People may not always be aware of the commercial door options they have when they’re considering replacing their doors, or when they need new ones. Whether you are building a new facility or looking for replacement commercial doors it helps to know what you have to choose from.
At Authority Dock & Door, we want you to know that you have options. We always take the time to talk with our customers about their needs so we can recommend the right door for their situation. Let’s talk about the various commercial doors that you have available to you for your facility.
Sectional Overhead Doors
Sectional overhead doors are space-saving due to rolling up and down. When they are open, the doors lay flat against the ceiling, completely out of the way. These doors can be customized to meet your needs. They are available with or without windows, or you can choose to include glass-pained sections. They also come in a number of colors.
There are a lot of benefits to sectional overhead doors, including:
- Their repairability: If one section of the door gets damaged, simply fix or repair that section. There’s no need to replace the entire door.
- Their durability: With these doors being made of steel, they will last for many years.
- Their flexibility: You can easily add windows, if you choose, to increase visibility.
Overhead Coiling Doors
Overhead coiling doors are designed to roll into a barrel when the door is opened. They are a great option for warehouses that need to protect the integrity of their products, because they can effectively keep insects and other pests out. These commercial doors come in insulated and non-insulated styles. Overhead coiling doors come in a variety of speeds, sizes, and styles.
These doors offer the following benefits:
- Improved efficiency.
- Temperature control, if desired.
- Lower monthly electric bills.
High-Speed Doors
High-speed doors can open as quickly as 8 feet per second at the highest speed. These commercial doors are a great choice for high-traffic areas around your warehouse. They can also keep out bugs, birds, and debris.
The benefits of high-speed doors are:
- More efficient employees.
- Reduced energy costs.
- An improved working environment
Cold Storage and Commercial Sliding Doors
Research has shown that refrigerated warehouses use 25 kWh of electricity, and 9,200 Btu of natural gas per square foot every year. How much of that energy is wasted because those warehouses have the correct doors installed? Cold storage and commercial sliding doors are the answer to this issue.
Some of the benefits of cold storage and commercial sliding doors are:
- Improved temperature control.
- Lower electricity and natural gas bills.
- More efficient HVAC systems in warehouses.
