Industrial Doors in Swansea: An Overview
‘Industrial doors’ are a category of hardwearing and high-security doors ranging from heavy-duty steel roller doors in commercial settings such as warehouses and shop entrances to high-performance domestic garage doors. Industrial doors can withstand harsher conditions and provide more security compared to a standard door. They are particularly useful in commercial or industrial environments, due to their multiple useful features, such as providing security, thermal insulation, and ease of use. They are commonly found on buildings such as manufacturing depots, warehouses, factories, fire stations and storage facilities, amongst other applications.
Industrial doors are an important commodity for businesses in Swansea. Benefits such as providing high levels of security and safety mean that they have become extremely popular and increasingly utilised in industrial, commercial and retail sectors across the city, Port Talbot and the rest of South Wales. Having an industrial door fitted at your business protects not only your property but the assets and occupants within.
There are many types of industrial doors, both commercial and residential, with Harlech Industrial Doors manufacturing and installing a wide range of options. Types of industrial doors can vary in terms of material, durability, level of security, ease of use and even aesthetics, with several types being customisable in terms of colour and finish options.

Types of Industrial Door
Aluminium Roller Shutters
Our team at Harlech Industrial Doors takes pride in supplying the highest quality aluminium roller shutters. Our industrial roller shutter doors are designed with high levels of durability and security in mind. Harlech’s aluminium roller shutters are also designed with thermal insulation in mind, therefore not only protecting from the outside elements and adverse weather we often get in Swansea, South Wales but also increasing your premises’ energy efficiency.

Made with galvanised materials and featuring foam-filled aluminium laths ranging from 39mm to 77mm, these securely interlock and possess endlocks to prevent any movement laterally.

Fire Curtains
A fire curtain is a proactive apparatus used to contain fire and smoke in the instance a blaze breaks out in your business or premises. They are made from high-quality products with heat-resistant properties such as fibreglass and aramid. They are designed to descend from the ceiling area automatically in response to a fire alarm sensor.
At Harlech, our fire curtains are designed for an array of different settings such as manufacturing plants, commercial businesses, educational institutions, retail spaces, and residential properties, and are most commonly found in open-plan spaces. Fire curtains undergo meticulous testing to ensure that they meet building regulations, fire safety standards, and health and safety legislation, resulting in a highly effective and cost-effective element of passive fire protection. All of our fire curtains work quickly and effectively: they initially stay retracted to allow all occupants to safely evacuate, then swiftly and smoothly descend using our advanced DC motor and control panel to create an impenetrable barrier to smoke and fire spread. Once the fire risk has passed and the fire alarm has been reset, the curtains will retract back to their original position, needing no manual fixing or re-installation.
In terms of options, you can choose from our Neco 240+ or Neco 90 models; both possess a Class 1 surface spread of flame rating, compliant with BS8524 and BS EN 1624-1:2014 + A1:2018 standard of fire protection and smoke control. We can also customise the headbox dimensions, supplying not only the standard 200x200mm size but also 160x160mm, 180x180mm and 220x220mm, resulting in a perfect fit to your space and increasing the fire curtain’s protective abilities.
Fire Rated Roller Shutters
Elevate your Swansea property’s fire protection protocol whilst combining maximum security with our fire rated industrial roller shutter door options at Harlech Industrial Doors. Being suitable for both the exterior and interior of your industrial or commercial premises, fire-rated roller shutters help in containing flames and smoke should a fire break out, and also play a significant role in managing safe escape routes for you and your employees. Our fire-rated industrial roller shutter options work to contain the outbreak of fire with a 4-hour fire rating, reducing the risk of extensive damage to your property and business.
Harlech’s fire rated shutter options include both single-skinned and double-skinned insulated curtains, each having its advanced mechanisms. DC motors, customisable drop delays and battery backed-up control panels, alongside our expert and precise installation, make for a seamless, safe and effective apparatus. These elements make them a perfect addition to industrial or commercial settings such as factories, warehouses, hospitals and schools, protecting both the building’s premises and the occupants within.
Harlech Industrial Doors’ team are committed to fire safety in Swansea and engages the services of a global leader in fire safety management, Warrington Fire (Element) to undertake rigorous and stringent testing of our manufactured roller shutters. Compliant with BBS1634-1 and BS476 Part 22:1987, our fire rated industrial roller shutter options are the epitome of fire-safe security shutters.
Fire Rated Steel Hinged Doors
Another option for maximum fire safety and compliance is Harlech’s fire rated steel hinged doors, which are perfect for a wide range of settings from industrial buildings to educational institutions. We manufacture our steel hinged doors from corrosion-resistant 45mm thick, 1.2mm magnelis steel which boasts a low U-value for enhanced insulation as well as providing optimal security levels. They have a core Rockwool or Insulfrax and are double-skinned with interlocking seams reinforced with integral stiffeners.
Harlech’s fire rated steel hinged doors are an aesthetic option for an industrial door, meaning that they do not look out of place in customer-facing locations such as hospitals, warehouses and schools. They can come as either single or double leaf doors, and undergo the same rigorous fire safety testing by Warrington Fire (Element) as our fire rated roller shutters do.
Offering the ultimate fire protection, our fire rated steel hinged doors provide up to four hours of fire resistance and surpass FD30, FD60, FD120 and FD240 standards, ensuring your industrial or commercial premises and occupants are safeguarded against the risk of fire.

