One door that caters to the rigorous demands of any industrial or commercial setting while providing visual adaptability is the aluminum sectional door. Although aluminum is a lightweight material, these doors deliver surprising strength, impressive corrosion resistance, and reliable performance in even the most demanding conditions. This type of sectional door is perfect for any industry, including auto showrooms, distribution warehouses, food production facilities and many others that require reliable functionality and a polished look. Seppes Door works tirelessly to provide their clients with the best possible product for its needs, and this can be clearly seen in their aluminum sectional line.
Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio for Reliable Operation
The chief advantage of aluminum is that it inherently supports a high strength-to-weight ratio. While steel is obviously much stronger than aluminum when used in equivalent thicknesses and the proper alloys are engineered, aluminum weighs in about a third of that of steel, for a similar level of rigidity and strength, reducing stress and strain on door springs, cables, power operators and all other moving parts for quiet, smoother operation.
The modular sectional panel structure provides further reinforcement by spreading the forces of impact evenly throughout the surface of the door, thereby resisting distortion even on wide door openings.
The Seppes Door approach relies on strong aluminum alloy with heat treatment and temper finishing to maximize strength and endurance. The 50mm-thick door panels provide enhanced strength against shock and repeated impact at high traffic loading dock bays. The engineering integrity provides you with reliable performance day in and day out without maintenance interruptions.
Unmatched Corrosion Resistance in Challenging Environments
Acidity from chemical gases, salt spray, dampness and detergent used in washdowns are a source of accelerated failure, structural compromise, and rust in steel doors. Seppes Door provides the ideal alternative with aluminum sectional door with its intrinsic protection. Aluminum develops an outer protective oxide film on its surface when it comes in contact with air.
This oxide layer will protect the metal below it from corroding or oxidizing further. Aluminum sectional doors make excellent application in the food processing and maritime industries as well as refrigerated warehouses and areas with moisture or fumes. Additional protections such as anodizing or powder coat finishes applied by Seppes Door increase scratch resistance, improve UV resistance, enhance the aesthetic appeal, and provide increased resistance to chemical exposure, ensuring many years of dependable operation and the minimizing of costs of door replacement.
Thermal Efficiency Without Compromising Strength
Although aluminum is considered conductive, new engineered Aluminum Sectional Doors with the latest advancements in thermal break technology have revolutionized this aspect. These aluminum doors are designed with thermal breaks built into the aluminum panel extrusions, creating an insulation layer between the inside and outside surface of the aluminum. This minimizes heat gain and loss and the occurrence of condensation in climate controlled applications. Aluminum Doors can also incorporate internal insulating cores, like polyurethane foam within the panels.
Seppes Doors offers the option of aluminum doors with internal thermal break technology and insulated core filling to bring you an energy efficient, operational light weight door for various application like walk-in coolers to heated production environments.
Customizable Aesthetics and Design Flexibility
Aluminum sectional doors offer facility owners exceptional design freedom to complement any building's style or image, or to integrate the functional demands with a distinct door configuration. Various door profile shapes are available from aluminum extrusions including flat, ribbed and architectural profiles.
Equipped with clear acrylic windows, these aluminum sectional doors provide maximum light transmission while maintaining structural stability. To match your facility, the door panels are available in any RAL color, various wood finishes, and wear-resistant anodized colors.
