Would you like to get more functionality from your office garage and make it more energy-efficient? Replacing the garage doors should be a consideration for your renovation project. Overhead doors offer a better value proposition than conventional swing doors. They are economical in space, visually pleasing, and offer higher energy efficiency. What advantages can you get from commercial industrial overhead doors?
Easier Access
The word 'overhead' comes from the fact that the door action is over the door space. The door tilts upward or folds at the top. Conventional swing doors require space to open outward or inwards. But overhead action allows the economy of space.
Overhead doors are easier to operate with electric switches, making opening and closing faster. This ease of access is very helpful in a commercial property like the space garage or a warehouse. A driver can operate the doors solely when coming or going.
Higher Security
Ease of access should go hand-in-hand with high security. Overhead doors lock and seal at the ground, making them a formidable barrier. There are no hinges or open locks to compromise. These doors are made of heavy-gauge steel slats. They are flexible but retain the structural strength of steel.
Higher Energy Efficiency
If your warehouse doubles up as an office space, you must incur costs of heating and cooling. Insulating the doors can help raise energy efficiency, keeping the heat in when it is cold outside, and vice versa.
Various insulated overhead doors designs use foam insulation. They have a higher R-value or insulation capability than normal steel doors. Improving energy efficiency keeps your energy bills low.
Higher Reliability
Overhead doors have very high open and close cycles. Their design makes them flexible and light even though they are made of steel, which would be very heavy as a single slat. Galvanized steel is a durable material. It withstands harsh weather well. Steel does not rust, warp or crack as the weather changes. These doors can withstand powerful storms making the garage an improvised escape shelter when you quickly need one.
Good Visual Appeal
Commercial industrial overhead doors come in various designs, colors, and finishes. You can get custom looks that complement the whole building's design. The exteriors are like blank canvases on which you can express your brand's personality. You can represent your brand in colors, trademarks or logos. The visual appeal catches the eye as your customers go past your premises.
