SDG1000

Why choose the SDG1000 High-Speed Spiral Doors?

High-speed operation

With opening speeds of up to 1.1m/s, the SDG1000 allows vehicles, equipment and personnel to move quickly through the doorway.

This can help improve traffic flow and reduce waiting times in busy working environments.

Insulated 40mm panels

The SDG1000 uses 40mm insulated door panels, helping to reduce heat transfer through the opening.

This can be particularly useful in buildings where temperature control and energy efficiency are important considerations.

Space-saving spiral design

The spiral opening system stores the door panels above the opening, providing an efficient solution where available space is limited.

The required headroom and side room will depend on the size and configuration of the door, so SDG can assess the opening as part of the site survey.

Durable construction

The SDG1000 is designed for demanding commercial and industrial environments and frequent operation.

Its robust construction provides a reliable solution for busy access points, while the spiral system avoids the need for a traditional roller shutter barrel.

Smooth operation

The controlled movement of the door panels provides smooth opening and closing, helping to minimise operational noise and wear.

Optional vision sections

Vision sections can be incorporated where improved visibility and natural light are required, helping drivers and pedestrians see approaching traffic before passing through the doorway.

Frequently Asked Questions About SDG1000 High-Speed Spiral Doors

What is a spiral door?

Unlike a conventional roller shutter, where the curtain or slats roll around a barrel above the opening, a spiral door uses a guided track system to move the door vertically before storing the individual panels in a spiral above the doorway.

This means the door does not need to be rolled tightly around a traditional barrel. The design allows the SDG1000 to operate quickly while providing the strength and insulation associated with rigid door panels.

The spiral system also provides smooth opening and closing and can help make efficient use of the space above the doorway.

What is the difference between a spiral door and a roller shutter?

A conventional roller shutter normally rolls its curtain or slats around a barrel above the doorway. A spiral door uses a guided track to move rigid panels into a spiral, allowing the door to operate at high speed while retaining the strength and insulation of rigid panels.

Is the SDG1000 suitable for external use?

Yes. The SDG1000 can be used for external openings, subject to the size, location and requirements of the installation. SDG can advise on the most suitable configuration.

Can the SDG1000 replace an existing industrial door?

In many cases, yes. The SDG1000 can be considered where an existing door needs replacing and faster operation, improved insulation or a more space-efficient solution is required.

How long do the SDG1000 doors last?

With regular maintenance, SDG1000 high-speed spiral doors are built to last for many years. At SDG, we offer servicing and maintenance to help prolong the lifespan of your SDG1000.
