Considering adding a new overhead door onto your building? Whether you’re thinking about upgrading a current overhead door or are planning to install an overhead door in a new location, it can be difficult to figure out which one is right for you.
Choosing the right overhead door can help improve indoor air quality, increase productivity, and help provide a better overall work environment.
When you’re considering both a sectional overhead door and a vinyl overhead door, it’s important to know the in’s and out’s of each type to figure out which one is right for your business.
Sectional Overhead Door
A sectional overhead door is a type of overhead garage door that is made up of panels. When this type of overhead door is open, the panels lay flat against the ceiling, rather than opening inward or outward — which is great for saving space. They can be insulated or non-insulated, and they can also contain windows.
Sectional overhead doors are quick and easy to open and close. They are usually made from steel that creates a highly durable overhead door, and if a section of it gets damaged, many times the area can be repaired, rather than replacing the whole door.
Vinyl Overhead Door
A vinyl overhead door is a high-speed overhead garage door, and it opens substantially quicker than a sectional or coiling overhead door, which can help increase productivity in your warehouse. It is a great fit for heavy traffic areas because it helps keep your workflow steady.
Vinyl overhead doors can be used as on exterior and interior door openings, in loading docks, or as cooler and freezer doors, and they commonly found in buildings like food processing facilities, and warehouses.
Which One Is Right For You?
Is a sectional overhead door or a vinyl overhead door a better fit for you? Each fits different applications better.
If you’re searching for a quick-open, lightweight overhead door that you can implement in a high traffic area of your warehouse, you’ll want to choose the vinyl overhead door. Vinyl overhead doors are great internal doors, but they can also be used as a high traffic exterior door, too.
A sectional overhead door is better suited as an exterior door. With its long-lasting steel construction, it will withstand impact and weather, yet maintain it’s solid structure for years and years. Sectional overhead doors are often used in receiving areas, and they are often found as exterior roll-up patio doors that are made with glass. They serve as a large window and allow for an open-air patio when rolled up.
