With this in mind, work processes inside aircraft hangars can be very demanding, meaning every detail in the design of a modern-day hangar impacts strength, productivity, efficiency and security. Save money, improve processes and maximise security Direct Industrial Doors (DID) is an expert in all types of hangar and industrial doors, with a friendly and knowledgeable team who recognise the importance of helping hangar owners improve performance by minimising operating effort, improving efficiency and bearing the harshest of weather conditions. DID supply three main types of hangar doors to customers across the UK and overseas, alongside full support through specification, training and aftercare. Flux – Expertly engineered sliding door with a motor-operated ‘Deadman’ control and the unique ability to slide to one or both sides on one or more rails, operating to a maximum height of 12m. Librum – The Librum Superthermic Insulated Bi-Folding Door is ideal for larger openings, up to a maximum of 12 metres high. These sliding/folding doors can open to one or both sides and are suitable for motorised or manual controls. Key considerations when choosing a hangar or industrial door With the right hangar door, you can undoubtedly add value to your existing structure; however, deciding on the right design and operation can be a complicated process. No two hangars are the same, so every building’s requirements should be looked at individually, yet it’s important to consider the following when investing in any large industrial door: Price | Size | Appearance | Ease of installation | Safety | Maintenance | Strength | Security | Speed Direct Industrial Doors only supply to the trade and they “understand that strength, longevity and security are key components when selecting a hangar or industrial door”.
