How to save energy & money with our roller shutter & high speed doors
There are many benefits to be gained from switching to our roller shutter or high speed doors. Along with the obvious security and efficiency issues they can also provide lots of economic and environmental benefits. These won't necessarily result in lots of extra money being thrown your way, more so they can be installed as a means to prevent a number of potentially expensive problems occurring. Taking that into account they can be seen as an investment more so than a purchase. Here at Attenborough Doors we can give you a rundown on the number of ways our roller shutters & high speed doors can save you money and retain energy.
Efficiency
Roller shutter doors are quick and simple to operate. Our Vizi-Fast & Vizi-Fold high speed doors open at a speed of 1 metre per second. There are a number of ways these can reduce costs and save energy.
If your business deals with frequent deliveries or even traffic from your own workers, you want to make sure its possible for them to enter and exit your business freely, quickly and efficiently. The last thing you want is your drivers constantly getting in and out of their vehicle because they need to open the gate/door manually, only to repeat the process to close it again. This will waste valuable minutes of your operation every day, which over the year will accumulate.
Security
Our shutters are very secure. If your workers are having to open and close the gates/doors themselves whilst trying to keep up with everyday fast-paced operations all it takes is human error for somebody to forget to close it behind them and present an opportunity for a criminal offence, whether it is theft, graffiti or damage. It may seem unfair however these things happen on a regular basis and quite often end up costing the business vast amounts in either repairs or insurance costs. Even if your employees are extra careful and manoeuvre the gates/doors responsibly, then it is still a possibility you can be broken into at night time with less secure doors. This will be less likely to happen with our roller shutter doors.
Save energy retention
Our high speed doors open and close so quickly this will improve the energy retention of your business. These openings are covering such large spaces, so the longer these are left open the more heat is going to escape, especially during the colder months. As well as saving you money on heating costs this is also beneficial for the environment as you'll be using less energy to reheat the room once the door has been opened.
We supply all types of roller shutters including fully insulated. If you opted for our insulated shutters this would mean the premises will retain heat better once fully closed. Over time the money you save on energy retention can surpass the figure paid for the roller shutter doors in the first place.
Prevent infestation and contamination
As well as keeping in the heat roller shutters can also help keep out other unwanted vermin, birds and insects. This will reduce the likelihood of the premises picking up any form of infestation. If this were to happen not only could this disrupt business operations, it could also cost a lot to resolve the infestation.
Our doors are ideal for numerous settings such as heavy factory and plant production zones, garages, loading bays and despatch areas. They are also perfect for cold stores and food preparation areas. As well as vermin infestation our high speed doors also greatly reduce the risk of contamination, which is especially vital for premises where food is prepared. If the food were to be contaminated it would need to be replaced urgently, which of course negatively affects costs. There would also be the possibility of a customer or employee becoming ill from the contaminated produce, which as well as resulting in operations being disrupted due to hygiene issues, could mean a heavy fine or even closure of the business.
Conclusion
There you have it! There are several ways our roller shutters and high speed doors can help protect you, your business and your wallet, whether its from petty criminals, contamination or simply the cold winter elements. Lots of these potential issues may seem unlikely and a roller shutter or high speed door may sound like an oversimplified solution, however it really can be that easy.
