Most business owners in Utah might not deem it necessary to choose the right commercial garage door for their operations. But believe it or not, buying the wrong door could cost you quite a fortune, on top of creating a massive inconvenience you’ll have to deal with.
As with all other things you buy for your business, a garage door should be seen as an investment. Whatever amount of time, energy, and money you put into acquiring, installing and maintaining it, you should be able to recoup that same amount in the future.
To help you do this, you need to consider the following when buying a commercial garage door.
-
Durability
Industrial businesses which are exposed to harsh weather conditions or have a lot of traffic passing in and out of their doors rate durability as the most important factor to look for. If you’re like these businesses, customizable sectional doors made from galvanized steel are your best bet.
-
Traffic
For businesses with a lot of traffic going through their premises, such as retail stores, pharmacies, and hospitals, shutter doors or security grilles are a lightweight, flexible solution. They also provide a significant amount of safety to prevent intruders and burglars.
-
Space Requirements
Unlike sectional doors, rolling garage doors do not require a lot of headroom and side room. This makes them the excellent choice for businesses that put a premium on space, such as warehouses, for example.
-
Aesthetics
Among other things, the visual appeal of your garage door can help sell your products and services to your customers. In car dealerships, for example, the use of transparent glass and aluminum garage doors lets people look inside at the products on display.
Whether you are building a new business property or you are retrofitting an existing property with a new garage door, it is important to consider your business’ needs and make a decision based on that.
