Steel doors are some of the toughest doors available. They’re durable, reliable, sturdy, strong, and low maintenance. They’re also some of the most energy efficient doors on the market. Many of them come with added insulation. The advantages are clear and abundant, but is steel the best kind of door for your business, or would another type of commercial door suit you better? Let’s dig in and find out.

If you agree with any or all of the statements below, a steel overhead door may be the best kind of door for you.

You live in a region with extreme weather.

Steel is weather resistant; it can hold up well against strong winds, snow, ice, and rain. It won’t rust or corrode when it comes into contact with moisture. Thicknesses and insulation values of steel doors can vary quite a bit. The thicker the steel and the more insulation a door has, the lower your energy costs and higher your indoor comfort will be. Your location will be the main factor in determining how thick your door should be.

You don’t want to spend a lot of time on maintenance and repairs.

We know you’re busy and don’t want to waste time calling the garage door tech to fix problem after problem. Steel garage doors are low maintenance and last a long time. Of course, how long a particular door lasts and how well it functions will depend on how much of a beating it takes and how well it's taken care of over time, but steel doors are strong, durable, and built to last.

You want a door that matches the look and feel of your business.

Solid steel doors can now be selected to suit the functional needs of your building as well as your aesthetic tastes. Choose from various colors and styles to find a door that complements and enhances the look of your building’s exterior.

You have heavy machinery or large vehicle traffic.

Steel is hard and strong. If you use heavy machinery or have large vehicles going in and out of the garage daily, steel may be the best option for you. Tough steel doors can also keep large industrial buildings secure to protect what’s inside.
