Your Industrial Door Dictionary
Slough has busy shops, homes and units, so we meet all kinds of buyers. So, here are the words you hear most when you ask about industrial roller shutter doors in Slough, grouped by topic.
Parts of Your Industrial Shutter
First, learn the parts:
- Curtain: the moving part that covers the opening
- Lath or slat: one strip of the curtain
- Guide rails: the side tracks that keep the curtain straight
- Barrel: the tube at the top that the curtain rolls around
- Hood: the cover that protects the barrel and motor
- Bottom bar: the heavy strip at the base
If you need an industrial roller shutter door installation, repair or maintenance, then give us a call. Our highly experienced and qualified engineers are always ready to assist you.
How It Moves
Next, learn how the shutter moves:
- Chain drive: a heavy-duty chain system that moves the curtain smoothly. Our Industrial Chain Drive Single Skin shutter uses it for large openings like factories, warehouses and loading bays.
- Tube motor: a small motor that sits inside the barrel, saves space and runs quietly
- Manual override: a way to open the shutter by hand when power fails
- Remote or auto-close: open the shutter from far away, or set it to close by itself at dusk
Light and View
Then, learn the words for light and view:
- Single skin: one layer of metal, strong and simple
- Double skin: two layers with foam between them. Our home shutters use foam-filled aluminium slats to cut heat and noise.
- Open design: gaps in the curtain that let light and air through. Our tube operated shutters have up to 75% open design.
- Insulated: stops heat leaving and noise coming in
Safety
Besides, safety words matter:
- Safety edge: a strip that stops the shutter if something is in the way
- Photoelectric sensor: a light beam that spots a person or object in the doorway
- Anti-fall device: stops the curtain from dropping if a part breaks
- Fire rated: a shutter that closes by itself in smoke or heat and slows flames and smoke
Extra Words Buyers Ask About
- Cycle: one full open and close
- Gauge: the thickness of metal, where a lower number means thicker metal
- Powder coating: a tough colour finish on the metal
- Multipoint lock: a lock that grips the door in several places
- RAL: a colour code that helps you match your brand
For Your Home: Domestic Roller Shutters
Domestic roller shutters lock from the inside, so they are hard to force. Also, they block all light for full privacy, which suits bedrooms and bathrooms. Moreover, double-skin foam-filled aluminium slats cut heat and noise. You choose manual or automatic, and automatic shutters close by themselves at dusk.
For Your Shop: Tube Operated Shutters
Tube operated shutters have up to 75% open design, so light and air flow while your shop stays protected. As a result, passers-by still see your goods after closing time. They suit shops, malls and bars, and we customise them to your brand.
For Your Unit: Industrial Chain Drive Single Skin Shutters
Wide openings need a tough door. Therefore, our Industrial Chain Drive Single Skin shutter uses strong steel laths and a heavy-duty chain system. It is durable, low-maintenance and customisable, so it fits factories, warehouses and loading bays.
