Cold Rooms & High-Speed Solutions for Temperature Control
Cold room environments are one of the most energy-intensive areas within any industrial facility. Poorly specified doors can lead to rapid temperature loss, increased refrigeration load, and rising operating costs.
To help visualise the different options and understand how door performance impacts efficiency, you can view our Cold Room Door Solutions Guide, which clearly sets out the available door types, common performance issues, and the potential energy savings.
We supply and install cold room door solutions designed to:
-
Maintain stable internal temperatures
-
Reduce energy loss at access points
-
Improve workflow in high-traffic environments
-
Deliver reliable performance in demanding conditions
Temperature Control & Energy Efficiency
Cold room high speed doors are engineered to maintain precise internal temperatures, even in high-traffic areas.
Their thick 900g/m² twin-skin curtain provides an effective thermal barrier, allowing temperatures to be maintained between +70°C and -30°C. This makes them ideal for both chilled and frozen environments.
The fast opening and closing cycle significantly reduces the amount of air exchanged between areas, helping to:
-
Maintain consistent internal temperatures
-
Reduce strain on refrigeration systems
-
Improve overall energy efficiency
For a broader overview of how rapid doors reduce heat loss, see our guide to high speed doors and energy efficiency.
Reduced Energy Costs
Minimising temperature loss has a direct impact on operating costs.
Because cold room high speed doors open and close so quickly, they limit the escape of conditioned air and reduce the workload on cooling systems.
This results in:
-
Lower energy consumption
-
Reduced running costs
-
Improved environmental performance
Over time, these savings can be significant—particularly in facilities with frequent door cycles.
Integrated Heating System
A key feature of cold room high speed doors is their integrated heating system, designed to ensure reliable operation in low-temperature environments. Unlike standard high speed doors, the heating system is built within the curtain itself — ensuring consistent performance in freezing environments. See our internal high speed doors for comparison.
This system:
-
Prevents ice build-up on critical components
-
Maintains smooth operation in freezing conditions
-
Supports consistent sealing performance
-
This is particularly important in freezer environments where ice formation can quickly affect standard doors.
Speed & Performance
Cold room high speed doors are built for demanding, high-traffic environments.
With opening speeds of up to 1.5m per second and closing speeds of 0.8m per second, they:
-
Reduce waiting times at door openings
-
Improve workflow efficiency
-
Limit exposure between temperature zones
The result is a smoother, more productive operation—especially in logistics and food handling environments.
Sealing & Hygiene
Maintaining hygiene standards is essential in cold storage and food environments.
Cold room high speed doors are designed to provide effective sealing, helping to:
-
Reduce contamination between zones
-
Limit the ingress of dust and airborne particles
-
Support clean, controlled working environments
-
This makes them particularly suitable for:
-
Food production facilities
-
Clean storage areas
-
Temperature-controlled logistics
Safety Features
Safety is integral to the design of internal high speed doors. Standard features typically include:
-
Safety photo cells to detect obstructions
-
Low-level safety edge protection
-
Optional vision panels to improve visibility through openings
These features reduce the risk of accidents while supporting smooth and uninterrupted operation.
Operation & Reliability
Internal high speed doors operate using a vertical roll-up system supported by a self-contained frame, allowing for straightforward installation within existing openings.
A key benefit is the self-reinserting curtain system, which allows the door to reset automatically if displaced by impact. This significantly reduces downtime and avoids costly repairs.
For larger or more insulated openings, you may also consider our High Speed Insulated Roller Shutters.
Typical Applications
Cold room high speed doors are ideal for:
-
Cold storage facilities
-
Freezer rooms
-
Food processing and preparation areas
-
Supermarkets and distribution centres
-
Pharmaceutical and temperature-controlled environments
