What to know about high-speed doors in South Glamorgan

They are designed for very high numbers of cycles a day, which a standard roller shutter is not. High-speed doors open and close much faster than roller shutters, so the opening spends less time open. Radar, induction loops and pull cords open the door automatically as traffic approaches.

Food, pharmaceutical and cold-store sites use them to keep zones separate. Light curtains in the frame stop the curtain closing if anything is in the opening.

Options we can specify

  • High daily cycle rating
  • Radar, loop, pull-cord and push-button activation
  • Light curtain safety protection
  • Fast-acting PVC fabric curtain
  • Vision strips for safe traffic flow
  • Pairs with a roller shutter for security

Covering South Glamorgan

We cover South Glamorgan from Cardiff to Barry and Penarth, with 3 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Wales, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Wales

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Do high-speed doors save energy?

They reduce the time an opening stands open, which cuts heat loss and draughts on busy doors.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
