How high-speed doors work, and what to ask for
Vision strips in the curtain let drivers and pedestrians see what is on the other side. They are designed for very high numbers of cycles a day, which a standard roller shutter is not.
Food, pharmaceutical and cold-store sites use them to keep zones separate. Insulated and cold-store versions are available for temperature-controlled areas.
Features to choose from
- Light curtain safety protection
- Radar, loop, pull-cord and push-button activation
- Vision strips for safe traffic flow
- Self-repairing curtain on many models
- Fast-acting PVC fabric curtain
- Internal, external and cold-store versions

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

High-speed doors: common questions
Do you cover Leicester?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Leicester. We also cover nearby Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough.
What happens if a forklift hits the curtain?
On many models the curtain pops out of its guides and re-feeds itself on the next cycle, which avoids the damage a steel shutter would suffer.
Is a high-speed door secure?
Not on its own. The fabric curtain is for traffic and environmental control, so it is often paired with a roller shutter that closes out of hours.
How fast do they open?
High-speed doors open in a few seconds, much faster than a roller shutter. The exact speed depends on the model and size.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
