In order to make best use of an investment in a steel roll-up door, it is important to understand engineering design concepts that make these doors so popular.
A steel roll-up door is made of a sheet or curtain of secure, durable steel. The types of steel include stainless steel, galvanized steel or aluminum. Note that the steel of choice may be heavy duty or light weight, depending on specifications for use. Most commonly steel curtain slats are fabricated from 304 stainless steel sheets that conform to ASTM A666.
The design of sheets or curtains of steels requires annealed or cold rolled steel. Steel is cut into variable lengths and widths, rolled and fitted into an overhead coil.
These doors are controlled by electrical wiring that allows them to be raised, lowered and stored in the overhead coil.
The design of steel roll-up doors provides fast, easy access to various types of buildings. The doors travel vertically downward and upward. This allows the door to be gathered neatly and compactly into an overhead coil instead of traveling on sliding tracks.
