Roll doors are installed when they want to save a useful space before entering the garage or yard. Or when this place simply does not exist. The rolling of the rolling gate consists of separate lamellas, which are folded around the shaft into a completely compact roll, thereby freeing the opening.
Advantages and disadvantages of lifting roller shutters
As it became clear, the main advantage of such gates is their compactness. They are an ideal solution when there is a problem of a small area of a country house . When there is a need to use a minimum of space, and the installation of other types of doors is impossible, the roller shutters are simply irreplaceable.
Roll without problems is located above the garage opening or entrance to the yard. Roll or roller shutters are good at their main task - protection from penetration and from prying eyes, as well as from unpleasant weather conditions - rain, snow, wind and damage.
Another undeniable plus of the rolling gates for the garage at their low cost. The durability of the construction turns them into a fully profitable acquisition. In addition, the use of such gates is very comfortable, and their installation is not complicated.
Automatic rolling shutters, equipped with a drive and an automatic remote control, makes it possible to control them directly from the machine, which is very convenient.
But there are drawbacks at the rolling shutters. First, do not install them if there is a serious threat of hacking. The fairly light construction of the gate and insufficient resistance to burglary can not withstand the attacks of vandals and robbers. However, if the gates are installed on the garage inside a protected yard area and perform a purely protective function against dust, sun and rain, then their use is justified.
Another drawback is the impossibility of arranging a gate in such gates, so you need a spare entrance to the garage. Moreover, it will be needed if the automation fails.
Roll doors are not suitable when there is a need for a warm, heated garage. In the doors there is a huge number of gaps, so that they can not be sealed.
In winter, the leaflets can undergo some icing, which leads to incorrect operation of the entire mechanism. Accordingly, it is better to install such structures inside warm rooms.
Roll doors do not have a rich choice of design solutions, and they can not boast of a special decoration. You can choose the color you want, and all the other designer's creations will remain inaccessible to you.
Comparing all the pros and cons of the rolling gate, you can come to the conclusion that their choice is advisable if you plan to use them for home or production purposes in cases where saving space and funds is of paramount importance. Security issues in this case should be dealt with by other systems, for example - video surveillance and alarm systems.
Such gates are widely used in indoor garage complexes where there is no need for thermal insulation, and the problem of limited space is acute. Price availability of the gate makes them quite in demand.
What is better - sectional or rolling gates?
Unlike sectional doors, rollers do not require the presence of guides and free space under the ceiling. They are much simpler in design, they can be made for any openings. Sectional same gate is newer for us, not all openings are designed for their installation and use.
Regarding reliability, sectional doors have greater resistance to burglary. Also in their sections, it is possible to install windows and viewing slots, which is not available for rolling shutters.
The choice between these two types of gates depends on many factors, as well as on the preferences of the garage owner.
