Sectional overhead doors

Traditionally used in industrial applications where increased insulation properties and weather resistance are required our range of sectional overhead doors can be designed and manufactured to suit a varied range and size of openings.

Functional, durable and highly secure, these industrial doors also have the added benefit of a pleasing appearance which is combined with a seamless ease of operation and control.

Ideal for use in industrial warehouses this type of door can be installed by our team of staff and works by being mounted to the internal face of your chosen opening. These doors also have the additional advantage of retaining a full clear opening width and height for access requirements meaning that they are completely space efficient.

  • Sectional overhead doors are a highly practical solution for commercial and industrial buildings, offering a combination of security, efficiency, and space-saving design. Unlike traditional doors, they open vertically and slide neatly along tracks into the ceiling space, allowing vehicles to park close to the entrance and maximising usable space inside and outside the building. Their insulated panel construction helps maintain internal temperatures, improving energy efficiency and reducing heating costs, which is particularly valuable in warehouses and workshops. Sectional doors are also extremely durable and secure, featuring strong panels and reliable locking systems that help protect equipment, stock, and vehicles. With smooth, quiet operation and the option for electric automation, they provide convenience for daily use, while their tight sealing design offers excellent protection against wind and rain. Available in a range of colours, finishes, and glazing options, sectional overhead doors can also be customised to suit the appearance of any commercial premises while remaining low maintenance and built for long-term performance.

  • Sectional overhead doors are considered a very secure option for commercial and industrial premises due to their robust construction and integrated locking systems. They are typically built from strong steel or aluminium panels that are connected and guided within a track system, making them difficult to force open or lift from the outside. When closed, the door sits tightly within the frame and tracks, reducing weak points that intruders could exploit. Many sectional doors can also be fitted with heavy-duty locking mechanisms, internal shoot bolts, or electric operators with automatic locking features, which add an extra layer of security. Because the panels are solid and the door opens vertically rather than outward, it is much harder to pry or lever open compared to some traditional door types, making sectional overhead doors a reliable choice for protecting stock, vehicles, and equipment in industrial and commercial buildings.

  • Yes, sectional overhead doors are highly energy efficient, particularly when they are built with insulated panels. Most modern sectional doors use double-skinned steel panels with a foam insulation core, which helps reduce heat transfer and maintain stable indoor temperatures. This insulation is especially beneficial in warehouses, workshops, and industrial units where maintaining heat can otherwise be difficult. When closed, the panels fit tightly together and seal around the frame with weather seals, helping to prevent drafts, heat loss, and cold air entering the building. As a result, businesses can improve overall thermal efficiency and potentially reduce heating costs, making sectional overhead doors a practical choice for buildings where energy efficiency and climate control are important.

  • Maintaining a sectional overhead door is important to ensure it continues operating smoothly, safely, and reliably over time. Regularly inspecting the door for signs of wear or damage is a good place to start, including checking the panels, tracks, rollers, and hinges to make sure everything is aligned and in good condition. Keeping the tracks clean and free from dirt or debris helps the door move smoothly, while applying a suitable lubricant to moving parts such as rollers, hinges, and springs can reduce friction and prevent premature wear. It’s also important to check the weather seals around the door to ensure they remain intact and effective at keeping out drafts and water. If the door is automated, the motor and safety features should be tested periodically to confirm they are functioning correctly. While basic checks can be done regularly, arranging professional servicing and maintenance at scheduled intervals is recommended to identify potential issues early and keep the door operating safely and efficiently.
