Sectional Overhead Door Installation at Warehouse unit in Exeter
Recently, we completed the installation of a sectional overhead door within a warehouse unit at Marsh Barton Industrial Estate in Exeter.
The decision to opt for this particular door was guided by a desire to ensure optimal functionality and durability, as well as keeping the unit as energy efficient as possible.
How sectional doors help with energy efficiency
Sectional doors help enhance energy efficiency within industrial settings by acting as a solid barrier against heat transfer. Crafted with insulated panels and precision-engineered seals, these doors create a protective shield, minimizing the escape of heated or cooled air from indoor spaces.
By sealing off entry points, sectional doors help maintain stable indoor temperatures, and reduce the need for lots of heating or cooling.

Why are sectional doors often used on warehouse units?
Sectional doors are frequently chosen for installation on warehouse units, because they're very versatile and practical. That's because these doors slide up and over (rather than rolling up into a box at the top of the opening), leaving the opening completely clear. And this is very handy in warehouse environments where unobstructed access is essential for the smooth flow of goods and materials.
Additionally, sectional doors provide outstanding durability and security, and that makes them really well-suited for the robust demands of warehouse operations where heavy-duty usage is commonplace.

Benefits of Sectional Overhead Doors
Here are some of the pros of sectional overhead doors:
- Weather Resistance: Sectional overhead doors are designed with weather-sealed panels and galvanized steel components, which makes them very durable and resistant against harsh weather conditions such as rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. This feature helps in protecting the interior of the warehouse from adverse weather, maintaining a stable environment for stored goods and equipment.
- Noise Reduction: The insulated panels not only provide thermal insulation but also aid in reducing external noise transmission into the warehouse unit.
- Durability and Strength: The construction of the door, including the use of galvanized steel sheets and reinforced panels, enhances its structural integrity and resistance to impacts. This durability ensures a longer lifespan for it, reducing the need for unplanned maintenance and replacement, and ultimately lowering overall operating costs.
- Customizable Design: The sectional overhead door is designed with pre-punched galvanized steel end caps and aluminum retainers, allowing for easy installation and customization to fit specific warehouse requirements. This flexibility in design ensures that the door can be tailored to suit different door openings and aesthetic preferences.
- Thermal Performance: With a low 'U' value of 0.6 W/m2 K, the sectional overhead door effectively minimizes heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the warehouse unit. This thermal performance helps in maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, reducing heating and cooling expenses, and providing a comfortable working environment for personnel.
Elevating Efficiency and Security
The installation of the new sectional overhead door in the warehouse unit at Otter Court, improves the unit's operational efficiency and security. With their versatile design and exceptional durability, these doors are a modern solution that helps provide a safe and productive working environment.
We believe that the adoption of sectional overhead doors is a great way to modernise warehouse facilities, because they help with energy conservation and enhance operational safety.
This is one example of work we've been doing on industrial units. We've also been retrofitting other industrial units with more energy efficient roller shutters.
