Efaflex high-speed doors offer architects and specifiers a precision-engineered solution that streamlines both documentation and on-site installation. Designed for commercial and industrial applications across New Zealand, these doors combine rapid operation, robust performance and seamless integration into your BIM workflows.

Project application example

In a recent Auckland distribution centre, early specification of Efaflex high-speed doors enabled coordinated procurement alongside precast wall panels and internal finishes. The modular doors arrived pre-configured with control panels and safety sensors, allowing a single crane lift per door and plug-and-play commissioning. The contractor reported a 40% reduction in door-installation time compared with conventional sectional doors — freeing project teams to focus on fit-out activities.

Ease of specification

Efaflex supports the early design stages with a comprehensive suite of technical resources. Specifiers have access to BIM objects, 2D and 3D CAD files, detailed product data sheets and a detailed Masterspec work section. Efaflex's collection of resources reduces ambiguity in your project documentation, aligns multi-disciplinary teams and accelerates your processes. Efaflex also provides a dedicated specification support service that assists consultants and architects with tailored documentation, ensuring specifications are correctly structured, coordinated with digital resources like BIM, and ready for immediate inclusion in projects.

Installation efficiency

The modular construction of Efaflex doors is engineered to minimise on-site labour and coordination complexity. Pre-assembled curtain and frame units are delivered pre-assembled and ready for installation, requiring only mechanical anchoring and simple mechanical and electrical connections. This approach reduces interface points between trades, shortens labour and equipment hire durations, mitigates programme risk, and ensures doors are operational within shorter time spans, improving your overall project efficiency.

System compatibility

Efaflex doors are designed to meet the specific needs of cold storage, food processing, clean room, and logistics environments. These facilities have demanding requirements for hygiene, airtightness, and temperature control. Efaflex addresses these with precision-engineered features:

• Hygiene standards: The doors are equipped with recessed and hygienic stainless-steel profiles, which facilitate easy cleaning and ensure compliance with stringent hygiene regulations in food processing and cleanroom areas.
• Airtightness: The doors are designed to reduce air exchange in temperature-sensitive environments, ensuring that cold storage and clean room areas remain isolated from external temperatures. Efaflex doors meet airtightness provisions up to Class 4 as per New Zealand Building Code (NZBC).
• Thermal performance: Efaflex doors feature thermal performance capabilities, with U-values from 1.5 W/m²K, making them suitable for environments that require tight control of internal temperature.
• Cross-contamination prevention: The robust sealing technology ensures operational continuity in wash-down areas, preventing cross-contamination and maintaining a stable internal environment.

Efaflex doors integrate seamlessly into wall systems such as precast concrete, insulated panels, or hygienic systems, contributing to better sanitation and temperature regulation.

Digital integration and smart building design

Beyond physical interfaces, Efaflex doors connect with building management systems (BMS) and access-control platforms via Modbus TCP/IP or relay contacts. This facilitates automated cycle monitoring, fault diagnostics and integration into IoT-enabled smart-facility dashboards. Such digital compatibility helps building operators optimise energy usage, plan preventative maintenance and future-proof installations against evolving facility requirements.
