Tectura folding front
The front for large door openings and passageways with high wind loads
The Tectura folding front is ideal for openings indoors and outdoors up to 20 metres wide and 10 metres high. The front is the ideal solution for industrial and commercial companies that want to protect e.g. machine or cold storage halls against the weather. The folding door opens from the bottom to the top, while the curtain is gathered together. The space required for the folding process of approx. 20 centimetres should be taken into account during planning. Welded-on cross straps give the horizontal high-frequency welded PES/PVC fabrics additional stability and durability. For the fabrics, there is a choice between different materials and different colours.
The curtain roller door is driven either by 400 V plug-on motors or 230 V tubular motors. A manual drive with manual shaft drive (HWA) is a cost-effective alternative. The front is equipped with two different controls depending on the choice of motor manufacturer. Both controls guarantee simple and safe operation by means of integrated buttons with defined up, stop and down commands. Optionally, the drive unit can be equipped with a weather protection cover and is thus additionally protected from the weather. Thanks to a steel winding shaft and lateral aluminium guide rails, the tarpaulin roller shutter can be opened or closed safely even with high wind loads (up to wind class 2). Draughts are reliably prevented by the sealing lips of the guide rails.
The innovative corner deflection is a particularly noteworthy feature of the Curve product variant: when open, the textile curtain is pulled into the building structure and stored there – instead of above the opening. This reduces the height loss to just 10 cm.
Roller-equipped storage arms enables a compact and material-friendly roll up. The combination of deflection and storage arms is patent pending and makes the Curve product design the most advanced solution of its kind: functional, space-saving and ideal for closing large door openings with maximum passage height.
The Curve variant is also available with different fabric types, colours and control options and offers all the advantages of the classic Tectura folding front – complemented by maximum space utilisation and an elegant appearance.
