Commercial sectional doors for workshops and units in Antrim

Choosing a commercial sectional door for a home in Antrim

How is it different from a domestic door?

Commercial doors open more often and are often bigger, so they use springs rated for higher cycle counts, heavier hardware and operators built for frequent use. The safety requirements for powered doors at work also apply.

What size of premises do you cover?

This page covers workshops, small units, garages for vans and plant, and farm buildings. For large loading bays with dock levellers and shelters, a specialist industrial installer is the right route.

Planning and regulations for Antrim homes

Planning questions for homes in Antrim go to Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council. Most garage door swaps need no permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are the exceptions.

In Northern Ireland a new door within the existing opening generally needs no planning permission. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the exceptions.

Northern Ireland has no Part P equivalent, but electrical work for an operator should still be done to BS 7671 and certified.

Under the Windsor Framework, products placed on the market in Northern Ireland follow EU rules, so doors carry CE marking (with UKNI where a UK body assessed them). UKCA marking on its own is not accepted in Northern Ireland.

At work in Northern Ireland, the equivalent duties sit in the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999.
