Why choose the Ardent Standard High Speed Door?

Keep Things Moving

Opening and closing at around 1 metre per second, the Ardent Standard keeps forklifts, vehicles, and staff flowing smoothly. No queues, no wasted minutes, just a faster, more efficient workflow.

Protect Your People and Equipment

Its crash‑resistant safety system detects obstructions instantly, stopping and reversing the door to prevent accidents and avoid costly damage.

Built to Last in the Toughest Conditions

British weather can be unpredictable, but the Ardent Standard is up to the challenge. Its weather‑resistant construction means it performs reliably in wind, rain, or freezing temperatures.

Designed Around Your Business

Every Ardent Standard is made to order, so you get the exact size, material, and colour you need. You can even choose your preferred controls, from push buttons to motion sensors or full integration with your access control system.

Cut Your Energy Costs

Every second that your industrial doors are open contributes to higher energy bills. This is due to the loss of warm or cool air, which can be especially detrimental in temperature controlled facilities.

Fortunately, the Ardent Standard’s rapid cycle time and tight seal help you maintain internal temperatures, even in high‑traffic areas, reducing energy bills without slowing productivity.
