Case Study: Cobra 610 Sectional Overhead Door Installation – Warehouse Unit, Exeter

HVP Security Shutters was appointed to supply and install a premium insulated sectional overhead door at a busy distribution warehouse on the outskirts of Exeter, Devon. Located within one of the region’s most active commercial zones, the client required a state-of-the-art door system to optimise thermal efficiency, ensure high-level security, and withstand the demands of daily logistics operations.

Solution: Cobra 610 Insulated Sectional Overhead Door for Exeter’s Commercial Sector

Following a comprehensive site assessment and consultation with the warehouse management team, we specified the Cobra 610 insulated sectional overhead door—renowned for its outstanding insulation, robust construction, and operational versatility. This door system is specifically designed for commercial and industrial environments where energy efficiency, security, and reliability are paramount.

The Cobra 610 is constructed from 40mm-thick, hinged panels, each filled with high-density rigid polyurethane foam and clad on both sides with 0.5mm hot-dipped galvanised steel. The ‘V’ grooved steel panels deliver exceptional lateral strength, while factory-applied weather seals and EPDM rubber gaskets ensure complete protection against the elements—a key requirement for Exeter’s variable climate.
