How do climate-controlled buildings benefit by using Champion Door’s products?
Champion Door’s thermal insulation provides a U-Value of 0.7W/m²K. Additionally all aluminum side rails are fitted with thick brushes on both sides to block any wind-borne sand, and wide weather pads on the internal edges of the fabrics press tight against the side rails to eliminate any gaps, this design provides an excellent protection against wind infiltration.
How could the door be operated in case of a power or motor failure?
A manual hand crank or chain is provided as standard. This manual solution however does not work for large size doors with multiple motors. We have solved this by providing a battery-operated hydraulic back-up system (also available as a moveable unit), designed to open the doors in case of a lack of power or motor failure. In case of power failure only, a back-up power switch can be also implemented.
