Access solutions for supermarkets: efficiency, safety and adaptability
Optimizing operational workflows and ensuring safety is essential in the supermarket sector. At Ferroflex, we understand these needs and offer a wide range of access solutions such as high-speed doors, fire-rated doors, sectional doors, and loading dock shelters, specifically designed to improve logistics and safety in these environments. Our doors not only optimize space and the flow of goods, but also guarantee excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.
Thanks to their compact design and adaptability, our solutions integrate easily into warehouses, customer access areas, and loading and unloading zones. They are equipped with advanced sensors and safety mechanisms that protect both personnel and facilities, ensuring reliable operation. In addition, we offer customization options for door curtains with logos, signage, and images, adding value to the supermarket’s brand image.

EI120 fire-rated high-speed curtain door
Our EI120 fire-rated high-speed curtain door combines speed and fire protection, making it an ideal solution for supermarkets that require both safety and efficiency. It is designed with two parallel curtains: one for high-speed door operation and another acting as a fire curtain. Under normal conditions, the fire curtain remains rolled up, but in the event of a fire, it automatically descends, separating areas and preventing the spread of fire.
As a self-repairing high-speed door, if it suffers an impact, the curtain disengages from the guide to prevent damage. When the door is raised again, the side zipper repositions itself into the guide, allowing the door to resume normal operation.
Some of its key advantages include:
Fire protection: The EI120 rating guarantees 120 minutes of fire resistance, protecting both people and assets.
Space optimization: The integration of both systems into a single structure maximizes space usage by eliminating the need for lateral sliding doors.
Integration with safety systems: Easily connects to alarm and fire detection systems, ensuring automatic activation in emergency situations.
High-speed supermarket door
High-speed doors for supermarkets are designed to withstand the heavy traffic of people and goods typical of this environment. They are an ideal solution for optimizing internal logistics, offering fast and safe vertical opening. These doors provide:
Speed and efficiency: Fast opening and closing enable continuous flow, improving supermarket operations.
Enhanced safety: Equipped with advanced sensors to prevent accidents and ensure safe use.
Durability: Manufactured with high-quality materials to withstand daily wear and ensure a long service life.
Customization: The curtain can be customized with logos, images, or signage to meet customer needs.
Self-repairing system: In the event of impact, the curtain disengages from the guide to prevent damage and automatically reinserts itself, keeping the door operational.
Symmetry: The door is symmetrical, so motor placement does not affect dimensions or performance.
This type of door is ideal for improving efficiency and safety in high-traffic supermarkets.
Other access and safety solutions
Fire-rated sliding door
For areas requiring enhanced fire safety, the Ferroflex fire-rated sliding door is an essential solution, as it prevents the spread of fire. It complies with EI/60, EI/90, and EI/120 regulations and can be combined with high-speed doors for greater functionality. Its telescopic design allows it to adapt to different spaces, providing an efficient solution to protect the most sensitive areas of the facility.
Standard sectional door
The Ferroflex standard sectional door is ideal for supermarkets that require thermal and acoustic insulation without compromising design. Its airtight closure ensures maximum security, and its customization options allow it to adapt to any architectural environment. We offer different opening systems to facilitate integration into spaces with specific requirements.
Loading dock shelter
The loading dock shelter is designed to protect goods during loading and unloading operations. It prevents the entry of contaminated air, protects against drafts, and avoids temperature loss—crucial for sensitive or refrigerated products. Its galvanized steel structure and compact design ensure durability and efficiency in high-rotation environments.
