Are you building (or renovating) a commercial space? If you have a showroom, garage stall, loading bay, or large patio space, you’re probably in-need of some overhead doors. The question is, what type of overhead door do you choose?

While residential garages typically rely on traditional sectional doors, commercial spaces have more factors to consider.

There are essentially two types of overhead doors to choose from: sectional doors like you’d typically find on a garage or rolling steel curtains. Before you can decide which one to purchase, you’ll need to the unique benefits each one has to offer.

Both serve the same function, but depending on your needs, one may be better than the other.

Sectional Doors for Commercial Spaces

Sectional doors offer standard function and great durability at an affordable price. These doors are typically made of aluminum and maybe we insulated and double layered to provide additional climate control.

Additionally, there are glass panel doors which feature aluminum framing and a variety of glass types to choose from. Depending on your situation, a glass sectional door can provide extra visibility for safety or scenery.  

Sectional doors are popular for restaurants, breweries, event venues, fire stations, and more.

Rolling Steel Curtains for Commercial Space

One of the best things about rolling steel curtains is that it frees up overhead space. Instead of hanging parallel with the ground and ceiling, an open rolling steel curtain folds tightly in a shutter box that sits above the doorframe.

Rolling steels curtains are silent and long lasting, designed to be opened frequently. If extra haste is needed, high-speed versions are available as well. Like sectional doors, rolling steel curtains can come insulated. They can even be fire rated.
