The Popularity Of Using Roller Shutter Doors In Commercial Buildings

By Charles Marlowe


There are many good reasons as to why roller shutter doors are used in commercial buildings. The main reason is that they provide excellent security for a warehouse or factory after hours. The strong, steel doors are able to resist high pressure from unwanted visitors. As the correct codes or keys are required to open an automatic roller shutter door, there is simply no way in for a criminal so this can help to reduce the risk of burglary.

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.

Busy warehouses often have a high traffic flow entering or leaving the premises. This means that a traditional door may struggle with being kept in constant use, but an industrial roller shutter door may cope better with periods of high activity. Most industrial doors can withstand the occasional knock and bang from a vehicle reversing into it by mistake, though it will need to be checked regularly to ensure it is safe to use. An automatic door can be opened or closed fairly quickly so as to not have a negative impact on productivity - very little time is spent wasted waiting for the door to open or close.

Industrial doors can also help to reduce noise pollution for the surrounding areas, which is very useful for those factories which are based in a residential area. Whilst the factory workers may need to wear ear defenders in order to protect their ears from noisy factory machines, it makes sense to also protect nearby residents from the noise too.

The slats on the roller shutter door will ensure that the building is sufficiently ventilated at all times, even when the doors are closed. Some roller shutter doors can even accommodate air conditioning. This is ideal for those factories which operate machinery which can become hot when in use, as it can help to control temperature in order to create a safe environment for workers.
