Modern commercial garages have an immense challenge: providing efficient access for countless vehicles in need of repairs, service and inspections while providing them a safe, controlled space for staff and equipment. The door itself plays a critical role in operational workflow, energy efficiency, and safety. This has made the sectional shop door the standard for such commercial applications, offering a strong balance of durability, insulation, and space efficiency. Seppes Door has applied its engineering experience to fully develop this solution for all types of commercial garages.
Unmatched Durability Against Daily Wear and Tear
Commercial garages are demanding environments for doors and equipment. Vehicles pull in and out throughout the day, and doors can occasionally take a hit from a vehicle or piece of equipment. That kind of abuse requires a door designed to hold up-and for these high-traffic areas, nothing is tougher than a sectional shop door.
Thanks to their solid, color-coated cold-rolled steel panels, robust galvanized steel frames and tracks, and reinforced connection points (which hold up year after year to thousands of opening and closing cycles), these sectional shop doors are more resilient against impact, corrosion, and warping than their single-panel counterparts and many roll-up styles.
Seppes Door adds yet another layer of endurance to these doors by installing high-quality hardware-including heavy-duty tracks resistant to corrosion and rollers that include sealed, self-lubricating ball bearings. This results in a garage door you're going to spend far more time running your business behind and far less time working on.
Superior Thermal Performance for Technician Comfort and Energy Savings
A commercial garage should have the right temperature for work, especially during parts of the year with intensely hot and cold temperatures. Conventional shop doors leak in a substantial amount of heat through the openings around the door panels and the minimal insulation present. The sectional garage door helps fight off those exterior temperatures by providing robust insulating materials within each section. Each panel section contains a dense layer of polyurethane or polystyrene foam that offers substantial thermal insulation and has a higher R-value.
Additionally, the panel joints and Seppes Doors’ full weather seal help minimize air flow around the door. Heavy duty EPDM seals are placed at all sides, top, and bottom of the garage door to prevent any and all air flow from entering when the door is shut. This creates an evenly temperate interior and lowers heating and cooling costs, leading to happier and more comfortable employees.
Space-Saving Design That Maximizes Usable Workshop Area
Every commercial garage needs as much space as possible. This area will be used to fit garage lifts, workbenches, diagnostic tools and vehicles. Swinging doors take floor space by providing swing room. Roll up doors use big space for the coil on top of door.
With this sectional garage door you gain much more space. Sectional door tracks move vertically then horizontally along the ceiling—keeping the opening clear without consuming floor or wall space. The floor space in front and back of garage will remain totally available for the vehicles, the equipment, and staff. Seppes door has customized tracks available, e.g. High Lift Track and Vertical Lift Track for garages of different ceiling heights and building dimensions.
Enhanced Safety Features Protecting Personnel and Equipment
Safety is a top concern in a hectic commercial garage, as employees often find themselves working around hefty trucks, power equipment, and various substances. Sectional garage doors come with integrated safety features that are often unavailable on cheaper or older garage door models. Equipped with a bottom safety edge, the sectional door is designed so that when the door is closing and the safety edge contacts an obstruction, it can signal the operator to stop or reverse, helping to prevent serious injuries or vehicle damage.
In addition, in the event of a door impact from a vehicle, it’s usually just a few panels, not the whole door, that gets damaged and need replacing on this type of sectional door.
With additional options available through Seppes such as flashing lights and an auditory signal, our commercial garage doors help give owners the security and reassurance they need that their workspace and equipment will be protected.
