Insulated roller doors are built to protect against draughts and noise, making them ideal for premises which are temperature controlled, such as factories, warehouses, commercial shop frontages and any industries working with products that must be kept chilled such as food or medicinal products.
They’re also a great option for businesses that are looking to reduce noise in busy premises that produce lots of loud sounds, such as in industries that use noisy machinery like factories and workshops as insulated doors offer excellent sound proofing properties.
Fire Roller Shutter Doors
What are Fire Roller Shutter Doors?
Fire roller shutter doors are designed with all of the same benefits of regular roller shutter doors with the added high level of protection against the spread of fire.
At BID Group, all of our fire doors offer up to a four-hour delay on the escalation spread of fire, allowing you to rest easy knowing your premises and staff are well protected should an incident or accident involving fire ever occur.
Activated by the fire alarm, the motor disengages, allowing the door to close under controlled descent. Once the fire signal stops, the solenoid will automatically reset and the doors return to an open position.

- High levels of security
- Up to 4 hours fire rated
- 2 Available openings up to 7m

What are Fire Roller Shutter Doors Most Suitable For?
Fire roller shutter doors are an ideal solution for industrial and commercial buildings where the risk and possibility of fire is increased, such as in factories and warehouses with lots of machinery and flammable materials.
This means that if a fire does break out, only one part of the building will be affected, reducing the risk of further damage.
