Rigid High Speed Doors
Where 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. It opens fast, seals better than a fabric curtain, and holds up on external walls of cold stores and logistics buildings where wind pressure and thermal separation both matter. The trade-off is a heavier, more mechanical product: the head unit needs space, the panels need protection from impact, and the installation has to be right or the door will be a maintenance item rather than an asset.

Critérios de seleção
- Confirm the head unit dimensions early; rigid doors need more room above the opening than a fabric curtain.
- External openings need the wind load stated, and the panel and guide specification follows from it.
- Plan impact protection for the guides. In a busy yard, guide damage is the most common failure.
- Compare whole-life cost with a PVC door rather than purchase price alone; the rigid door earns its place on cycle life.
Perguntas frequentes
- How does it differ from a PVC high speed door?
- A rigid door uses aluminium panels and a spiral head unit. It resists wind and impact better, needs more headroom, and costs more. A PVC door is lighter and cheaper but has lower wind and durability limits.
- Can it be insulated?
- Insulated panel options are available, which is why these doors are used on cold store exteriors.
- What maintenance does it need?
- Panel, guide and drive inspection at intervals. The exact schedule is confirmed with the installed configuration.
- Is a vision panel possible?
- Yes, glazed sections in the panels can be specified where the design needs sight lines.
