6 BENEFITS OF ROLLING STEEL DOORS:
1. They Take up Less Space
When it comes to commercial and industrial buildings - space matters! Unlike bulky sectional doors that require a lot of room and mount to both the wall and the ceiling, rolling steel doors save significant space by mounting above a door's opening. No more blocking emergency fire sprinklers, decreasing lighting or restricting overhead room.
2. Virtually Maintenance FREE
Did you know that sectional doors have over 40 moving parts that stay exposed to environmental elements such as weather, dirt and debris? These elements add up quickly, and are the root cause for frequent damage. Thanks to the compact design of rolling steel doors, most components are enclosed and protected inside of the barrel assembly! This means no more regularly lubricating springs for easy operations, it's done in factory and prolonged with it's enclosed design.
3. Can Cover Oversized Openings
Unlike many overhead doors in the commercial industry, rolling steel doors can be customized to accommodate oversized openings. These doors come up to 40' wide and can commonly be found in areas such as airplane hangers that require extra large doors.
4. Quick and Easy to Repair
We all know accidents and damage are often inevitable in busy working environments. Thanks to extended service cut outs and a slat compatibility program, repairing rolling steel doors is easier than ever before! No more lengthy repairs and processes to get your door up and running. Rolling steel doors minimize downtime and keep business flowing efficiently.
5. Structural Integrity
Available in painted steel, galvanized steel and stainless steel, rolling steel doors can be customized with different finishes and gauges that offer the appearance and strength that your building needs.
A common occurrence for rolling steel doors that are painted with old school traditional wet paint is the wearing away of paint on the door's surface; that's why we've developed different methods for preventing and reducing paint wear such as our in-house powder coating system. Powder coating is a baked on, super durable layer that helps your door fight against chipping, chalking, fading, cracking and peeling during high cycle applications. With a wide variety of colors to choose from, you can pick a durable color to meet your buildings exact needs!
6. Customizable for an Array of Applications
Rolling steel doors come in a variety of model sizes, colors and options. From premium insulation offerings, motor operations to wind-ratings, fire-ratings and more. We can help you meet codes and requirements in your area, as well as any need for strength, convenience or aesthetics.
