What Are Traffic Doors?
Traffic doors, also known as swing doors, or impact doors, are specialised access solutions engineered to automatically return to a closed position after being pushed open from either side. In commercial and industrial environments, they act as barriers while facilitating seamless movement between different production zones.
What are the Key Benefits of Traffic Doors?
Coldshield’s high-impact traffic doors provide a reliable, impact-resistant solution for facilities with frequently moving goods, personnel, trolleys, or even forklifts. Compared with conventional hinged doors, these traffic doors are built to withstand repeated impact from wheeled equipment and high-volume pedestrian traffic. Swinging in both directions, they enable hands-free entry and eliminate the need for manual operations, a feature that makes them ideal for facilities that require efficiency and strict hygiene control.
Here are key features that make these solutions ideal as commercial and industrial traffic doors:

DOWNTIME RISKS
Exceptional Durability
These door systems feature a robust structure as a result of revolutionary material engineering and seamless construction techniques. 4500 Series panels are impervious to moisture, while the 5000 series can withstand harsh chemicals. Lastly, the PVC swing doors use 7mm-thick panels, providing greater material strength compared to other flexible doors in the market.
Smooth and Efficient Operation
The bi-directional swing of these doors facilitates swift and uninterrupted movement in any high-traffic environments. Components such as pivots, hinges, spring mechanisms, and mounting hardware are lubrication free, requiring minimal maintenance.
Featuring a hygienic design, Coldshield’s range of traffic doors have no gaps or joints, making cleaning and sanitising easy. These access solutions are also designed to be fall-safe and finger-safe, reducing the risks of injury while personnel pass through doorways.
Energy Efficiency
Coldshield’s high-impact traffic doors incorporate materials with excellent thermal insulation properties, making them ideal for temperature-controlled environments such as air-conditioned facilities and cold rooms. They also provide an opportunity to reduce energy costs. An independent study revealed that up to 20% energy savings can be achieved by using self-closing doors versus traditional doors.
Combining reliable performance, seamless operation, and exceptional insulation, Coldshield’s traffic doors offer a long-lasting solution for facilities that require improved workflow and temperature control.
