When searching for the right sectional overhead door, safety, durability, customisation and appearance are very important. You are looking for a reliable product that will operate problem free under all conditions. A proven product that will be made according to your specification and be delivered on time.
EYS sectional overhead doors meet the most stringent British guidelines in the area of safety and durability. In a wide range of applications and in changing weather conditions (temperature, wind and water), the sectional overhead doors provide reliable access through the openings in which they are installed.
Flexible
Our sectional overhead doors are constructed from composite panel, allowing you to specify the format, functionality and appearance you desire. EYS sectional overhead doors can be supplied in any RAL colour.
Durable
You want a sectional overhead door that completely meets your needs and will operate problem free for many years. The panels in our doors are perfectly protected against corrosion, thanks to the use of high-quality materials, which are galvanised and coated. This guarantees a long life, even when exposed to extreme weather conditions.
Certified
To guarantee the quality and safety of industrial doors, the European Commission has established (European) guidelines in the EN 13 241 1:2003 standard. All our sectional overhead doors meet the requirements specified in this CE NEN standard. This has been determined by the accredited Swedish research centre SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden.
Made To Measure
Our sectional overhead doors are manufactured to the exact specified size and assembled and installed on site. If required, our doors can be fitted with a wicket door and/or windows. The sectional overhead door can be operated manually, semi-automatically (with a chain hoist) or fully automatically (with a Marantec operator).
Tracks
A track system is used when opening and closing a sectional overhead door. This system consists of a set of rails, the springs and the operating equipment. The track system forms the silent strength of every sectional overhead door.
EYS tracks are always custom made and all made from fully galvanised steel. A track is designed and made to measure for every sectional overhead door.
Options include: Standard lift, High Lift, Vertical Lift and Low Headroom Track configurations.
Springs, Hoisting Cables & Hardware
Steel lifting springs and cables are used to open the sectional overhead door and keep it open.
We use the highest-grade springs to EN10270 Class SH specification for longer life.
Spring Brake Device
If a spring of the track system breaks (for instance at the end of its life), it is possible for the overhead door to suddenly shut at great speed. For manually operated doors especially, this can result in dangerous situations. Therefore, these overhead doors are fitted as standard with an obligatory spring break device. If another mode of operation is used, the spring break device can be fitted as an extra option.
Cable Break Safety Device (Recommended)
In the unlikely event that one of the cables of the guide rail system breaks, an unsafe situation can develop when opening or closing the door. To reduce the risk of a cable break, we over-dimension the cables six times. This reduces the probability of both cables breaking at the same time to almost zero. Although when using our cables it is not obligatory to fit a cable break safety device, EYS fit them as standard.
Door Panels
The door panel provides the overall Insulated Sectional Overhead Door assembly with its main characteristics and therefore the following detailed information is provided to assist when the door performance needs to be explained.
COMPOSITION: The use of quality materials and precise manufacturing controls ensure long service life in normal industrial and commercial applications. All EYS Insulated Door Panels conform to the Building Regulations requirements for Industrial Doors, and the durability of finishes are those specified by our steel suppliers technical specifications department.
Outer and Inner Sheet: 0.5mm hot dipped galvanised steel. Both inner and outer sheets are supplied “V” grooved to provide increased lateral strength, and the whole panel is made-up to form a “T+G” joint top and bottom.
Core: 39mm thick rigid polyurethane foam, density 40kg/m3.
Seal: Low density compressible foam at panel base, and PVC Tape to the panel nose, all factory applied.
THERMAL PERFORMANCE EYS sectional door panels provide high levels of insulation. The foam core between the inner and outer steel sheets of the door panel creates effective interruption of cold bridges, thus preventing transmission of heat or cold, giving an optimum panel ‘U’ value of 0.51 W/m2 K. This means a typical door of 4000 x 5000 ‘U’ value of 0.9 W/m2 K. See Declaration of Performance for test results and performance here, here and here.
Safety Edge
You can also select a safety edge to be fitted on electrically operated overhead doors for additional safety. If the door closes while someone or something is under it, the safety edge stops the door automatically.
Operating Equipment
The sectional overhead door can be operated manually, with a chain hoist or by an electric motor. We can advise you of the possibilities and advantages of each mode of operation.
