Many types of facilities experience heavy vehicle or foot traffic, with heavy equipment passing through on a regular basis. As a result, hot and cold air can easily escape from contained areas such as cold storage facilities, which can subsequently increase overall energy expenses.


Impact doors can prevent this leakage, ensuring that doors close properly after people or equipment enter or exit. There are multiple benefits to installing impact doors in your facility.


Impact doors are designed for many different applications. Use them in several different facilities, including:


  • Grocery stores
  • Restaurants
  • Food processing plants
  • Poultry farms
  • Pharmacies
  • Hospitals and other medical facilities

In addition to reducing energy costs, impact resistant doors help prevent spoilage of food and other perishable items. Products that require consistently cold temperatures will benefit from avoided potential leakage, without the unnecessary expense of automatic doors. Impact doors are also ideal for maintaining the appropriate room temperature for poultry and other livestock.

Hospitals can also use them to help ensure that patients are comfortable with indoor temperatures.


Depending on the size and temperature specifications of your facility, industry experts can help you customize an impact door to meet your needs. There are different types of door hinges available based on temperature containment requirements.


These hinges allow for easy opening of doors while also maintaining an airtight seal when closed. Despite the lower cost of installing manual impact doors, there is no compromise in reliability. When the doors close, they create an airtight seal that doesn’t allow for any amount of air leakage.


With custom impact doors in place, you should see a dramatic drop in energy costs, and the doors themselves require minimal maintenance.
