Three ideal models of high-speed doors for car washes

Car washes are unique facilities equipped with automated machinery that works with water and detergents at considerable temperatures and pressures. During peak times, the flow of vehicles inside can be intense, and the accesses must facilitate this traffic while also meeting a series of demanding requirements, particularly in urban environments. Ferroflex has several models of high-speed doors whose functionality makes them ideal for this type of facility.

The main function of high-speed doors in car washes is to ensure the safety of both individuals and facilities, preventing unauthorised access or improper handling of machinery. Additionally, in urban environments where noise can be a disturbance, these doors must provide effective sound insulation to improve the quality of life. In this context, Ferroflex high-speed doors combine fast opening and closing speeds while incorporating features that promote safety and reduce noise. They also facilitate the division of spaces and ensure smooth operation at all times.

High-speed doors that combine safety and acoustic comfort

The following three models are the most commonly used in car washes:

Stackable high-speed door. An ideal solution for exterior accesses in general, it adapts to large openings and offers high opening and closing speeds, which together facilitate heavy vehicle traffic. Its curtain integrates a series of crossbars for reinforcement, giving it Class 2 wind resistance and high insulation capacity.
High-speed self-repairing door. Suitable for small access points or those with high traffic. This model can repair itself after a minor collision, for example, when a car enters a car wash. Upon impact, the curtain comes off the guides without offering resistance to the passage of the vehicle. When rolled up, the curtain reinserts in the guides thanks to a lateral rail system, restoring its original functionality. This reduces impact damage to both the door and the vehicle, avoiding interruptions in the washing chain.
Reinforced aluminium high-speed roll-up door. Its anodised aluminium structure offers high resistance to humidity and a high-quality finish. Its elegant design makes it an ideal solution for installations where aesthetics are also important.

Each car wash tunnel requires a specific configuration, which is why we offer a wide variety of finishes and colours. The curtains can be screen printed with logos or signage, and windows of various sizes can be added to facilitate visibility through the door. This customisation allows our three models to be integrate seamlessly with our business's image. Additionally, all models can be complemented with accessories to adapt the door types to the operations of each tunnel. Examples of these include mechanisms that reinforce the safety of both people and vehicles, as well as sensors and UPS systems.
