Such an excellent solution is automatic rolling gates, which have won a positive response and trust from those who value practicality, reliability and versatility.
About the advantages of rolling gates
The popularity of rolling gates, widely used in warehouse, garage and commercial premises, can be explained by the fact that gates of this type have several advantages:
- They can be applied to almost all garage and street openings, since the minimum parameters are enough to install them.
- No need to open and close the wings.
- The canvas is screwed onto the shaft and is located above the opening in the box, which can be placed both outside, in the opening itself, and inside.
The undeniable advantages of rolling gates include their strength. In the manufacture of aluminum is most often used, so the design is resistant to temperature extremes and precipitation. Proper appearance and corrosion protection is achieved by applying a protective varnish that is applied to the metal layer. Due to the fact that the panels are filled with polyurethane foam, they reliably protect the room from adverse weather conditions, including from low temperatures. By installing an automatic drive with a lifting mechanism, they are easy to control using a remote control.
An important factor influencing the fact that more and more people prefer roller shutters is their modern design, which is definitely important when it is necessary to choose the appropriate roller shutter for the fence. Thanks to the stylish appearance and a variety of color solutions, they harmoniously fit into the overall facade exterior.
When are rolling gates irreplaceable?
In the case of small piers in the room, lack of a lintel, various restrictions regarding the depth of the opening, and the presence of utilities (water supply, electrical wiring) above the opening, rolling gates are almost the only option for decorating the doorway. Also, their installation will be most appropriate if there is a small area in the room or in the garage in front of the entrance and the need to enter from the sidewalk.
The advantages of rolling gates include:
- ease of installation. Installation of the structure does not take much time and effort, and if desired, the gate can be installed independently. In addition, careful preparation of the opening is not required;
- easy transportation. Since the entire door structure with a lifting mechanism, consisting of a box, guides and a canvas, does not take up much space, it is easy to deliver it in the trunk or on the roof of the car;
- universality. They can be installed without any difficulty on any opening;
- quick production. The finished product can be completed within a week;
- optimal cost.The price of the entire structure, both manual and automatic, is much lower than for sectional gates;
- a wide variety of color schemes.
Plus, they can be installed both outdoors and inside.
On the features of choice and disadvantages
As a rule, when choosing a rolling door, there is a need to decide on preferences. The first option is an average thermal insulation combined with poor reliability, in which case gates made of foam-filled profiles are suitable. The second option is poor thermal insulation and high resistance to burglary, which can be provided by insulated roll gates with a blade with extruded or steel profiles. At the same time, sectional doors have both good thermal insulation and average burglar resistance.
The decorative role of rolling gates
If before the decorative value of the roller blind was small, now the situation has changed dramatically. Now this steel structure, distinguished by its compact size, in addition to high protective abilities, can be part of a stylish decor. And all thanks to a large selection of colors and various types of materials. For example, you can pick up roll-up gates with a gate so that they are in the same style and color with the exterior. With the right selection of colors, the roll-up gates are harmoniously combined with the general facade of the room, sometimes being its main decoration.
Under reliable protection

In addition to simple installation and fast production times, garage roll doors have excellent functionality, excellent quality materials and a high level of sound and thermal insulation.

As for strength, they withstand the deformation resulting from damage to vehicles, while not losing their functional abilities, and like the entrance gate, they are trouble-free in any weather and operating conditions.
Advantages of garage rolling gates:

- lighting of the room became possible thanks to the use of special viewing profiles, where there is a transparent polycarbonate insert;
