Regardless of whether your garage will be a separate building or part of a residential building, you just need a reliable gate. And if there is a need for space saving and automatic control, sectional doors will be irreplaceable for you.
Sectional doors - construction
First of all, I need to say about the elements of the design. This is directly the door leaf, consisting of several sections connected by loops, as well as guides and hangers along which the gate moves. An obligatory part of the design is also a spring mechanism, the purpose of which is to ensure the balancing of the web.
The principle of the operation of garage sectional doors in the movement of the canvas by means of rollers along the guides and rails on the side and from above the opening. In the open state, the whole door leaf is located above the opening inside the garage, that is under its ceiling. There is a variant of vertical sectional doors, if the ceiling height in the premises allows such a position of the canvas in the open state.
Advantages of sectional doors
Among the advantages of such a gate is a rational opening system. They can be installed behind the opening, which makes it possible to use it completely. Also we can not fail to mention the safety of operation, reliable protection against unauthorized penetration, good sealing of the opening and high thermal insulation, as well as space saving.
You can open sectional doors even in very limited space, and you can approach them almost closely. Simple door design and high reliability makes them quite popular. The only requirement for such gates is the presence of sufficient ceiling height in the garage.
High thermal insulation properties allow maintaining an acceptable microclimate inside the garage. So your car will be started in winter easily, and in the summer, rubber seals and parts will not dry up.
Another advantage is that you do not need to throw snow with a shovel before opening the garage, because the door leaf does not open up and out, but up and in. In addition, even an inexperienced driver will not damage the wings and doors of the car about the gate of the garage door when entering and leaving.
Sectional gates with automation allow them to be controlled from the remote control, but in case of power failure they can be opened from the manual control mode.
High protective functions of such gates, in addition to the strength of the sections of the cloth reinforced with metal, are provided by the presence of a powerful bolt lock. This excludes penetration with brute force. In addition, you can install a special latch from inside the garage so that the gate opens only from the inside. This is advisable if the garage is located inside an apartment building.
For greater convenience, it is always possible to install a sectional gate with a wicket door and acrylic windows. This will simplify the entrance to the garage, in addition, the presence of the gate will reduce the load on the mechanism of the gate.
Sectional door types
Sectional gates are most often installed in the garage doorway by private homeowners. However, this version of the gate is not the only one.
There are also industrial sectional doors, which are durable and robust construction with the highest degree of safety. They close the apertures of warehouse, production and subsidiary premises. They are perfectly integrated into any kind of building structures.
One of the varieties of industrial models is the panoramic gate. They shut themselves openings, while leaving room to view the room from the outside. Such gates are assembled from transparent sections. Such gates are in demand among owners of car washes, car-care centers and car dealerships.
