In the industrial setting, the building materials are under a great deal of abuse. From constant machine vibrations to those impacts that may result from material handling equipment, exposure to chemicals or simply daily, extreme temperature fluctuations – nothing in the facility is safe. The door at the entrance is particularly at risk, as it is the one most likely to be used countless times a day, and often the single component under the greatest stress. That is precisely why the sectional industrial door has become known as the most enduring product on the market, as it’s designed from robust, corrosion-resistant materials to withstand the ravages of your environment. Seppes Doors has developed a complete line of industrial sectional door products engineered with enduring strength in mind so your business can operate smoothly, without interruption, and without the worry and cost associated with worn or damaged doors.
Impact Resistance Against Equipment and Vehicle Collisions
Our industrial sectional doors feature robust construction to defend against inevitable bumps and collision from your equipment and vehicles. Industrial spaces can be busy, chaotic places, and your equipment is always working near your doorways. As such, your doors are highly susceptible to accidental collisions with forklifts, pallet jacks, and many other vehicles and machines. Seppes industrial doors feature heavy-duty, cold-rolled steel panels that deliver exceptional yield strength and superior resistance to denting and gouging. Additionally, sectional doors are less susceptible to severe damage when impacts occur because, when a single panel is affected by a collision, that one panel can often be replaced individually without necessitating the costly replacement of an entire door. We further enhance your industrial doors’ structural integrity with an internal steel rib or structural supports integrated into the steel panel designs, ensuring they maintain a solid shape without adding undue weight.
Corrosion Protection for Harsh Chemical and Moisture Exposure
In industrial environments exposed to harsh elements—such as chemical cleaners, salt spray, or high moisture in seafood and marine operations—investing in highly durable door materials is essential. Seppes’ industrial sectional doors are built with high-strength steel panels protected by an advanced multi-layer paint system, which includes a corrosion-inhibiting primer and a premium UV- and abrasion-resistant topcoat. For the toughest chemical and highly corrosive environments, we offer premium stainless steel panels to ensure maximum lifespan and zero compromise on structural integrity.
Thermal Cycling Resistance Without Degradation
In environments subject to significant temperature shifts, especially between the hottest and coldest months of the year-and sometimes daily-standard materials could degrade, shrink and expand. When building components undergo thermal fluctuations, the pressure can eventually lead to warpage or cracking of the material. Steel can contract and expand but a Seppes sectional industrial door product has a balanced mix of materials that has compatible thermal coefficients, including a well-engineered steel structure that can tolerate these shifts.Weather seals maintain peak efficiency, keeping cold air out and warm air in (or vice versa) during temperature changes. A track mechanism that supports the smooth movement of the door during temperature fluctuations while maintaining the same high level of performance and functionality can be constructed of galvanized steel, ensuring it doesn't affect any part of the door while still holding up to the rigorous conditions of industrial facilities.
Long-Term Mechanical Reliability Through Robust Engineering
In addition to withstanding external damage, sectional industrial doors must demonstrate robust mechanics that hold up to wear and tear during the rigors of industrial usage. Torsion spring counterbalance systems offer hundreds of thousands of open and close cycles and carry your door with equal efficiency every time. Each track is constructed from robust galvanized steel that helps it stand up to continued exposure. Rollers that use steel sealed ball bearings will not need to be regularly lubricated and, even in their most active capacities, will resist wear for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Whether you choose a direct drive or another type of motorized operator for your Seppes sectional door, you will get a product designed to handle continuous use and a proven ability to withstand the test of time. We stand by the durability of all our industrial sectional doors because we believe that’s a primary concern of our Fortune 500 clients.
