Teckentrup ThermoTeck XXL Roller Shutter Door

Engineering Excellence for Exceptional Openings

When opening widths exceed 7 metres and heights push beyond 6 metres, standard roller shutter doors simply cannot deliver the structural integrity, operational reliability and long-term performance demanded by critical industrial applications. The Teckentrup ThermoTeck XXL roller shutter is a precision-engineered solution designed specifically for large-scale openings where failure is not an option.

Proven Performance for Extra Large Openings

Manufactured by Teckentrup—a world-leading specialist in industrial door systems—the ThermoTeck XXL represents genuine engineering capability rather than improvised solutions. Where many manufacturers simply extend standard components onto larger assemblies and hope for reliability, Teckentrup has developed a fully tested and CE-marked roller shutter system that delivers proven performance in the most demanding environments.

Individual doors can be manufactured up to an extraordinary 18 metres wide in a single piece, eliminating the structural weaknesses and operational compromises associated with joined systems. For even larger applications, double door configurations extend coverage up to 36 metres wide, whilst multiple-door installations can provide continuous coverage—such as five 18-metre doors in a single row—for truly exceptional opening requirements.

Applications & Industries

The ThermoTeck XXL is the door of choice for applications where size, strength and reliability are non-negotiable:

• Shipyards: Vessel construction and maintenance facilities requiring clear access for large components and equipment
• Aircraft Hangars: Commercial and military aviation facilities demanding maximum clear span and weather protection
• Waste Processing Centres: Recycling and waste management operations with heavy vehicle movements and environmental containment requirements
• Distribution Centres: Logistics hubs with high-volume loading operations and temperature-controlled environments
• Manufacturing Plants: Heavy industry facilities requiring oversized access for plant, machinery and production lines
• Transport Depots: Bus, coach and HGV maintenance facilities requiring clear access for large vehicles

Innovative Centre Mullion System

For double door configurations at 18 metres and wider, the ThermoTeck XXL features an ingenious sliding centre mullion system. This 50cm wide galvanised steel centre support handles lateral movement and structural load, yet can be simply pushed to one side by hand once the curtains are lifted. Both doors open independently, and the centre post slides effortlessly to the edge, providing full clear opening width with minimal manual effort—a remarkable feat of engineering for doors of this scale.

Superior Construction & Components

Every ThermoTeck XXL door is constructed using Teckentrup's high-specification 95mm double-walled steel profile with rigid PU foam core. This advanced curtain design delivers exceptional strength to resist wind loading and structural deflection across wide spans, whilst providing excellent thermal insulation and remarkably quiet operation for doors of this size.

The quality extends throughout the entire assembly:

• Direct Drive Three-Phase Motors: Industrial-grade GfA motors with integrated anti-drop devices and emergency operation capabilities
• Heavy-Duty Guide Rails: Engineered guide systems designed to handle the substantial curtain weights and lateral forces of extra-large doors
• Precision Manufacturing: Made to measure in Teckentrup's ISO-certified German facilities to exacting tolerances
• Full Compliance: CE marked and compliant with the latest UK and European safety regulations

Comprehensive Control & Safety Systems

Access control and safety systems can be configured to meet virtually any operational requirement and building protocol. From basic deadman push-button operation through to sophisticated automated systems with traffic light control, digital induction loops and integrated safety edges, the ThermoTeck XXL can be specified to match your exact operational and safety needs.
