service. If you need doors for your business that are economically priced and
made with exceptional durability, contact the SOS team.
Here are some tips on how to choose a right door:
|
Determine your needs
|
| How many times a day, a month or a year will the sectional doors
be used? |
| What type of traffic is going through the door? What is the risk
of damage by lift trucks or other vehicles going through the doors |
| Is the door insulation an important factor? |
| Do you require natural lighting? (Reminder: more windows means
higher heat loss) |
| What is the level of security required? |
|
Determine the size of the openings, according
to customer specifications
|
The "floor to ceiling" height (or first obstruction) is a key measure. Open the
doors as close as possible to the roof of the building. You must be
particularly careful if you have an overhead crane.
Make sure to have enough space between 2 or more side-by-side garage doors (18
in. or 46 cm are required between each door).
If the doors are electrically operated, it is important to consult with our
engineer to know which voltages are available. Use the highest voltage
available.
