Rolling doors

Roller doors open/close by rolling (winding) the slats into/from the upper part of the door. This type of door has several advantages. Because they open vertically upwards, they significantly save space under the ceiling. The doors are suitable for smaller openings and are resistant to impacts. Other advantages include easy operation, good insulation, and safety. Roller doors consist of several parts, which are the slats, guide rails, rolling mechanism, drive, and controls. The horizontal slats that form the surface of the door are made of metal or plastic. When rolling, they are guided in vertical profiles, so-called guide rails. The rolling mechanism consists of a system of cylinders and springs, which allows the slats to be wound into the upper part of the door using a drive (motor or manual crank system). The control is a device that starts and stops the drive, for example, a remote control or a wall or other type of switch. A disadvantage of this type of door can be higher noise during opening and closing.

Advantages and characteristics of roller doors:

• space efficiency and placement,
• opening and closing speed,
• insulation, design, materials, and durability,
• safety features and controls,
• installation and maintenance.

Space efficiency and placement

Roller industrial doors are ideal for locations where space above the door itself is limited. Because the slats are rolled into a compact coil above the door, they do not require much space on the sides or at the top, which allows for efficient use of space. The doors can be installed both outdoors and indoors. For outdoor use, they are usually equipped with a cover box, most often made of sheet metal in the color of the assembled hall.

Opening and closing speed

These doors open and close faster than many other types of industrial doors. This is especially useful in places where quick access or closure is needed. Non-insulated shutters, so-called high-speed doors made of security film, are often used. This type of door is used in warehouses, shops, etc.

Insulation, design, materials, and durability

Roller doors can be equipped with insulating material that helps maintain a constant temperature inside the building. This is important in cases where it is necessary to separate environments with different temperature requirements. The slats forming the door can be made from various materials, such as steel, aluminum, or even plastic. This allows the appearance and properties of the door to be adapted to the needs and aesthetic preferences of the investor. These doors are resistant to weather conditions and mechanical wear, which is important for long-term durability and reliability.

Safety features and controls

Modern roller industrial doors are equipped with safety features such as sensors for obstacle detection. These sensors ensure that the door automatically stops if it encounters an obstacle during opening or closing. Roller industrial doors can be controlled in various ways, including remote control, key or push-button switches, or even integrated into building automation systems via motion sensors.

Installation and maintenance

Proper installation and regular maintenance are key for the optimal function of these doors. Our suppliers always ensure correct installation and carry out regular paid maintenance of the doors at least once a year upon request.

Roller industrial doors are suitable for various environments, including industrial halls, warehouses, garages, commercial buildings, and other spaces where an efficient and reliable way of closing and opening entrances is needed.
