High-Speed Fabric Door with Vision Panels — Car Wash Facility, Toronto

The Challenge

The Shell car wash in Toronto faced a tough challenge: needing a high-speed door for its bay entrance that could stand up to constant water, chemicals, and vehicle pressure. The door had to cycle rapidly to keep the operation flowing smoothly, allowing cars to enter and exit without delay. Clear vision panels were crucial so vehicles could see through to the bay, ensuring safety and efficiency.

The Solution

Wilcox supplied and installed a high-speed fabric door with clear PVC vision panels. The blue fabric curtain with integrated panels allows for rapid cycling and clear visibility, essential for the car wash’s operation. The material was chosen specifically to withstand the wet, chemically aggressive environment typical of car washes. The door’s quick cycling admits vehicles efficiently and closes immediately post-wash to maintain the bay environment.
