Selecting the right door for your business can be a difficult decision, particularly when there is a wide range of options available on the market. However, for many companies, making the right choice and deciding upon an industrial door can be vital for improving the security and efficiency of your premises. If you are interested in fitting the right door for your organisation, read our advice below on the five ways you could benefit from industrial doors. 

 

Most industrial environments rely on speedy and efficient employees, and if they have to spend a significant amount of time waiting for doors to open and close and navigate the ensuing buildup of footfall in an area, then workers become less productive. We are aware of the challenges that face businesses with large numbers of staff, which is why we recommend an industrial door for any organisation where worker speed is a priority. 

 

High quality industrial doors typically are constructed with speed in mind. This is to make sure that staff can travel around factories or warehouses without interruption. Here at Zenith Doors, we offer automatic industrial doors with the option of improving the speed of your workforce further. If you need a fast door for your work, we strongly recommend investing in an industrial door. 

 

Industrial doors can be easily maintained and last for a long time. Particularly if you maintain your door correctly – read about how in our article on the benefits of industrial door maintenance – it can last for many decades of intensive use before needing any repairs or replacements. 

 

Our industrial lath roller shutters, for example, are typically used extensively in warehouses, industrial units, workshop booths, bus depots, and more. They are specifically designed so that they are mostly maintenance free, with repair being quick and easy thanks to their unique twin-skinned design. Their robust construction, like the rest of our doors, means we can offer a high-quality product at a low price. 

 

A fire can be one of the most catastrophic risks to a business, especially in an industrial warehouse or storage unit. While sprinklers and fire alarms are necessary precautions to protect your property, opting in for an industrial door can be vital to containing a fire further. 

 

Most industrial doors are engineered to withstand damage from any fire. They are, after all, typically a last line of defence in case of an accidental outbreak and can seal off one aflame room from others. They are also capable of opening and closing quickly, giving people the chance to escape underneath the door without clogging up workflow if people are trying to evacuate the building. 

 

Industrial doors are wonderful when you have an area of your warehouse or storeroom that must remain chilled. Particularly if it experiences heavy traffic, if the door takes a long time to open and close, then the insulation of the colder room is compromised. By contrast, industrial doors move much more quickly, and roller shutters, in particular, do not generate a draft when operating. This means they are much better at preserving the insulation of the room, even when the door is half-open! 

 

Likewise, industrial doors have excellent insulation properties and maintain the temperature of a room with ease. While the size of the building will determine the actual number, industrial doors can reduce the energy bill of a property by up to 20%, saving you money and maintaining a room’s temperature for your business. 

 

Noise pollution is on the rise, and this is as true for places of work as it is for residential areas. Hearing the conversations of people walking by or the sound of traffic on a busy road can severely hamper your work. Industrial doors are superb at shutting out that outside noise and keeping things quiet where you operate, improving your efficiency and the general atmosphere of the work environment. 

 

At the same time, well-built industrial doors can be a great solution to keeping your workplace private. An industrial door provides extra security, is made from thick solid material and comes with more secure locks than other options on the market. Our steel acoustic doors, for example, come with three-point locks and panic bars as standard. This reduces the risk of break-in, keeping your property secure from theft.
