Most homeowners open and close their garage doors two to four times a day. This does not even come close to the number of times commercial garage doors are used daily or yearly. Therefore, it is crucial to select a strong, durable, functional, and safe commercial garage door for your business.
In order to understand what your commercial garage door needs are, you need to ask yourself some questions.
How will the door open? With commercial garage doors, you can have them open on a track, similar to residential doors where they curve horizontally above a work area. Another option, which many businesses use are vertically opening doors. In this type of setup, the door moves upward on the door tracks and does not enter any other work spaces. Pro-tip: If you opt for an automatic door, make sure the opener you select is rated for the door’s weight and is durable enough to be used frequently every day.
Basic or Feature Rich? There are many features you can add to increase the appeal of your commercial garage door. Some doors include windows, some garage doors can be made entirely of “glass” panels. In addition, you should consider the winter season and whether you desire insulation. Insulated doors will help block out the cold and keep work areas warmer in between open and closing the doors.
What type of Security does Your Business Need? Security is just as much a concern with homeowners as it is with business owners. You want to make sure the door has the right security features to prevent unwanted access to your business and properties. You may also want to provide additional measures and require employees to enter an access code to open and close the door from the outside.
