Are folding doors energy efficient?

Folding doors effectively reduce heat loss and improve indoor temperature regulation, creating a more comfortable environment year-round. By preventing drafts and maintaining climate control, they contribute to lower heating and cooling expenses, making them a smart investment for energy-conscious businesses.

Additionally, some models come with advanced weather-sealed edges to further enhance thermal efficiency. These features not only improve energy savings but also enhance overall building sustainability, ensuring long-term benefits for both businesses and the environment.

What are the benefits of having folding doors installed for industrial and commercial use?

Space Optimisation

Folding doors slide and fold neatly to the side, maximising available space. Unlike traditional doors, they don’t require extra clearance, making them ideal for areas with limited space while still allowing full width-access.

Improved Accessibility

Folding doors allow for large, unobstructed openings, making it easier for machinery, vehicles, and personnel to move in and out. This is particularly beneficial for warehouses and manufacturing facilities where quick access is essential.

Enhanced Security

Many industrial folding doors are constructed from strong materials like reinforced steel, aluminium, or toughened glass, providing high levels of security. Some models also feature multi-point locking systems, impact resistant panels, and automated security features to prevent unauthorised access.

Versatility

Available in various materials, sizes and designs, bi-folding doors can be tailored to fit various industrial and commercial applications. Whether used for warehouses, aircraft hangers, showrooms, fire stations, or factories, they offer flexibility in design, colour, and operation (manual or automated) to meet specific needs.

Are SDG’s folding doors covered by a warranty?

Yes, every folded door we install comes with a 12-month warranty. Pleas refer to the terms and conditions for further details.

Do folding doors require regular servicing?

Yes, folding doors in the UK require regular servicing to ensure compliance with legal regulations (such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998), maintain manufacturer warranties, prevent costly breakdowns, uphold safety standards, and meet insurance requirements.

At SDG, we provide complete service and maintenance plans, ensuring the continued efficiency of your folding doors.
