Commercial High Speed Garage Doors
High speed or high performance doors are not new to the commercial building industry yet recently have gained a lot of popularity due to their efficiency, quick speed and smooth performance. High speed doors come in a variety of types including non-insulated and insulated fabric, rubber and metal models.
Fabric and rubber high speed doors are best for locations where durability, reliability and tight closing is required. These doors are used for interior and exterior applications. They stay corrosion-free and dependable in harsh conditions and high wind areas. They have operating speeds of up to 125 inches per second where environments with control-critical applications are necessary such as food processing and handling, clean rooms and pharmaceutical buildings. These doors are designed to help absorb impact and certain models allow the panel to release without damage to the panel, side frames or bottom bar. The door then self-resets in just seconds.
The metal models offer high-speed operation for parking garages and other high-traffic situations. These doors have a stylish slat curtain design such as full-vision or ventilated panel options which adds architectural aesthetics to commercial and industrial buildings. The low headroom models have options for special track design to fit with as little as 10 inches of clearance and opening speeds up to 100 inches per second allowing for improved traffic flow.
