Each door\u00a0operates\u00a0with a fold-up motion which automatically collects the curtain as it rises, before storing it in the compact head column &#8211; out of sight, and out of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Complete with an inverter drive, push button station, and even a self-repairing system (we\u2019ll\u00a0explore this in more detail later), there is no better choice than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ukrapiddoorsystems.co.uk\/industrial-doors.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a roll up door from UK Rapid Door Systems<\/a>, but which option is the right choice for your premises?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s\u00a0find out together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zip Speed Door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First up, our Zip Speed Door. A popular choice owing to its ability to reduce wait times at key access points, this curtain system has also been designed to provide protection against wind pressures up to Category 5 and reduce draughts for stable internal temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all our roll up doors, it is available in a range of RAL colours, with special colours available upon request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Operating Speed<\/strong>: Up to 1 metre per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommended For<\/strong>:\u00a0Industrial and commercial premises, including sales floors and warehouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insulated Dual Door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst little time is lost waiting for our Insulated Dual Door to open and close, its insulation value of 4.8W\/m2K ensures that only the\u00a0minimum\u00a0amount of heat is lost whilst the door is open. The system is also a highly effective security measure, with 95mm deep insulated lath that (unlike conventional doors that swing outwards and get in the way) is easily stored in the head column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Operating Speed<\/strong>: 800mm to 1000mm per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommended For<\/strong>: Premises with high traffic flow across their temperature-controlled areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turbo Fold Door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a maximum width of 12000mm, and a maximum height of 10000mm, the Turbo Fold Door is designed for large industrial openings. Despite its size, it\u00a0operates\u00a0just like any other roll up door, with a fold-up motion and a vertical frame to let forklifts, pallet stackers, and even delivery vehicles pass through without any obstructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Operating Speed<\/strong>: 1 metre per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommended For<\/strong>: All external and internal openings,\u00a0with the exception of\u00a0clean rooms and other sterile areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turbo Roll Door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering even faster speeds of up to 1.5 metres per second, the Turbo Roll Door minimises drafts, prevents airborne pollution, and reduces heat loss, but\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0let these rapid speeds be a cause for concern. Our innovative self-repairing system activates upon impact and automatically resets the door within just one cycle to protect your goods from all external conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Operating Speed<\/strong>: Up to 1.5 metres per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommended For<\/strong>: Industrial applications including clean rooms and food preparation units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ice Freezer Door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Ice Freezer Door offers the operating speeds\u00a0required\u00a0to\u00a0maintain\u00a0temperatures between +70 \u00b0C and -30\u00b0C, ensuring that it is only ever open for as long as is\u00a0absolutely necessary. An integral heating system, twin skin construction, and (of course) self-repairing system all come as standard to further guarantee consistent temperatures and ongoing performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Operating Speed<\/strong>:\u00a0Up to 1500mm per second (available upon request).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommended For<\/strong>: All cold store applications, such as chilled or frozen storage units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Room Door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fastest door system available in our range, the Clean Room Door is designed to meet all your clean room storage needs.
