Paramount Doors, a specialist in heavy duty rolling shutter doors, unveiled its new product - a huge Compact Door that requires no railings and little space to store the door when it’s rolled up.

The Compact Door, which has been made in Holland, comes in various types, such as full-vision panels, rectangular and oval windows, full light panels, ventilation grating, and wicket door, said the company officials on the sidelines of the Gulf Construction Expo which opened on April 25.

The doors are more practical and suitable for areas where there is dearth of space or not enough ceiling to install railings that would be required in other rolling doors, explained Fadheela Al Shehabi of Paramount Doors.

"It reaches a height of 6 m and virtually any width and can be used various application areas including warehousse, garages and airport hangars," she noted.

Paramount can customise the Compact Door according to the customer's requirement, she added.

Suvindar, a mechanical engineer at Paramount, said these Compact Doors are made for intensive use in application areas involving 1,000 to 2,000 daily cycles.

"In addition, they have an automatic detection system that spots objects and opens automatically," explained Suvindar.

The Compact Door can also be programmed to numerous radio devices used by firms that have many workers, he added.

Al Shehabi said Paramount has been selective in bringing unique doors - whether commercial, industrial or residential segments - to the market from all over the world including Spain, France and the US.

The Bahraini company is also showcasing the MPM slide opening doors, and window shuttering systems and shading systems, for landscaping.

A key safety feature of the product is that all these come with sensors that can detect people or objects below it and hence act accordingly.

Al Shehabi said the company has flexible motors for the doors made by several reputed global manufacturers and advises clients on which of these would be suited for their requirements and budget, with various warranty limits on these motors."

Suvindar said the doors come with an auto close system that shuts automatically in case the user forgets to do it after a set time.

"These doors can be connected to smart devices and can be operated from anywhere in the world and, therefore, monitored," he explained.

"Its reputation has been such that all bus stations in Bahrain and even the Bahrain International Circuit have installed these Paramount doors," said a proud Suvindar.-TradeArabia News Service
