- The rapid operation minimises the duration the doors remain open, reducing conditioned air loss and maintaining a consistent internal climate.
- These energy-saving designs support building performance by optimising heating and cooling efficiency, contributing to reduced operational costs over time.
Evidence
The product meets the requirements set out in the following documents, or relevant parts of cited standards within the documents:
The Efaflex SRT models meet New Zealand Building Code requirements by conforming to key structural, durability, fire protection, and energy efficiency standards. Structural integrity is supported by conformance with AS/NZS 1170 for load actions, including self-weight, imposed loads, and wind resistance. Durability requirements (15-year lifespan) are achieved through high-quality materials and manufacturing practices per B2. Fire safety is assured by utilizing materials that meet AS 1530.4 for fire-resistant properties. For access and activity space, automatic door functionality and safety align with EN 16005. Water ingress prevention follows AS/NZS 4284 standards, supporting E2 compliance. Ventilation requirements are met through design adaptations for airflow control, in line with G4. Energy efficiency is assured by thermal resistance testing in compliance with AS/NZS 4859, limiting heat transfer and conserving energy as per H1.
Design requirements
Efaflex R Series high-speed roll-up doors are designed for rapid access in high-traffic industrial and commercial spaces requiring efficient workflow, environmental control and minimal contamination. Ideal applications include logistics centers, manufacturing plants, clean rooms, and facilities with climate-sensitive areas like food processing or pharmaceuticals. These doors integrate with structural frames, floors, and automation systems, enhancing both workflow and environmental separation. Certain models are suited for exterior applications, but model selection should consider environmental factors such as exposure to wind, temperature fluctuations, and moisture levels.
Installation requirements
Efaflex R Series high-speed roll-up doors should be installed by qualified technicians experienced in high-speed industrial doors. Installation involves securely mounting the frame, connecting and testing electrical components, and calibrating sensors. Adherence to manufacturer instructions, correct tool usage, and precise alignment are essential to prevent operational issues. Installation should take place in stable temperature and humidity conditions to avoid misalignment or material expansion. Ensuring proper calibration of sensors and components minimizes performance issues and maintains safety in temperature-sensitive applications.
Maintenance requirements
Preventative maintenance is suggested in accordance with Efaflex’s maintenance schedules to ensure durability and optimal performance. Recommended tasks include regular visual inspections, cleaning, and checks on wear-sensitive parts like seals and sensors. Adjustments to door tension and recalibration of automation features help prevent issues in high-use environments. Key components, such as springs, electrical connections, and safety edges, should be inspected periodically, with replacements as necessary to maintain longevity and functionality. Efaflex can recommend a qualified contractor to perform these tasks and keep detailed records to support NZBC Clause B2 compliance and ensure reliable door operation.
