Why Roller Shutter Doors Are Commonly Used 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.

Many business owners choose to have an automatic roller shutter door installed because they are simple to operate. Some automatic roller shutters doors can be operated by pressing and holding a button whilst the shutters roll up or down, whereas others will function by just one button being pressed by human hand but will not need to be supervised whilst opening or closing.

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.

Another benefit of using a roller shutter door on a warehouse or factory is that the building will have sufficient ventilation even whilst the door is closed. The slats in the roller shutter door allow air to circulate appropriately, and some can even be fitted to accommodate air conditioning. Factories can become notoriously hot when all the machinery is in use, so it is important for temperatures to be controlled so as to create a safe working environment for workers.
