Champion Door Oy has delivered new large doors to shipyards around the world. The doors supplied are very large, with a width of 30–60 m and up to 50 m in height.
The construction of the Champion Door door is lighter than ordinary fabric foldup doors, so heavy oversized structures are not required for the main building. This will bring significant savings on the building costs of the hall. Doors can be manufactured in different strengths. The door frame strength is determined by door size and wind load requirements. Despite the lightness of the structure, the doors are designed to withstand strong wind loads. Wind resistance has been tested in a research facility.
Shipyards are usually located on the seacoast where corrosion protection of the components is paramount. The metal parts of the Champion Door shipyard doors are corrosion protected and they withstand dust, dirt and moisture well. Thanks to its simple structure, the doors are virtually maintenance-free. All these factors increase the lifetime of the door, and thus its lifecycle costs remain reasonable.
Champion Door Oy has invested in thermal insulation in their product development of shipyard doors. Good thermal insulation reduces heating or cooling costs and increases working comfort.
