Complete guide to high speed doors for industrial buildings

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explain everything you need to know about high-speed industrial doors, from their definition and benefits to the different types and their maintenance.

What are high-speed fabric doors?

Rapid fabric doors are locking systems designed for intensive use in industrial environments. They are made of high-strength materials, usually PVC tarpaulin, which allows them to withstand adverse conditions and frequent use. These doors are characterized by their speed of opening and closing, which makes them ideal for sectors with a large influx of workers and goods.

Benefits of high speed doors in industrial buildings

Efficiency and energy savings

One of the main advantages of high-speed fabric doors is their ability to significantly reduce energy losses. Thanks to their quick opening and closing, they minimize air exchange between the inside and outside of the building, helping to maintain a controlled temperature. This translates into considerable savings in air conditioning costs, both in winter and summer.

Safety and security

The high-speed fabric doors are designed to offer a high level of safety and security. They incorporate advanced obstacle detection systems and emergency mechanisms that ensure the protection of workers and equipment. In addition, their strength helps protect facilities against intruders and adverse weather conditions.

Workflow optimization

In an industrial environment, time is a valuable resource. High-speed doors allow a constant and agile flow of people and goods, avoiding downtime and improving productivity. Their automatic operation and the possibility of integrating them with other control systems facilitate operation and movement within the warehouse.

Types of high speed doors and their applications

Roll-up doors

High-speed roll-up doors are ideal for high traffic areas where continuous opening and closing is required. Their design allows installation in small spaces, and their versatility makes them suitable for various sectors such as food, pharmaceutical and logistics.

Self-repairing doors

Self-repairing high-speed doors are one of the best options for accessing and separating the different work areas of your buildings and warehouses. They have a self-repairing system that guarantees watertightness and, in addition, they have a high resistance to wind. In the event of small impacts, the curtain comes out of the guides to prevent breakage and is then automatically reinserted to keep it always operational.

Fold-up doors

High-speed fold-uop doors are a durable option, especially designed for large openings. They are characterized by their ability to withstand high winds and extreme weather conditions, making them an ideal choice for outdoor installations or loading and unloading areas.
