A Sliding Garage Door Orlando is probably the most functional, versatile, easy to use, and secure garage door system that you can buy.
Sliding doors run in tracks that allow the door to slide away from the main garage entrance to a storage point that can be either, to the side of the door’s opening, or in a more distant and remote resting position. The only limitation to where the door can slide to is the length of the track, which is also where we specialize with our Commercial Garage Door Services along with our Residential Garage Door Service
How Sliding Garage Door Orlando Work
Sliding doors are made up of a number of hinged panels that allow them to turn or bend at corners and changes of angle. The panels are connected to each other on their vertical axis and vary in width dependent upon the manufacturer.
Because this kind of door has a sectional construction is means that it can be produced in a massive range of fitting widths, i.e. to increase the width of a sliding door it is simply amended by additional vertical panels.
The sliding door panels are held in position at their top and bottom by runners that engage in a smooth running track. This track runs from the garage opening to the point where the door is stored when open. This may be immediately adjacent to the opening, or at some more convenient location where it does not cause an obstruction.
Most garage doors that operate a sliding mechanism have the track running within the garage, however, it is possible to keep the track in front of the garage and some commercial applications favor this approach.
Why you might want to consider a Sliding Garage Door in Orlando
- A sliding door does not require roof space that could be used for storage.
- A sliding garage door does not need an opening zone within the garage or outside the garage (e.g. like an up and over door).
- A vehicle can be parked directly against a sliding door whilst still leaving the door operational.
- A sliding door does not need to be a perfect fit for the opening (like most other door types) as it needs to project a short distance on either side of the opening.
- Sliding doors are easy to operate because the mass of the door is supported vertically on a track. For this reason, they require very little effort to move and this makes them perfect for all ages and genders.
- Sliding garage doors lend themselves to good security and there is an extensive range of locks and fittings that can see them not just locking into the track, but also being mechanically locked to a floor or ceiling.
- Sliding doors are perfect for electric automation using a wall-mounted button or remote control. They also have a lower energy requirement than most other door types (where the full weight of the door is lifted by the motor).
- Sliding garage doors are strong and tough and their extensive applications in the commercial sector reflect their long-term durability and reliability.
- Sliding garage doors Orlando come in a range of aesthetic styles that make their sectional construction difficult to detect. They can incorporate glass panels or mimic the appearance of wood and their sectional construction means that they can contain thermal insulation.
- Sliding garage doors are one of only a couple of door types that are able to include a human access, side hinged door, within their sectional construction. This can be a real bonus if the door is regularly used for “human only” access as it enhances security and reduces heat loss.
These doors need a securely fitted track which requires careful pre-installation leveling of the floor to ensure that the track will run smoothly. However, once fitted these doors are usually trouble-free, easy to operate, and require little maintenance other than to ensure that the track does not get clogged with debris.
