Commercial buildings demand the very best of materials and building products to assure that the property will withstand the rigors of commercial use. Architects, building owners and commercial land developers will need to purchase the best possible garage door systems for their buildings. Clopay industrial doors have a wide selection of garage doors for commercial applications.

The first step in selecting the best product for a commercial location is to do an accurate measuring of the space needing the garage door. Measurements should include door opening height and width, along with front to back measurements and side to side measurements of the entire space.

After accurate measurements are made, the next step is to decide which type of garage door will best suit the application. Commercial customers also need to consider what type of weather the door will endure. If the building is located in an area with hurricanes, tropical storms or other high wind areas, then getting the right garage door with the appropriate wind load rating is essential.

A Commercial Clopay Garage Door can range in thickness from 1 3/8″ to 3″. Steel strength comes in various gauges ranging from 20 to 27 gauge, with the lowest gauge number being the strongest. Commercial garage doors also are available in insulated or non-insulated models. The best R-value door that Clopay offers is called an Intellicore Door and can offer up to an R-22 insulation value.

Polystyrene insulated doors are available and can offer an R-value of 6.5 to 12.15. Uninsulated commercial garage doors are also available if temperature fluctuations are not a concern. Sizes of commercial garage doors vary with standard doors measuring up to 28 feet 2 inches wide and up to 24 feet tall. Custom sizes can be ordered to meet specific needs.

A Commercial Clopay Garage Door can be ordered in a variety of panel styles including ribbed, raised and embossed, as well as doors with tempered glass window panes to allow for natural light. Clopay offers a range of colors and finishes that include a standard factory finished and a baked enamel option.

Clopay also offers full view aluminum garage doors for fire stations and other emergency response facilities often require a full view aluminum door. Choosing the best commercial garage door like Ace Garage Door Company, LLC, will keep a facility looking great while offering outstanding service, safety, and security.
