Modern Aluminum Industrial Garage Doors Present Contemporary Elegance With Sleek Lines

A garage door is a large door on a garage that opens either manually or by an electric motor (a garage door opener). Garage doors are frequently large enough to accommodate automobiles and other vehicles. Small garage doors may be made in a single panel that tilts up and back across the garage ceiling. Larger doors are usually made in several jointed panels that roll up on tracks across the garage ceiling, or into a roll above the doorway. The operating mechanism is spring-loaded or counterbalanced to offset the weight of the door and reduce human or motor effort required to operate the door. Less commonly, some garage doors slide or swing horizontally. Doors are made of wood, metal, or fiberglass, and may be insulated to prevent heat loss. Warehouses, bus garages and locomotive sheds have larger versions.

Material:
Aluminum garage doors are low-cost, light, rust-proof, and feature low-maintenance. They are prone to denting because aluminum is not strong and they are energy-inefficient since aluminum is a highly conductive material.

Aluminum is a very popular choice for garage doors because it is unique among common metals. It provides reasonable strength and durability, but is much lighter than steel and other hard metals. Here are the pros of aluminum doors.
 

The biggest advantage of aluminum is that it’s much lighter than steel and other metals. This makes it much easier to install the garage doors because the sections aren’t nearly as heavy. Not only that, but this improves the longevity of the entire garage apparatus because less strain is put on the springs and tracks.

Aluminum is also naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. Steel must have inclusions that provide this protection, but aluminum forms a layer that keeps out oxidation and most corrosives. While this layer will not last forever, it improves the longevity of the garage door if you live around salt and moisture.

Since it’s a little softer than steel, aluminum is easy to emboss and design, giving you more options for your home. This attribute makes aluminum easier to recycle.
