BESPOKE ROLLER DOORS FOR BENNERLEY VIADUCT VISITOR’S CENTRE

The Project

County Industrial Doors supplied and installed powder-coated, perforated plastisol lath roller doors at the Bennerley Viaduct visitor centre.

As part of the project, the doors needed to provide a practical and secure access solution while complementing the distinctive appearance of the site. A key consideration was ensuring the finish of the doors worked alongside the existing Corten steel used throughout the visitor centre.

County Industrial Doors provided a bespoke roller door solution designed around these requirements, combining the performance and practicality of a roller shutter with a finish selected to complement the surrounding area.

The Benefits of the Door Specification

The roller doors installed at Bennerley Viaduct incorporated several features that provided both practical and aesthetic benefits.

Powder-Coated Finish

Powder coating provides a durable finish that can be specified in a wide range of colours to suit the requirements of a project.

For architectural and commercial applications, this means roller doors do not have to look like an afterthought. The finish can be selected to complement the surrounding building, materials and overall design.

At Bennerley Viaduct, achieving the right appearance was particularly important, with the doors needing to work alongside the site’s distinctive Corten steel.

Perforated Design

The perforated lath construction allows a degree of visibility and airflow through the closed door while still providing a physical barrier.

This can be particularly useful where a building requires security and controlled access without creating a completely solid visual barrier. The perforations also give the door a distinctive appearance, helping it integrate more naturally into certain architectural environments.

For the Bennerley Viaduct visitor centre, this helped create a roller door solution that was functional while also fitting in with the characteristics of the site.

Plastisol Finish

Plastisol is a durable coating commonly used for steel building products, providing protection while also giving the opportunity to customise the finishing colour.

Using a plastisol finish allowed the doors to achieve the required appearance while providing a robust external surface suitable for an exposed installation.

County Industrial Doors offers a range of finishes for our roller shutters, allowing doors to be selected according to both performance needs and the appearance of the building.

Lath Roller Door Construction

Lath roller doors are formed of interlocking sections that roll vertically into a compact position above the opening.

This provided a space-saving access solution, making roller shutters suitable where available space around the doorway needed to be maximised. Unlike doors that swing outwards or require significant space to open, roller shutters operate vertically, helping to preserve usable space.

Roller shutters can provide a robust barrier against unauthorised access while also offering a practical solution for regular access requirements. Depending on the application, CI Doors can provide manual or electric operation and tailor the door to your requirements.

A Bespoke Door Designed to Match the Site

One of the most important aspects of this project was the appearance of the doors.

The visitor centre has a distinctive appearance, with Corten steel forming a significant part of the site’s look.

Rather than installing standard roller shutters and compromising the appearance of the building, the doors needed to complement the existing surroundings.

This is where our ability to provide bespoke door solutions was particularly valuable.

Every building and installation presents different needs. Our roller shutters are made to measure and installed to the exact specifications of the project, with options for different finishes, hardware and configurations.

For Bennerley Viaduct, this meant creating a solution that was not only suitable for the intended use, but also considered the wider design of the site.

The result was a door installation that combines the practical benefits expected from a roller shutter with an appearance selected for the environment in which it was installed.

Why Choose Roller Doors?

Roller shutters are a versatile access solution for commercial, industrial and other buildings where security, reliability and efficient use of space are important.

Their vertical operation makes them particularly useful where space is limited, while their robust construction provides a secure barrier when the building is closed. Roller shutters can also be designed around the requirements of their application, including different operating systems, finishes and configurations.

For projects where appearance is just as important as performance, bespoke finishes can help roller shutters become a part of the building’s overall design rather than simply a functional addition.
