Differences Between Hard Fast Doors and PVC Fast Doors

Both hard fast doors and PVC fast doors belong to a type of fast doors, and their usage scenarios differ according to their product characteristics.

Operating Speed

The opening speed of hard fast doors is usually between 1.5 to 2.35 meters/second, while the closing speed can reach 0.8 meters/second.

The operating speed of PVC fast doors is generally between 0.6-1.6 meters/second, but the speed can also be adjusted according to actual requirements.

Operating Method

The operating methods of hard fast doors include standard spiral intake structure, oval spiral intake structure, L-shaped structure, vertical structure, horizontal installation structure, and more, with the spiral intake structure being the most commonly used.

PVC fast doors generally operate with an up-and-down rolling shaft method.

Door Material

The aluminum alloy door panels of hard fast doors are filled with polyurethane industrial insulation materials. The total thickness of the door panels is 40mm, and small transparent windows can be opened in the middle. The panels use approximately double 1.0mm thick double-layer aluminum alloy plates, which are composite formed in one process on an assembly line.

PVC fast doors use PVC coated base fabric, with a thickness of 0.8mm, featuring wear resistance, corrosion resistance, fire resistance, flame retardancy, high strength, and other characteristics. The door leaves are connected in sections, with small transparent windows in the middle to facilitate observation of the internal operation of the workshop.

Sealing Method

Hard fast doors mainly use rubber strips for sealing. Due to the thickness of the door panels, they have stronger insulation and thermal retention properties.

PVC fast doors use brush and rubber sealing structures, providing excellent sealing and thermal retention performance.

Applicable Scenarios

Hard fast doors are suitable for places with high safety requirements, such as gates in factories, warehouses, and logistics centers. These places usually have a lot of goods and personnel movement, requiring a sturdy and durable door with certain wind resistance to protect the safety of personnel and property.

PVC fast doors are applied in electronic workshops, clean rooms, and dust-free workshops where environmental requirements are high and frequent access is needed. They can open and close quickly to improve work efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and effectively isolate dust and noise.

Both hard fast doors and PVC fast doors have their advantages and application scenarios. When choosing, one should comprehensively consider factors such as opening speed, thermal insulation performance, and safety performance based on actual needs.
