What are the uses of High Speed (Rapid Rise) Doors?

• The most common use of a Rapid Rise Door is in a supermarket or grocery store, where customers are frequently opening the exterior door to enter and exit the building. Using conventional hinged doors can lead to large amounts of cold air entering and exiting with each entry and exit. This not only results in higher energy bills but also leads to produce spoilage due to extreme temperature changes that may occur within minutes of customers coming in and out of the building.
• A pair of high-speed doors will ensure that warm air stays inside while outside temperatures remain cool; at the same time, they will allow fresh outside air into the building when. In a freezer environment, they will keep warm air from exiting the building and prevent cold air from entering at doors located in warm climates where exterior door openings would otherwise cause energy loss.
• Another good use for high-speed doors is to separate an area that has harmful products or fumes that should not be mixed with other areas of a facility. Pharmacies often have high speed doors between pill preparation and packaging areas as a means to protect consumers from contamination by airborne chemicals.
• Hospitals use this type of the door before transferring a patient who may be carrying contagious germs between their room and the rest of the hospital. The list goes on as far as your imagination can stretch because Rapid Rise Doors are great adaptable tools wherever harmful airflow or temperature loss is a concern.
