Klimate Provides Fire Doors and High
Speed Doors to a Major Producer of

K
limate High Speed Doors
have been installing their
UK made range of high
speed, rapid roll doors now
for over 20 years. In that time they
have installed them in a wide variety
of places from car production plants
and food process lines to highways
salt stores and even underground. The
latest batch of installations took place
at SCA in Skelmersdale, Lancashire.
SCA approached Klimate with a
number of problems that they wanted
to get around. Due to a reassignment
of the factory it was required for extra
walls to be built including rapid roll
doors and fire roller shutter doors. As
Klimate and their parent company BID
Group have been working on this site
and other SCA sites around the country
for many years it was natural that they
would be considered for the work.
Ian Smith, Project Engineer says that
Klimate were chosen to supply the
doors on this occasion as they were
already present on site and are known
for their excellent service. “Most high
speed doors act in similar ways but
the reliability of the Klimate doors
coupled with the response time offered
by the company made the choice a
very easy one. The fact that they are
very competitively priced is an added
bonus”.

the effectiveness of this system the
company are now considering rolling
out this system across the site and
perhaps the business.
In total this project included 5 Rapid
Roll Doors and 5 Fire Roller Shutter
Doors with 3 of each already being
installed and a further 2 due over the
next couple of weeks/months as the
project progresses.

caused many near misses between
foot traffic and passing fork lift trucks.
However, due to their many years
experience within the door market
Klimate were able to work with the
client and other contractors on site
to incorporate their door with a
pedestrian crossing system so when
