Exuding a professional atmosphere when providing services to customers and clients can make or break a sporting venue, doctor’s office, or school lobby. Vendors at arenas try to make their concession areas attractive to fans, even during closed hours. Doctors must impede others from hearing sensitive protective health information in waiting rooms, while schools must prevent students and parents from overhearing private administrative conversations while waiting in lobbies.

In cafeterias, stadiums, hospitality, healthcare, and educational facilities, it's important to install a high-performance counter door that delivers smooth, dependable operation with insulation that reduces noise. There are many counter door options on the market, but only one has a patented PVC back slat that secures the melamine foam insulation within the curtain. 

Our Insulated Roll-Up Counter Door is a unique solution with a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 26.

Features of Insulated Counter Doors from Cornell

Our insulated counter door is the first and only of its kind on the market, with similar features to our roll-up counter shutter, including:

• Enhanced protection: Interlocking slats of galvanized steel, anodized aluminum, and stainless steel roll up in a coil above the wall opening. This design provides security against unwanted entry and weather protection in outdoor applications.
• Compact design: We manufacture these doors to fit exact opening specifications with smaller, more sleek hoods, guides, slats, and brackets. The overall appearance is more streamlined than conventional doors.
• Good for daily use: These doors are durable enough for everyday use in indoor and outdoor applications, from stadiums and arenas to school cafeterias and healthcare offices.
• Fully customizable: We can custom-build an insulated roll-up door to your specifications, including ones that easily fit into existing openings.

Along with the added benefit of, you guessed it, insulation – to quiet noise and keep the area warm or cool with its ASTM E90 certification.

Because the PVC back slat holds the melamine foam insulation in place behind the curtain, metal-to-metal contact is not an issue, making it one of our quietest options in operation and for those who install it across a variety of applications. This also has an additional perk of preserving the life of the door’s finish.

Maximizing summertime security

Summer is the perfect time for outdoor events and activities. It's the time of year when we see more outdoor venues operating. One of the most popular venues we see during the summer include concession stands. These mini-restaurants are easily accessible and convenient for those attending an event. 

Although managing a stand sounds easy, there is a lot that goes into making things run so smoothly. When it comes to operating a concession stand, here are a few valuable tips to help owners achieve a successful season:

• Having an easily accessible, convenient location: Make sure your space is easily accessible for customers. When your stand is easy to reach, your consumer rates typically increase.
• Hiring reputable employees: You want to ensure those working behind the scenes will not give away valuable assets like door codes, money, or free merchandise. You also want to maintain good customer service.
• Being prepared for any situation: To be prepared is crucial to being successful. You want to ensure you are ready for what may come next. This can include weather, large crowds, fires, and other unexpected events.
• Having proper security: You want to ensure that your facility is locked up and protected against any event it may encounter when left unattended. Having proper closures can give reassurance that your facility is good to go.
