Fox Industrial Doors were contacted in late 2020 by a reputable main contractor based in the West Midlands to discuss the Industrial Door requirements on a very unique Design and Build Project of a New Workshop Facility for an Army Reserve Centre in the UK. Following various discussions and alterations to the design of these doors between both the architect and main contractor, Fox Industrial Doors came up with a solution that would not only provide an aesthetically pleasing finish, but would also offer efficiency and practicability. The client required 2 additional access points to the front elevation of the building for personnel and pedestrian usage, but unfortunately struggled with a previous supplier to come up with a suitable solution. Together Leeds Based Fox Industrial Doors and the Dutch Manufacturer Alpha Deuren came up with the fully insulated side pass door as the best option to conform with the requirements of the build. With energy saving and cost efficiency becoming ever more prominent in recent years, the ISO40 Sectional Doors manufactured by Alpha Deuren were the perfect solution to our customers’ requirements offering a U-Value rating of 1.45 W/m2K.
