Industrial doors are specially designed for warehouses and factories. These are wider than normal doors. They allow the passage of vehicles such as forklifts. They also meet specific needs. For example, we mention speed, energy saving, insulation and resistance.

The different types of industrial doors

The roll-up door

The roll-up door consists of a curtain and a horizontal axis. Its operation is simple. The curtain goes up and wraps around the axis when you open the door. It takes place when you close the door.

This model is usually used in professional garages, loading docks and warehouses. It should be noted that it is suitable for small spaces.

The sliding door

The sliding door stands out for its practicality. Here are its specificities:

• Slides on horizontal rails to open and close;
• Installs in high-traffic areas;
• Is usually equipped with a motion detector;
• Opens automatically when a person or vehicle approaches.

Due to its characteristics, this type of door is highly resistant to bad weather.

The sectional door

This is the most common model. It consists of several panels that move vertically on rails. Below are their main advantages:

• Impact and weather resistance;
• Thermal insulation;
• Sound insulation.

The sectional door is often installed in places where temperature and noise must be controlled.

The high-speed high-speed door

The fast door opens and closes very quickly. On the one hand, it limits heat loss. On the other hand, it prevents contamination by dust and other dirt in the outside air. You will find this model especially in the pharmaceutical and food industry.

Criteria to consider when choosing an industrial door

Here are the elements to consider when choosing an industrial door:

• The space you have: For small spaces, it is advisable to opt for a roller shutter.
• Location: An industrial door installed outdoors must have high weather resistance.
• Special needs: A high-speed door would be ideal in a drug manufacturing plant. A freezer door would be perfect for a cold room. A sliding door would effectively separate 2 different environments.
