Crash Doors: Not Just for Hospitals

Now, when you think about Crash Doors, you are probably imagining a team of surgeons running through a hospital, diagnosing a sick patient as they rush through some PVC crash doors into surgery. Yes, crash doors are designed to be crashed through - the clue is in the name - but they can be found in many different types of buildings, not just hospitals. 

There are many industrial situations where you might need to get between two rooms quickly, but a simple gap in the wall isn't practical. In many cases, heat conservation, infection prevention and noise pollution are all factors which indicate that you need some kind of door covering the gap. Obviously, infection prevention only applies to medical institutions, but most other businesses will benefit from a solution which offers a reduction in noise pollution and energy loss.  Crash doors are this solution while still allowing you to get between rooms speedily.

The main benefits of crash doors are:

• Automatic Self Closing - crash doors will automatically close behind the person using them
• Cost-effective temperature control - PVC crash doors can help you to keep temperature controlled zones isolated from the rest of your workplace helping you to keep fuel bills low
• Flow of traffic - People, forklifts and even trolleys can get around your facility without stopping
• Improvement in workplace efficiency - Crash doors enable people and vehicles to move around your building quickly and efficiently without any delays
• Pest Control - Your employees can get around your building easily, while birds and pests can't
• Reduction in pollution - Using crash doors to separate areas within your business can help to reduce dust, fumes and noise pollution.
• Solid Frames - Our PVC crash doors are supplied with solid frames which can withstand repeated use and high impacts
