As a business owner, choosing the right overhead doors for your building is essential. They provide security when closed, convenient access when open, and privacy or visibility as needed for your business. Here’s what you should know about some of the common options.

What Are Some Options for Commercial Overhead Doors?

1. Sectional Steel Doors

These are usually the most durable and secure option, made from several horizontal steel panels with insulation inside. The insulation maintains the interior temperature, muffles sound, and improves fire safety. These heavy-duty doors are the right choice for areas exposed to heavy weather, or when you need to protect valuable merchandise and equipment.

2. Rolling Doors

Overhead DoorsThese are similar to sectional doors, but instead of a few bulky panels, they're made of many narrow slats. They can be steel or aluminum. While not as strong as a more solid door, rolling steel doors are still a secure option. Since they roll up at the top of the doorway instead of sliding along a track when opened, they fit in much smaller spaces.

3. Aluminum Glass

This is an excellent option for those interested in aesthetics and not just security. Lightweight aluminum and glass panels allow a view in and out of the building and let in natural light. You can also choose tinted privacy glass for a one-way view. Glass overhead doors are a top consideration for areas visitors will see, like the front of your building.

4. Security Grilles

Instead of being solid doors, these are sets of bars with openings between them. This means they're lighter than solid doors and allow visibility when closed. They work well for limiting access to indoor areas, such as individual stores in a mall, for protecting shop windows after hours, and for closing off outdoor attractions such as gardens and zoo exhibits.
