Introduction to Aluminium Roller Shutters for Commercial and Industrial properties
A roller shutter door is a popular option for both commercial and industrial purposes. It is made up of steel or aluminium horizontal slats that are rolled around a barrel to open or close the door. The slats can be operated by a spring, chain mechanism, electric motor, or a combination of these.
Customization and Operation
To keep the curtain in place, there are guides on either side. These doors are customized to suit their intended use and have the advantage of vertical operation and a compact design when fully opened. The space occupied by the curtain above the door depends on its height and type of slat used, usually ranging from 200-500mm. In modern times, most roller doors are equipped with an electric motor as it is cost-effective compared to manual operation for various types of doors.
Industrial and Commercial Applications
Industrial and Commercial roller doors typically require a heavy-duty 3 phase electric motor and a robust structure for the endplates and side guides to withstand frequent use and accommodate larger curtain sizes. For roller doors that will be used more than 15-20 times daily, or are particularly wide or heavy, it is advisable to opt for a 3 phase industrial motor drive and overall industrial build quality.
