About Sectional Doors
Sectional doors are the most widely used and versatile closure systems for commercial, industrial, and retail applications. Constructed from large horizontal panels connected by hinges, these doors utilize a robust track and spring system to lift the door vertically, allowing it to retract horizontally overhead, parallel to the ceiling.
This design maximizes both interior and exterior space, and with options ranging from heavy-duty insulated steel to modern full-view aluminum and glass, a sectional door delivers the perfect combination of energy efficiency, security, durability, and aesthetic appeal for any building facade.
Sectional doors are great for applications requiring levels of durability, cost-effectiveness, and overall reliability.
Benefits
Superior Insulation and Energy Efficiency
Sectional doors excel in thermal performance. Because the door is made of large, horizontal panels that seal tightly against each other, they offer a continuous, insulated barrier. Many models can also include think foam insulation for thermal resistance, significantly reducing heat transfer.
This is vital for maintaining stable temperatures in warehouses, refrigerated spaces, and attached garages, which leads to substantial savings on heating and cooling costs.
Maximize Space Utilization
The operating mechanism of sectional doors is inherently space-saving. The door lifts straight up and then rolls back horizontally along tracks parallel to the ceiling, which allows the design to require virtually no exterior swing space, providing vehicles parking right up to the door and maximizing usable area both inside and outside the building.
Cost Efficient Repair and Maintenance
Due to the segmented construction, maintenance is simplified and cost-effective.
If one panel is damaged (e.g., from an accidental vehicle impact), only that specific section needs to be replaced, rather than the entire door curtain, saving time and repair costs. Also, the balanced track and spring system ensures quiet, reliable, and smooth operation, reducing wear and tear compared to other door types.
Customization and Aesthetic Versatility
Sectional doors offer a wide array of design options to match any building aesthetic.With build options consisting of durable steel (insulated or non-insulated), aluminum, full-view glass, or composite materials they can be outfitted for a variety of needs.
These doors can be customized with various colors, finishes, textures, and window inserts, allowing them to enhance the curb appeal/aesthetic look of the access way.
