Gas Tight Doors are designed for controlled environments such as fruit ripening chambers, cold stores and specialist storage rooms. These doors offer reliable gas retention, precise environmental control and durable construction suitable for facilities that require strict atmospheric conditions. Gas tightness is achieved through multi-flap perimeter gaskets, specialised panel connections or flexible sealing systems depending on the chosen model.

This product range includes three variants to suit different spatial constraints and operational needs: Gas Tight Panel Doors constructed from insulated sandwich panels, Gas Tight Flex Doors using a rolling PVC and polyurethane leaf, and Gas Tight Sectional Doors for applications requiring standard overhead track configurations.
