Pharmaceutical Doors, Laboratory Doors & Cleanroom Doors – Common Characteristics

Cleanrooms, laboratories and pharmaceutical environments share many similar characteristics in relation to the requirements and usage of their individual spaces. Perhaps the most common characteristic being doors, more notably pharmaceutical doors, laboratory doors and cleanroom doors.

A common feature seen in many of the aforementioned spaces is the use of specialist ventilation systems to control the air pressure in specified areas within the building envelope. The control of air by way of positive and negative pressures is designed to minimise the presence of particles in the air by creating a vacuum effect which subsequently forces the particles out of the building by extraction. Vacuum effects in buildings can cause pharmaceutical doors, laboratory doors and cleanroom doors to behave in an abnormal ways, including difficulty in opening, slamming when closing, doors not latching, interlocks failing to engage and the like.

LAMI GRP Doors are manufactured and installed with the consideration of the presence of controlled air pressures in mind. Tolerances between the door leaf and frame are accurately factory produced. Threshold gaps are determined with the required pressure regimes and air movements taken into consideration. Additional items to enable the correct performance of doors are added if applicable including, door closers with additional opening/closing power, air transfer grilles, automatic drop down seals and the like.

In summary, pharma doors, laboratory doors and cleanroom doors, manufactured, supplied and delivered by LAMI GRP Doors would make a great addition to any pharmaceutical, laboratory or cleanroom environment. This is a door that is hardwearing, durable, will not rust or warp and is low in maintenance which, together with the aforementioned points, are good reasons to specify and use this product.
