Automatic gates in the house: advantages and varieties (24 photos)

Automatic gates - modern movable mechanisms that protect industrial or private property from the forbidden entry of people and animals. They help to easily get to their territory, site. In bad weather, the owner of this gate does not even need to get out of the car. In addition, they are able to save heat in the room (garage, warehouses), because when closing they do not have time to release it or are insulated themselves.

The material for the construction of automatic gates can be metal (aluminum, copper) or wood. When the structure is designed to divide the territory, and the protective function plays a second role, even plastic can be used.

Automatic gates for the fence and other rooms must solve the following problems:

• to keep heat in the building by low heat transfer of the sectional web or by the speed of closing (opening);
• save the necessary space;
• guarantee the separation of rooms, for example, in gyms or industrial enterprises.

In construction stores, you can purchase any product of different configurations and purposes, for industrial purposes or household.

Classification of automatic gates

You can divide the gates according to their purpose or according to the principle of action. Based on what they are intended for, the following types of automatic gates can be distinguished: garage, entrance, industrial.

All these devices are closed in different ways, as a result of which there is a grouping according to the principle of movement when closing, opening: sliding, swinging, lifting. Automatic garage doors along the line of movement are divided into up-and-down, sectional, rolling.

Sliding gates

Automatic sliding gates or sliding gates are used in private areas or industrial enterprises. This view, when opened, moves away, moves away to the side. It is great for use in the winter, no snowfall is an obstacle when opening the device.

Among the advantages of recoiling species can be noted:

• save space in front of the gate and inside the house;
• comfortable to use and have an interesting look;
• durable (they are not afraid of any weather conditions).

Sash opening is done by electronic gears. To properly connect the electrical wire, a special circuit is made.

To install the sliding system, you should calculate the spare space and prepare the foundation. It is advisable to place the gate separately from the gate. The design is installed on screw piles, so it can protect against hacking. Such automatic gates are suitable for summer cottages, private houses and country cottages.

Swing constructions

The most popular obstacles are automatic swing gates. They are convenient to install, safe for frequent use and affordable. The device can open outward or inward. The material can be very different (profiled sheet, lining, forged inserts, panels, welded grating, etc.).

Most often, swing automatic gates are equipped with a gate that is placed next to or cut into the canvas.

Swing automatic structures prevail with such advantages:

• ease of use and construction;
• low price (if they are not forged);
• longevity;
• reliability.

In order for the swing automatic systems to last longer, they paint the surface with a chemical compound designed for them, protecting them from water and snow. In the case when the device is installed in the garage, in winter it is necessary to clear the snow when opening.

Automatic swing gates are used for holiday villages, industrial areas and cottages.

Lifting gates

This type of fence is divided into 3 subspecies: roller (roll), rotary, sectional. Their similarity lies in the fact that everyone rises up during opening. They differ in the principle of the mechanism and the location of the canvas at the moment when the gate is open.

Rolling

Rolled garage doors go up. They do not need additional area during installation due to the flexibility of the canvas, because it is rolled up when opened. They consist of lamellas filled with polyurethane foam. The canvas is attached to the shaft, which is located in the upper part and is equipped with an electric motor. At the time of inclusion, the canvas begins to curl on it. On top there is a protective box where the canvas is wound as a whole. For lightweight applications, lamellas are made from profiled aluminum. Since such gates are filled with polyurethane foam, they are not installed in insulated garages. Systems are suitable for country houses, garages, warehouses, shopping centers.

High speed

Shopping malls or public spaces use high-speed roller shutters. They are made of high strength materials (steel, aluminum). When the frame structure is made with metal material, the door leaf is made of plastic, a reliable film. They should directly have a dense rubber contour. Rolling gates have a silent winding mechanism.

Such devices due to their high speed are characterized by minimal heat loss.

Automatic high-speed doors have the following advantages:

• simple installation;
• inserted into any opening;
• able to maintain the desired temperature;
• high throughput;
• good energy saving even with heavy use.

The system is controlled by remote control or mechanically. Such shutters open and close very quickly and are designed for heavy traffic or people. With a properly connected and installed device, the device will perfectly perform its functions.

Swivel

They consist of a rigid shield and have a single unbendable structure for a whole lockable opening. The upper distributors pass through the ceiling, the canvas slowly turns. In the open position, the gates are placed parallel to the ceiling in the center of the room. To facilitate opening, other guides are placed to the center of the structure, so during opening the lower part of the gate protrudes outward of the opening somewhere about a third of the height of the canvas. When installing such an automatic gate device, this must be taken into account. In the closed position, the rigid frame is firmly pressed against the guide frame and perfectly retains heat in the middle of the room.

Sectional

Automatic garage doors are quite in demand.

Advantages of automatic gates:

• they can be created under the opening of various sizes;
• take up little space;
• are considered multifunctional.

The garage does not have to be insulated, since the sandwich panels are made of warm polyurethane foam. Such entry gates practically cannot be cracked. At the moment of opening, the electric motor moves the sections under the ceiling. Often they are endowed with a remote control system. To open or close, you do not need to get out of the car, you just need to press the remote control.When installing automation, keep in mind a possible blackout. It is better to purchase a battery to connect to the system. Automatic sectional doors are used in garages, car washes, workshops.
