Industrial Roller Shutter Doors in Chelmsford: Mistakes to Avoid

A new door is a big spend, so you want to get it right the first time. Sadly, many owners only find out about a mistake after the bill arrives. That is where we help. We manufacture Industrial Roller Shutter Doors in Chelmsford in our own workshop, our trained engineers install them, and the same team repairs them for years after. Wherever you are, from Widford to Springfield, Industrial Roller Shutter Doors has you covered. Also, we serve every corner of the UK, not just Essex.

5 Common Industrial Door Mistakes (and the Fix)

Below are the five errors we see most often. Read them first, and then you avoid paying twice.

Mistake 1: Buying an Industrial Shutter With No Security Rating

Often, an insurer asks for a tested door after a break-in. So, pick a shutter with an LPS 1175 rating from the start.

Mistake 2: Skipping the Industrial Shutter Service

Over time, springs, motors and safety edges wear out. Therefore, book a regular check before something snaps.

Mistake 3: Choosing an Industrial Door Colour That Clashes

A shutter that clashes with your building makes the whole site look cheap. Instead, use a powder coat RAL colour that matches your building or brand.

    Mistake 4: Guarding the Industrial Door but Not the Windows

    Usually, thieves go for the weak spot. In many cases, that is a window, not the main door.

    Mistake 5: Fitting a Weak Motor on a Busy Industrial Shutter

    Basically, a small motor on a busy loading bay burns out fast. A direct drive shutter handles heavy daily use much better.

    Industrial Shutter Security Grades From SR1 to SR5

    Our security shutters come in steel and aluminium, with manual or electric opening. Here is how the grades work:

    • SR1 – stops casual break-ins at garages and small units
    • SR2 – a common insurance-approved choice for shops and storefronts
    • SR3 – for banks, utility buildings and high-value sites
    • SR4 – for industrial sites and key buildings that face hard attacks
    • SR5 – the top grade, for data centres and government sites, and it even resists skilled attackers with battery power tools

    Built-In Safety on Every Roller Shutter

    • Safety edges and photoelectric sensors that stop the door if something is in the way
    • Anti-fall devices that hold the curtain if a part fails
    • A manual override for power cuts

    Every door is different, so the right service gap depends on how often you open it. In short:

    New Industrial Door Colours and Finishes

    Now, your new shutter does not have to look plain. We powder coat galvanised steel in popular RAL colours:

    • RAL 9016 – traffic white
    • RAL 9006 – white aluminium (silver)
    • RAL 9005 – jet black
    • RAL 7016 – anthracite grey
    • RAL 8017 – chocolate brown

    Besides this, wood-effect finishes suit offices and shopfronts that want a warmer look. Bottom seals and brush strips also keep out wind, rain and dust.

    Direct Drive Single Skin Industrial Shutters for Busy Bays

    For warehouses and factories, the direct drive single skin shutter is a strong pick. It uses tough steel laths and a powerful direct drive motor, so it copes with frequent use at high-traffic loading bays.

    Window Roller Shutters for Chelmsford Shops, Offices and Homes

    Next, protect the glass too. Our window roller shutters come in electric and manual versions, and we make them to measure in custom sizes and colours. Thanks to our own workshop, we usually fit them within 3–5 days. They also:

    • Keep out burglars and prying eyes
    • Hold heat in and cut road noise
    • Protect glass from storms

    For homes, we also make domestic shutters with double-skin foam-filled aluminium slats. You can set them to close by themselves at dusk.
