Designing Clean Rooms for Pharmacies and Medical Facilities with High-Speed EFAFLEX Roll-Up Doors and Dortek GRP Doors

When designing clean rooms, it’s important that the door perfectly suits the needs of your facility and practical needs. For medical facilities and pharmaceuticals, this means they must meet strict hygiene and environmental control standards to prevent contamination and protect both staff and products.

Both EFAFLEX high-speed roll-up doors and Dortek GRP doors offer tailored solutions for clean rooms, each with their own unique advantages. In this blog, we’ll explore how these two door systems enhance clean room efficiency, hygiene, and functionality.

The Importance of Door Selection in Clean Room Design

The type of door installed in cleanrooms can significantly impact airflow, hygiene, and operational efficiency. The right door ensures contaminants are kept out, temperatures are controlled, and air quality is maintained. At Premier Doors, we know that for pharmaceutical and medical environments, two door options stand out: the EFAFLEX high-speed roll-up door and the Dortek GRP door.

EFAFLEX High-Speed Roll-Up Doors

The EFAFLEX EFA-STT® CR high-speed roll-up door is an ideal choice for clean rooms where speed and airtightness are essential. Designed for use in clean rooms up to ISO Class 6, this TÜV-certified door ensures minimal air loss even under high-pressure conditions

One of the standout features of EFAFLEX doors is their rapid opening and closing speed of up to 2.5 m/s, which reduces air exchange and prevents unfiltered or contaminated air from entering the clean room. The door’s tight seal is maintained even after thousands of load cycles, ensuring long-lasting performance and low maintenance costs.

Dortek GRP Doors

Dortek GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) doors are specifically designed for high-hygiene environments, making them perfect for pharmacies and medical facilities. Unlike traditional steel doors, Dortek GRP doors are fully encapsulated with a smooth, seamless surface that is easy to clean and disinfect. This makes them highly resistant to bacteria, water, and chemicals, which is absolutely crucial for maintaining cleanliness in controlled environments.
With a fire-resistant, impact-resistant, and non-shedding construction, Dortek GRP doors offer superior performance in environments where hygiene is non-negotiable. Their lightweight design also makes them easier and safer to operate compared to steel doors. Their ability to withstand harsh cleaning agents like chlorine and vaporized hydrogen peroxide ensures they remain intact and hygienic. Dortek doors can be guaranteed for up to 25 years, offering superior longevity and lower lifecycle costs.

Both EFAFLEX high-speed roll-up doors and Dortek GRP doors offer specialised benefits that enhance hygiene, efficiency, and durability. EFAFLEX doors are ideal for environments where speed and airtightness are essential, while Dortek GRP doors provide unmatched hygiene and long-term durability compared to steel alternatives. Contact Premier Doors solutions today for expert advice on choosing the right clean room door for you!
