High-speed doors adapted to the needs of the retail sector

The retail sector includes direct-to-consumer establishments such as supermarkets, department stores, clothing shops, perfumeries, and convenience stores. These spaces combine a commercial area open to the public with internal areas not accessible to customers for storage, order preparation, or internal logistics. Ferroflex offers a wide variety of high-speed doors to adapt the access of these warehouse areas to the particular needs of each business.

Access in these environments must allow a smooth flow of employees and goods, maintain optimal temperature and hygiene conditions (especially in food shops), ensure the safety of people and products, and reduce energy consumption. This is compounded by space constraints, which are common in small shops, and busy times.

High-speed door solutions for every retailer

The high-speed doors offered by Ferroflex are suitable for all types of businesses. Its solutions facilitate the flow without interrupting operational activity, help maintain environmental conditions and improve energy efficiency by sectorising spaces and reducing air conditioning losses, among other advantages.

In retail, the reinforced aluminium high-speed roll-up door and the aluminium door for interior areas are ideal for separating the retail area from the warehouse, as well as for sectoring the latter. For establishments where refrigerated products are sold, such as butchers, greengrocers, or frozen food shops, Ferroflex has specific high-speed doors for storage chambers down to 0 degrees and for cold storage down to -30 degrees, which minimise thermal changes and reduce the energy loss of the premises.

Other solutions recommended for small or busy shops are self-repairing high-speed doors. These are designed to recover their functionality automatically after small collisions due to the passage of goods or trolleys: if the curtain slips out of its lateral guides, a system of rails returns it to its position when it is rolled up, avoiding unnecessary stops and repair costs. These include the EI120 high-speed door with fire curtain. This model combines the functionality of a self-repairing door with safety, as it integrates two panels in the same head: one that performs the function of a standard roll-up door during a normal situation and a fireproof fire curtain that deploys only in case of fire, isolating it for at least 120 minutes. An ideal option for separating the sales area from the warehouse, where flammable materials such as cardboard or textiles are often present, without sacrificing operational agility.

All Ferroflex models can be customised to meet the specific needs of each shop. The doors can be adapted in size and can incorporate accessories to facilitate use and security, such as one or more windows of different sizes, sensors, push-buttons, remote controls, or UPS systems that allow opening in the event of a power failure. Furthermore, in a sector such as retail, where visual identity is key, Ferroflex can customise the colour of the lacquer to adapt the high-speed door to the aesthetics of the premises and apply screen printing with logos or signs on the canvas, integrating the accesses into the aesthetics of the point of sale.
