without losing any time or affecting productivity, and they are also able to withstand this constant use without requiring repairs or excessive maintenance.
