As a business owner, the security of your business, is likely to be one of your biggest concerns. When it comes to implementing effective security measures, high speed doors are the perfect solution. Read on to see how high speed doors can improve your business security and all the other fantastic benefits they have to offer.
What is a High Speed Door?
High speed doors are often used in warehouses and industrial settings, acting as a moving barrier providing high levels of safety and security. They also provide greater control over who has access to your premises, keeping out those who shouldn’t be there. There are a number of different types of high speed doors on the market, with options for internal and external use available and a range of different styles and sizes.
Benefits of High Speed Doors for Your Business
Improved Security
If you’re looking at how to improve your business’ security levels, the first place to look is at the entry points. If you currently have faulty doors that frequently malfunction, or ones that permanently remain open, your premises is more vulnerable to a security breach.
Modern high speed doors give you greater control over who has access to your building, closing quickly once an authorised person or vehicle has passed through, minimising the time the door is open and keeping out those who aren’t authorised to enter. Their robust structure and hardwearing materials also prevent opportunist thieves from breaking in through the doors, improving the security of your goods and keeping your staff safe.
Reduced Pollution and Contamination
High speed doors aren’t just designed to keep people out. They are also incredibly effective at keeping out pollution, dust, and dirt, helping to minimise the risk of contamination which is absolutely essential in highly sensitive and environmentally controlled premises.
Airflow Prevention
Another common issue businesses face with regular doors is their ability to cause airflow when left open for a long time, leading to dust and other airborne debris floating around your premises and potentially contaminating goods. By installing high speed doors with an additional heavy duty PVC door curtain can prevent air currents and limit the spread of dust and debris.
Energy Saving & Temperature Control
Most industrial settings and warehouses have at least one access door for transporting goods in and out of the building. Typically, these doors are quite large in order to allow large lorries to back into the bay for loading and unloading. Whilst these are incredibly effective for handling goods, they aren’t great for energy efficiency. Due to having such a large opening, significant amounts of heat or chilled air in air conditioned buildings will be able to escape, causing the heating and cooling bills to skyrocket.
High speed doors, on the other hand, are incredibly energy efficient. With such a high-speed operation, you can minimise the amount of time the door is open, or partially open, for, reducing the amount of heat or cool air lost, keeping the energy bills down and your staff comfortable.
A heavy duty, robust, Freezer Door is door that is designed to meet the rigorous demand of working in a freezer environment, making it ideal for temperature controlled industries.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
In some industries where hygiene is important, having easy to clean doors is absolutely essential. Fortunately, high speed stainless steel doors with PVC curtains are designed to withstand regular use of strong cleaning agents.
Regularly servicing your equipment to ensure any potential problems are highlighted at an early stage is also vital to prevent unwanted and costly breakdowns, helping you to reduce downtime for your business and keep operations running. Servicing of doors and other equipment is the most beneficial and cost effective measure of ensuring continued safe operation.
Cost Savings
Thanks to the fast opening and closing speeds, high speed doors have the potential to help your business make significant savings through increased productivity, energy efficiency and time saving, making them a worthwhile investment.
