Sliding and swing gates are good for everyone, except one: due to their significant overall dimensions, these structures are virtually impossible to install on narrow doorways. So owners of shops and narrow outbuildings located on the ground floors will have to look for other options for gate systems.
The best choice is roll sheets!
Rolling gates are best suited for installation on narrow openings, the fabric of which tends to curl up. When folded, it is placed in a special box., which is mounted at the very top of the door or window opening.
Roll structures are suitable for installation on a wide variety of objects, including on:
- basement windows;
- shopping pavilions;
- seasonal prefabricated structures.
Raising and lowering methods
Depending on its modification, this type of gate system can be raised and lowered using:
- the simplest and cheapest manual drive;
- more convenient and reliable electric drive;
- the most fault-tolerant drive – hydraulic.
Manual lifting and lowering mechanisms are quite unreliable. They may stop working, if any small debris gets into them, eg, the most ordinary pebble. But repairing such mechanisms is inexpensive.. Electric and hydraulic drives are much more reliable - by simply pressing a button or lever, the canvas is rolled up or lowered down. However, they require periodic maintenance, without which the drive may break. And its repair will be quite expensive.
The most important advantages
If we talk about the specific practical advantages of roll structures, then the most important among them are:
- good level of sound insulation. The steel sheet blocks out extraneous street noise well;
- high thermal protection rates. Even in the most severe winter frosts in the garage, equipped with such gates, the air temperature will be positive;
- decent level of burglary resistance. It is not so easy to break or bend the corner of a steel sheet. Open the box lock, to reach the drive and lift the gate manually, it won't be easy either.
The cost of structures of this type is always formed from many factors, taking into account the selected type of drive, fabric manufacturing materials, etc.. So before ordering, you need to find out in detail from the managers of the manufacturer, How much will each option cost?.
