Local points to consider
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Working hours
Most Macclesfield businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Macclesfield premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
