Roller shutter doors are commonly used in commercial buildings due to a number of reasons. Firstly, they provide excellent security for a building once it has been vacated for the day. Many roller shutter doors are made from steel, which is an extremely strong material and is able to resist high pressure. An automatic roller shutter door can help to deter criminals or unwanted visitors from trying to access a property, as there is often simply no way in if the correct codes or keys are not used.
Automatic roller shutter doors are incredibly simple to operate. Very often they are controlled by pressing and holding down a button whilst the door opens or closes, but other doors can operate simply by a button being pressed just once.
The majority of warehouses or factories will have a busy flow of traffic entering or leaving the premises. Whilst a conventional door may struggle with the high volume of traffic, an industrial roller shutter door will be able to cope easily with being opened and closed several times a day. It’s still important though to maintain the door regularly as it is inevitable it will be knocked into by vehicles reversing into it. As an automatic door opens fairly quickly, little time is lost waiting for the door to open or close and therefore productivity can remain at optimum level.
Another advantage to using a specially designed industrial door is that they can actually cut noise levels. This is especially handy if the factory is located near to a residential area. Many factory machines are extremely noisy and will workers may need to wear ear defenders, so if the noise to the surrounding area can be reduced then this can be very useful.
When slatted roller shutter doors are installed onto a factory, this means that the factory will remain sufficiently ventilated. Some roller shutter doors are even able to accommodate air conditioning units too. Many factories require air conditioning, especially if the machinery becomes hot during use, as an even working temperature will need to be maintained for workers.
