WHAT ARE HIGH SPEED DOORS?

1. High-speed doors are specialized doors designed to open and close rapidly, improving workflow efficiency, high traffic entry ways and maintaining environmental controls.

2. High speed doors are also known as high performance doors, rapid rise doors, rapid roll doors, fast acting doors, energy efficient doors, col storage doors and industrial pvc doors.

3. Unlike traditional doors, these operate at significantly higher speeds, reducing the time they remain open and thereby minimizing energy loss - a critical feature for controlled environments like clean rooms.

4. However, speed is not their only benefit. These doors are equipped with advanced safety features and are built to be durable, capable of withstanding the harsh conditions typical of industrial use.

5. AUTO MOSSA High Speed doors are meticulously designed to be enduring of the harsh industrial conditions and; to be easily repairable to save our customers down time and costs of replacement. Check out our product profile on ArchiPro.
