Industrial sectional door for industrial buildings, warehouses and loading docks

The Sectional door is the most widely used closing solution for large openings in industrial buildings, warehouses and loading docks. Made up of articulated horizontal sections that rise vertically along side guides and fold under the ceiling when opening, it offers maximum thermal insulation and the best wind and water tightness for large closing surfaces.

FAQs

Can I install a sectional door on a refrigerated loading dock?

Yes. Sectional doors with 80 mm polyurethane panels are an excellent option for positive-temperature refrigerated docks. For docks giving access to freezer rooms, it is recommended to combine them with a dock shelter that seals around the truck when it docks, eliminating air infiltration during loading and unloading.
