Why You Must Prepare Your Industrial Doors for Winter
Your industrial doors provide security, access, and protection to your premises, so it’s vital that you maintain them to a high standard ahead of and during the winter months. Doors impacted by harsh winter conditions can break down, leading to operational disruptions and increased energy costs, amongst other issues. Below, you can learn more about preparing your industrial doors for winter and how we at BGS can help with this process.
Preparing Your Industrial Doors for Winter: Ensuring Security and Efficiency
You must winterise your industrial doors to maintain energy efficiency and smooth operations on your premises. There are several reasons why it’s essential to have maintenance work completed on your doors before the winter season, including:
1. Insulation and Environment Control
Damaged industrial doors that fail to close properly or remain jammed open can result in a loss of heat, leading to higher energy consumption and increased energy expenses. A poorly insulated environment will also create uncomfortable working conditions for employees.
2. Building Security
Industrial doors are a vital component of building security. If these doors are not functioning optimally, the security of the premises is compromised. This vulnerability can expose businesses to unauthorised access and put valuable assets at risk of theft or damage.
3. Business Continuity and Downtime
Poorly maintained industrial doors can bring business operations to a standstill. Doors that are jammed closed may hinder the movement of stock, while doors that are jammed open compromise security and safety, resulting in unwarranted downtime and disrupted supply chains.
4. Preventive Maintenance vs. Reactive Repairs
When it comes to industrial door maintenance, taking preventative measures is the smart choice. Regularly scheduled maintenance is not only cost-effective but also averts sudden breakdowns, reduces repair costs, and ensures smooth business operations during the winter.