Insulated Roller Shutters
Harlech’s bespoke insulated roller shutters can elevate your property’s security and energy efficiency. Specially designed for commercial and industrial settings such as warehouses, loading bays and manufacturing plants, insulated roller shutters offer enhanced thermal insulation to optimise your premises’ energy efficiency by reducing heat loss, whilst also offering sound reduction.
Our insulated roller shutter doors are engineered to have a double-skinned but lightweight insulated core with a variety of end locks and channel guides, enabling them to withstand adverse weather conditions and maintain the optimal temperature within. They are tested up to Grade 5 for wind load and wind resistance, therefore being suitable for locations with regular adverse weather such as ports and airports.
Rapid Action, High Speed Doors
Rapid action doors, also known as high speed doors, are barrier doors engineered to manage traffic flow, allowing for smooth and seamless movement from one area to the next with their incredibly fast operation technology.
Ensuring ultimate convenience, rapid action doors possess automatic control, resulting in drivers being able to remain in their vehicles instead of disembarking in order to open the doors; this creates both time and energy efficiency.
At Harlech Industrial Doors in Swansea, we produce rapid action doors from galvanised materials, ensuring the utmost functionality and durability, which can possess either roll-up or fold-up mechanisms.
Sectional Overhead Doors
Sectional overhead doors feature panels that are expertly interconnected with hinges and sit on wheels within a track system, allowing them to smoothly transition from vertical when closed to an overhead horizontal position when opened.
At Harlech Industrial Doors, the panels of our sectional doors are made from a 40mm thick insulated composite – a rigid polyurethane core surrounded by 0.5mm hot-dipped galvanised steel on either side. This not only offers impressive thermal insulation but offers sound reduction properties, ensuring a temperature-regulated and quieter environment.
Sectional doors have a wide range of uses in Swansea and can be used in industrial settings, commercial settings and even residential properties, being commonly found on the entrances to loading bays and as garage doors. Our team take your individual requirements, offering customisable options such as a wide colour selection, mechanism options such as manual or electric operation and even the choice of vision panels.
Security Rated Steel Hinged Doors
Our security rated steel hinged doors are the epitome of industrial security. Attaining LPS1175 Issue 8 and PAS24 certifications from BRE Global, our secure steel hinged exterior door options are custom-made from magnelis steel and fitted with sashlock kits and 3-star cylinders, providing fortress levels of protection against criminal intent.
Harlech’s steel hinged security doors are available in single and double-leaf options and possess both Assa Abloy and Exidor locking mechanisms for the utmost security and peace of mind. Offering the utmost resilience against break-in attempts, our security rated steel hinged doors undergo stringent testing through Element and are compliant with the standards of STS201, PAS24, BS6375-1 and BS6375-2&3.

Security Rated Steel Roller Shutters

Rigorously tested by third parties such as Element and BRE Global to ensure that they are the ultimate barrier protection against forced entry and unauthorised access to your building or property.
A common choice among Swansea business owners, our LPS1175 Issue 7 roller shutters can be custom-sized, from compact 1m x 1m all the way up to large 10m x 10m. Depending on the level of protection your property requires, you can choose from SR1 up to SR4 ratings; Harlech’s SR1 and SR2 rated roller shutters are manufactured to have a single-skinned, thicker coil design resulting in a high level of security, whereas our SR3 and SR4 models offer next level protection with a double-skinned, anti-nut core.
Our specialist and expert engineering ensures that your business has fortress-levels of protection and security, thwarting all aspects of criminality such as intrusions and theft.
Steel Hinged Doors
Our team at Harlech Industrial Doors specialises in the manufacture of bespoke steel hinged doors. Suitable for a wide range of applications – industrial, commercial and domestic alike – they are 45mm in thickness, produced from 1.2mm magnelis steel and can come in single or double-door form.
Steel hinged doors are popular in high-traffic areas due to their extreme durability, making them ideal for a range of purposes; common requests from Harlech’s Swansea customers are for the manufacturing of steel hinged garage doors, as well as steel hinged garage door installations.
Not only useful for their durability, Harlech’s steel hinged doors can amalgamate with any locking system to allow for optimal security. Features such as anti-jemmy bolts and high-security locking systems thwart intrusion and theft attempts, whilst the door’s steel materials allow for increased energy efficiency, contributing to reduced heating costs for the business.
Along with the majority of Harlech’s other industrial door products, our steel hinged doors can be customised with our RAL and BS spectrum colours in our in-house specialist powder-coating department. This allows us to provide you with the perfect blend of security, energy efficiency and pleasing aesthetics for your home or business.

Our team at Harlech also offer customisation, not just in regards to colour options, offering RAL and BS spectrum powder-coated paint options, but also for the shutter door styles and operations. Our clients can choose from finishes such as plastisol, stainless steel or tube and link, and can even choose perforated roller shutters, whilst also deciding on whether manual, motorised or chain host operations best suit your needs; motorised operations can also include the use of remote controls for increased ease of use and access.
