Aluminum Sectional Doors: Combining Modernity and Functionality

Written by Jeff Myers | Dec 7, 2015 7:32:17 PM

Is it time to update your garage door? If you’re looking for a new commercial door that will give your building a modern look while simultaneously adding security and strength, an aluminum sectional garage door may be the perfect fit.

 

Functionality

What kind of business do you run? Aluminum sectional doors are ideal for service stations, fire stations, quick lube facilities, automotive dealerships, car washes, and other similar facilities. With these doors, your business will shine inside and out. The large glass panels offer maximum visibility and bring the outdoors in. If corrosion resistance, strength, light, and appearance are your main concerns, this may be the perfect door for you.

 

Appearance

Aluminum sectional doors have wide, squared-off glass panels with aluminum frames, giving them a contemporary look and feel. They’re secure, but at the same time, they provide a large viewing area so those outside can feel welcome and those inside can enjoy the scenery and natural lighting! They can be built to fit many different applications and come in a number of colors and finishes. The glass panels can even be tinted to match the colors of your building. We know that for many, attention to detail can make or break a business. Customize your door to fit your unique space.

 

Durability

The aluminum stiles on these doors are engineered to ensure strength and durability over the long haul. They can be designed with strong, thick glass and weather and corrosion resistant aluminum. Some of them are even virtually maintenance free!

 

Insulation

If you're concerned about temperature regulation, some models come with built-in insulation. In general, however, aluminum sectional doors aren’t praised for their energy efficiency ratings. If you’re concerned about energy costs and indoor comfort and if your business doesn’t require large viewing panels and a lot of natural lighting, look into installing a steel sectional door system instead.
