Roller shutter door

[snipe]

What’s the widest that I could have a roller shutter door without having to spend silly money on something industrial that won’t cause any problems. Will be about 18ft high.

 

[Steevo]

I have one 22’ wide.

Have you got 3ph?

 

[dirty harry]

I’ve found the wider you go the weaker they seem to become? Got a 20ft x 20ft here which to be fair does face the prevailing weather but is often trouble some....!! Cheers dh

 

[snipe]

Yes we have 3 phases.

 

[Courier]

I have 1 electric roller shutter on 3 phase and 1 on single phase - the single phase door is painfully slow....

 

[snarling bee]

I have some 3 phase ones that are painfully slow!
Cheapskate builders

just put up a 7m wide by 6.2m high, 3 phase, windloks but out of prevailing wind

Oh, and if you can afford to opt for an insulated door. I'll never have a non-insulated one ever again.....not for the insulation, just because it stops the rattle and is far far stronger. My insulated doors are virtually silent when going up and down.

Sectional door is far superior to a roller door

How much more do they cost, like for like?

May I ask why?

I’m not sure but I didn’t find the price of my insulated doors.

 

[Ian01]

Far stronger by design, quicker opening, near silent etc, but they are not cheap so depends on usage of the door I suppose

Sectional doors are better than roller shutters but sit up in the roof space in a frame when open so are vulnerable to damage, don’t have them where you are tipping trailers etc We have them on the workshop though and they are fine there. We have 14 20 x 20 roller shutters, all insulated, I would never bother with uninsulated ones, we had some on our old buildings and they were rattly noisy horrible things and despite the wind locks they were often blow in enough to come out of the runners, just not strong enough.
