There are a range of industrial doors available for your business, all of which have different functions that can suit the needs of varying enterprises and the qualities of their premises. Before having, say, a rolling shutter or sliding door installed, it is vital to carefully consider the needs of your business and what door operation would function most effectively for everyone involved. There are numerous questions to ask yourself. How often the door would be opened? Should the door let in light? Is it installed for safety, functionality - or both? Read on to find out more about the types of industrial doors available and which one can fit your business's requirements most suitably.

Roller Shutter Doors

Whilst uncomplicated, roller shutter doors are a very secure industrial door option. Consisting of horizontal slats that are hinged together, it is commonly placed in front of a window or glass area to protect it from vandalism or burglary. As a security system, a roller shutter door can visually blend in too, with the option of it being painted to an existing or new colour scheme to fit in with the surrounding area.

Sectional Doors

Durable and reliable, sectional doors are a secure option that can still be easy to access with the correct authorisation. Rather usefully, sectional doors don’t require any space outside of the garage to open, meaning that they can fit in tight areas and won’t cause damage by protruding outwards when opening or closing. Whatsmore, each panel of the sectional door has an individual connection to the door track, drastically increasing reliability and they can also be fitted with windows, creating a natural source of light in what might otherwise be a dark workplace.

High-Speed Doors

Rapid roll, high-speed doors are an excellent choice for businesses that necessitate quick, frequent movement in and out of their property. They can enhance productivity, eliminate the risk of outside contamination, and improve insulation.

Steel-Hinged Doors

If you’re looking for an even tougher security measure, steel-hinged doors are the choice for you, boasting a virtually impenetrable grilled ventilation system and solid heavy-duty locks. If your business is in a location which suffers from bad weather, steel-hinged doors will also help protect the property from any dangerous conditions.

Sliding Doors

Commercial sliding door installation provides a customer-friendly option to suit your business. Ideal for retail-based businesses, aluminium-glazed sliding doors provide a welcoming entrance and exit for customers. Fitted with anti-intrusion reinforced glass, sliding doors also prevent heat loss and often feature anti-finger trap edges to ensure the safety of customers.

Fire doors

Even with every safeguarding measure, fires are still a possibility, and it is of vital importance that you prepare yourself thoroughly in case such an event happens. Fire doors restrict the spread of flames and smoke, whilst still enabling people to use the doors as a means of escape.
