Cold Room High Speed Doors

Cold room high speed doors are part of our wider high speed door range, designed for environments where temperature control is critical.

Cold room high speed doors are specifically designed for environments where temperature control is critical. Whether operating in chilled, frozen or food preparation areas, these doors provide a reliable solution for maintaining stable conditions while supporting fast-paced operations.

By combining rapid opening speeds, insulated curtain design and integrated heating systems, cold room high speed doors help reduce energy loss, improve hygiene and ensure consistent performance in demanding environments. See examples of our completed projects.

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.
