8 benefits of high speed rapid roll doors
So these doors are fast. But why should you pick industrial high speed roll up doors over the other industrial doors available?
Here are five key benefits you can expect when you install a rapid roll up door.
1. Temperature control
If your line of work means you need to control the interior temperature of your warehouse, high speed rapid roll doors are a great solution. Because they open and close so quickly, your temperature controlled environment is less affected by the comings and goings of your team.
2. Energy efficiency
Even if you don’t need to maintain your warehouse at a specific temperature, the speed of a rapid roll up door means that it is very energy efficient. It prevents cold air from getting in and warm air from getting out. This can make a real difference to your energy bills.
3. An effective barrier
Another benefit of super-fast opening and closing speeds? It’s much harder for outside dust and debris to make its way into your warehouse. And for interior air and noise pollution to escape. Ideal if contamination or environmental pollution are big potential problems for your business.
4. Optimised traffic flow
In high traffic environments, industrial high speed roll up doors can make a real difference to your team’s productivity levels. Your staff spend a lot less time waiting for doors to open and close – and they can move between spaces with ease.
5. A better employee experience
High speed rapid roll doors are safe and user friendly. Employees can simply press a button to open and close the door – no heavy lifting required. Alternatively, you can get rapid roll doors that operate automatically, thanks to infrared sensors or radio frequency transmitters. This makes life really easy for your team.
6. Low maintenance
Rapid roll up doors are known for their strength and durability. Once they’re installed, they’re unlikely to need much in the way of maintenance. As long as you book a regular industrial door service, you should never experience any downtime as the result of failed door mechanisms.
7. Security
Top-notch security is another key benefit of industrial high speed roll up doors. They open and close so quickly that it becomes very difficult for an unauthorised person to gain access to your building. A rapid roll up door is also very strong. So when it’s closed overnight, it provides an exceptional defence against break-ins.
8. Profitability
High speed rapid roll doors help you to run your business more efficiently. People and goods can move around quickly. There are fewer bottlenecks. And you speed up your operations. This all serves to make your business more effective and more profitable.
Alternatives to a rapid roll up door
So we’ve looked at all the benefits of high speed rapid roll doors. But if you’re still not sure that these are the right doors for your business, there are other options available.
Here are a couple of equally speedy industrial door alternatives:
Rapid fold high speed doors
Rapid fold high speed doors fold rather than roll. As a result they require a little more headroom than rolling doors. These doors are the ideal option when you need a fast door for a large external opening. They also stand up well against high winds.
Rapid repair high speed doors
Rapid repair high speed doors are collision-proof. If a vehicle comes into contact with the fabric surface of the door, a high speed mechanism quickly returns the curtain to its original, sealed position.
