Currently, rolling gates are considered one of the most reliable means of protection against penetration of unauthorized persons into the garage, warehouse, hangar, industrial premises.
Roll-up doors got their name because they roll up. Their main purpose is to protect door and gate openings from unauthorized entry into the premises. In fact, they are a kind of blinds - roller shutters. Rolling gates consist of slats that are rolled up and wound around a shaft, which is located in a protective box.
This type of gate has no competitors in terms of comfort and practicality. They can block openings that are quite large - 5 m or even more in width and height.
Highlights
Rolling gates are movable slats that are wound on the shaft when opened. The shaft itself is located in a special protective box. Installation is carried out in two ways:
- Outdoors.
- Indoors. This type of installation allows for maximum security, as it has no access from the outside.
Automatic rolling shutters are usually used in privategarages, trade pavilions, warehouses, to protect shop windows.
Main advantages of rolling gates
- The gate does not take up space. The canvas is folded into a box, which is located at the top of the gate opening.
- Roll-up gates - good protection of the premises from prying eyes, sunlight and external factors such as precipitation and wind. In addition, they save space, because they do not need a place to open (they open vertically upwards). Such gates have a relatively low cost and a long service life.
- Roll-up fire doors can easily withstand temperature fluctuations, various precipitation and even significant mechanical impacts.
However, the most important advantage of rolling shutters is their cost-effectiveness, ensured by the simplicity of design, the minimum number of components, easy installation and reliable warranty.
Flaws
Roll-up garage doors have a drawback - the passage is limited in height. However, if the installation of the consignment note, then there are no restrictions on the height and width of the passage.
Decoration
The color of rolling shutters can be very different. If desired, they can be painted in one of the available colors, which will allow the gate to fit into any interior or exterior.
Rolling shutter control
Rolling shutters are most often equipped with an electric drive. You can use a special remote control for remote control.
How roller shutters work
Rolling shutters work according to a simple but quite practical system. Their canvas consists of rather narrow plates. This design allows the gate to be both strong and flexible. The movement of the canvas occurs along the guides located on both sides of the opening. Above the opening is a shaft, which is driven by a special electric motor. Roller garage doors open and close automatically. You can control them using a remote control, the size of which is the same as that of car alarm key fobs. You can open and close such gates without leaving your car with just one press of a button. In emergency cases (for example, if the electricity is turned off or the automation fails), they can be opened manually.
The door leaf is made of steel or aluminum profile. Inside it may be a special polymeric thermo- and soundproofing filler. Therefore, noise does not penetrate outside and external sounds are not heard inside the garage. The benefit of the heat-insulating property is generally difficult to overestimate. Profile height may vary. It depends on the size of the roller shutter, given that they are very durable and easy to operate.
Steel rolling shutters have a galvanized surface. Compared to aluminum, they are even more durable.
For registration of the entrance to the store, located inside the shopping center, as a rule, install lattice rolling gates. The profile of the canvas of this kind - withperforation.
Opening electric rolling shutters takes 10-15 seconds.
Installation
Installation of rolling shutters with the possession of some skills can be done on our own, but mistakes are not allowed here. The presence of any distortions will necessarily affect the functioning and reliability of this design. Despite their apparent fragility, compact rolling shutters are actually quite strong and durable. Installing them even in an unguarded garage will allow you to be calm about your car. In addition, rolling shutters, the price of which is pleasantly pleasing (from 20 thousand rubles), will save not only space, but also time.
