A summary of the issues
The primary issue Cadillac Fairview faced was strong odour coming into the occupancy lobby from the garbage bins in their shipping and receiving area. Guests and employees in adjacent rooms were particularly complaining about the smell from the garbage bins during hot summer months when the foul odour was strongest.
The solution and results
After conducting a facility audit, a Representative from Northern Dock Systems recommended sealing off the garbage room with a high-speed fabric roll-up door from Hormann—one of the leading manufacturers of roll-up door systems.Hormann’s Speed-Commander 1400 SEL interior door is highly energy-efficient with fast opening speeds of up to 80”/second and closing speeds of up to 30”/second without compromising on safety. It incorporates a coil-free built-in light grid up to 8’ high and a soft bottom edge that automatically reverses in case of accidental impact, greatly reducing maintenance costs. This interior fabric roll-up door also comes with a standard, full-width vision panel to provide maximum visibility for personnel in high-traffic areas.
The 1400 SEL fabric roll-up door provided an efficient barrier to separate the garbage room from the rest of the building with its high-speed movement. Employees were able to enter the door quickly to minimize the odour infiltration throughout the building, keeping guests and workers in adjacent rooms happy.
