High-speed sliding door installation can be an incredibly useful addition for a business in both commercial and industrial settings, improving numerous aspects of how a company functions. In Europe and the UK, high-speed commercial sliding doors usually operate at around 50cm a second and have evolved from the traditional roller shutter door, designed to function with greater speed and durability, as well as improved sealing. To achieve this high-speed sliding doors have a strengthened drivetrain, a strong but lightweight PVC curtain, and a special industrial motor. Read on to find out the multiple benefits of high-speed sliding door installation and how Thoroughbred Industrial Doors can help.



Safety

High-speed sliding doors can drastically improve a business’ security measures and as they are only open for a limited amount of time, you get increased control over who can enter the commercial property. Made out of sturdy materials which are difficult to break into, high-speed industrial doors are excellent at protecting a business’ goods and employees from outside danger, especially if the materials your business handles are lucrative.


Efficiency

As high-speed industrial doors open so quickly, they can drastically improve a business's productivity by saving valuable time every day. Whilst it might only seem like a small amount of time initially, over a longer period, your business will have saved a crucial amount of time. By extension of this, employees will have higher productivity in a more efficient and effective workflow, resulting in more money for the business.


Contamination

High-speed commercial or industrial doors are also effective at preventing dust, dirt, or any other pollutants from entering the premises due to the doors’ quick operation. This is useful if your business has areas which are sensitive or need to be environmentally controlled, something especially common in industrial properties.


Maintenance

Hygiene is a top priority in industrial and commercial settings, and having doors which are easy to clean is crucial to maintaining this. High-speed doors are designed to withstand the strong use of cleaning agents, with the door's operative quality unaffected by the cleaning regulations imposed on a business.


Energy

With its powerful industrial motor and drivetrain, you might not expect high-speed sliding doors to be energy efficient. However, with their high-speed operation, the amount of time the door is open or ajar is severely reduced. This means that the amount of heat or cool air lost is reduced, conserving energy more effectively and keeping energy costs cheap. Not only this, but it maintains employee productivity by keeping them comfortable and undistracted by external weather conditions.
