Cold Storage Doors
A cold storage door is a thermal product before it is a door. Its job is to hold the temperature difference between two rooms while letting traffic through, which means the panel thickness, the sealing detail, the frame heater and the closing mechanism all have to be specified against the room temperature rather than against a door size. Chilled rooms, blast freezers, docking interfaces and anterooms each put a different load on the door, and the difference between a door that works and one that frosts up is usually in the details around the seal.

- Insulated Sliding Cold Storage DoorAn insulated sliding door for high-traffic cold room openings, with the sealing detail matched to the room temperature.
- Insulated Hinged Cold Room DoorAn insulated hinged door for smaller cold rooms and low-traffic openings where a swing leaf is simpler to maintain.
Critérios de seleção
- Give the room temperature and the traffic pattern at enquiry; panel thickness and sealing follow from those two facts.
- Consider frame heating where the opening sits between very different temperatures, otherwise frost will form on the frame.
- For high-traffic cold rooms, a fast-operating door reduces refrigeration load more than a thicker panel does.
- Plan the floor detail: a cold store door has to work with the floor insulation and the traffic across the threshold.
Perguntas frequentes
- What temperature range do the doors cover?
- The range is confirmed against the specific room and the selected construction. It is not quoted as one blanket figure.
- Are sliding or hinged doors better?
- It depends on the opening size and the traffic. Sliding suits large and frequent openings; hinged suits smaller rooms and low traffic.
- Do they need heating?
- Frame and threshold heating are used where condensation and frost would otherwise occur. It is decided from the temperature pair and humidity.
- Can they be combined with a fast door?
- Yes. A fast-operating door at a high-traffic cold room opening is a common pairing, and the two are specified together.

- Rigid High Speed DoorsWhere a flexible curtain would be beaten by wind or worn out by constant traffic, a rigid high speed door uses aluminium panels that spiral into a compact head unit
- Stacking DoorsA stacking door gathers its curtain upward in folds rather than rolling it onto a drum, which is how very large openings get fast operation without an oversized head unit

- Industrial Sliding DoorsAn industrial sliding door moves sideways instead of swinging or lifting, which makes it the practical answer for wide workshop openings where there is no headroom for a track and no room for a leaf to swing
- Industrial Folding DoorsA folding door splits a wide opening into leaves that fold back against the jamb, so the clear opening is almost the full span and the parked door takes very little wall space
