A high-quality workshop door should use materials that are durable and suitable for the workshop environment, such as double-layer aluminum alloy and high-density polyurethane foam padding. These materials have excellent thermal insulation, corrosion resistance and impact resistance. For example, SEPPES’s high speed spiral door uses a 0.7 mm thick double-layer aluminum alloy door panel, filled with high-density polyurethane foam in the middle, with a total thickness of 40 mm, and a broken bridge thermal insulation design.

2. Consider door design

And their multi-layer composite door curtains can provide excellent sealing and insulation effects. Seppes provides a variety of door structure options, including turbine suction type, elliptical suction type, vertical lifting type, etc. To ensure that it can adapt to different workshop needs.

Use high-strength door panels and transmission mechanisms, with wind resistance of up to 32 m/s (level 12). And are equipped with turbine suction mechanisms and silent transmission systems.

Surface treatment: Anti-rust treatment and wear-resistant coating can significantly extend the service life of the door.

Quality of mechanical components: High-quality tracks. Wheels and hinges are selected to ensure that they are not easily damaged after long-term use.

Adaptability: Doors should be able to adapt to different working conditions and frequent use. For example,high speed doors can be opened and closed frequently hundreds of times a day and operated up to one million times.

Maintenance needs: Choosing doors that are easy to clean and maintain can reduce maintenance costs and extend service life.

5. Conduct a cost-benefit analysis
