Based in Yeovil, UK, Wessex Industrial Doors are one of the leading manufacturers of Heavy Duty Folding Sliding Doors for Workshops, Hangars and Industrial Units nationwide. With over three decades of experience designing, manufacturing and installing a wide range of industrial door systems, Wessex understands the importance of matching the right door to each business’s bespoke requirements. Every door is made to measure.

Functional, Easy Access and Smooth Operation

Folding, Sliding, Concertina Industrial Factory Doors provide significantly better ease of use and access for large business units and factories compared with traditional hinged or outward‑opening doors. Because they do not swing in or out, they maximise working space and allow lorries, trucks and other large vehicles to reverse closer to the entrance and manoeuvre quickly. This saves valuable time—and therefore money—for your business.

Building Integrity, Security and Equipment Protection

Traditional hinged workshop doors can pose security risks that many business owners are now keen to avoid. Heavy Duty Folding Sliding Doors offer superior security, controlled access and strong defence against theft. These priorities are central to the manufacturing process at Wessex Industrial Doors, a leading UK provider of folding and sliding industrial door systems.

With storm‑force winds, heavy rain and flooding becoming more common across the UK, poorly fitted or lightweight doors can be easily damaged—leading to costly repairs and operational downtime. Weather extremes exploit weaknesses, which is why robust, correctly manufactured folding sliding doors are essential for protecting workshops and industrial units.

To secure your Buildings, Factories, Warehouses, Industrial Units and Agricultural Buildings, Wessex installs industrial‑strength Folding Concertina Sliding Doors, custom‑made and tailored to your requirements to ensure reliable operation and protection from damage.

Heavy Duty Folding Sliding Doors Made From Galvanized Steel

These high‑performance doors are manufactured from Galvanized Steel—or Aluminium where required. They are lightweight yet extremely strong, making them ideal for securing large structural openings. Despite their lightness, the materials provide exceptional rigidity, making this style of door a smart choice for businesses needing durable, space‑efficient access solutions.

As expected, one type, size or style does not suit all applications. Choosing the correct folding sliding door is essential to meet the specific requirements of your Warehouse, Factory or Hangar, as well as the equipment and operations within it.

Heavy Duty Folding Sliding Door Maintenance

Daily upkeep is minimal but important. Operators should ensure:

  • Tracks are free from grime and dust build‑up
  • Periodic cleansers and lubricants are applied
  • Regular scheduled maintenance is carried out by a qualified engineer

If you require advice or further information about Heavy Duty Folding Sliding Doors or Folding Sliding Industrial Doors in general—or if your current door needs maintenance—please contact Wessex Industrial Doors.
