Choosing the right door for your warehouse will depend on a number of different aspects. It will depend on what you store inside, how people gain access within your facility, the kind of foot traffic you receive and much more.
In this piece, we will discuss how these factors come together to influence how you choose the right door for your warehouse.
Storage Aspects
In most cases, what you store within your warehouse won’t affect the type of business door you’ll need. However, in some cases, you might require a very specific type of door depending on the characteristics of the products stored within.
For instance, if you store liquids or organic food products in your warehouse, then there’s a chance that the goods might either freeze or spoil. This is why maintaining a certain level of temperature to avoid the freezing of liquids and the spoiling of perishable items is essential. Here, automatic doors and steel doors would be the perfect option.
Similarly, if you store highly flammable products in your warehouse, having fire doors installed is ideal.
Weather and Location
If your warehouse is located in a residential area, a lot of noise emanating from your surroundings can be disturbing. This is why having insulated doors are perfect to keep the noise pollution at bay.
Every time that your door opens and closes, you lose heat from within the facility. This can then result in more energy consumption to restore the temperature back to normal. If temperature is of great importance in your facility, consider installing high-speed automatic doors that’ll take less time to open and close, preventing loss of heat in the warehouse.
With high-speed swing and slide doors, the products you store in the warehouse will be protected. Moreover, in the colder months, these doors can help maintain comfortable temperatures for working staff who rely on boilers and heaters to stay warm.
Ease of Accessibility
We have seen how high-speed automatic doors are great for preventing heat loss. At the same time, these industrial doors are ideal in warehouses where frequent regular access is required. For fast-paced businesses involving several deliveries and collection on a daily basis, time that’s spent waiting for doors to open and close can accumulate and waste hours over the course of the day. So having doors that provide speedy accessibility is of utmost importance for fast-moving businesses.
If you house goods and products of high value, it will be worth installing high-security Dane shutters to avoid unwanted access. Additionally, you can have a separate pedestrian access.
