Fast action doors or also known as high speed doors are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings such as factories. These doors are specifically designed and manufactured for busy industrial environments, and can work in a variety of ways, such as a manual up and down button. However most commonly a fast action door will work with a motion sensor. This enables forklift and other operations to be conducted seamlessly. This style of door is more in demand than ever, as another advantage of its operation is to reduce heat loss. The unique design of the fast opening and closing of these doors means that heat can be retained in buildings, whilst still maintaining busy activities with any outside operations, such as the loading / unloading of vehicles. Another way that fast action doors are used, is to separate two different temperature zones. Seen quite often in food processing, extra insulation is often incorporated into the design.
Fast Action doors are available in a wide variety of styles. These door are often constructed in more lightweight materials as they are normally internal doors, where the emphasise is on performance rather than security. Commercial Door Services can supply the door sin any colour way, and often incorporate a transparent viewing panel in the middle of any door.
