Questions about high-speed roller doors in Stornoway
Why use a high-speed door instead of a roller shutter?
Where a door opens many times an hour, a fast door is only open while traffic passes, which saves energy and keeps areas separate.
Can high-speed doors be used outside?
Yes, with wind-rated construction for the exposure of the opening.
Do you cover Stornoway?
Yes, by arrangement. Stornoway is an island town, so visits are planned ahead around the crossing, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
Do I need permission for high-speed roller doors in Stornoway?
It depends on the property. New doors on industrial buildings can need planning permission if they change the elevation, and doors in fire compartment walls must suit the fire strategy. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
