While a garage door and an industrial door have the same essential function and might look the same to you, there are some fundamental differences. The easiest way to differentiate an industrial door from a residential garage door is by looking at the building it’s attached to. Other key differences include:
Appearance – Industrial doors are typically plainer, as an aesthetic finish tends to be more of a concern for homes than industrial or commercial buildings.
Height and width – The most obvious difference between industrial and residential garage doors is their size, with industrial doors typically being much larger.
Materials – Industrial doors are generally made of durable materials such as aluminium or galvanised steel to ensure maximum security and longevity. Residential garage doors are available in numerous materials and finishes to cater to individual style preferences and budgets.
Usage volume – Industrial doors are typically designed to withstand higher usage volumes than garage doors. They also tend to operate more quickly and efficiently.
Cost – Industrial doors are generally more expensive to install and repair than garage doors as they are designed to offer higher security, fitted with different openers, and often custom-sized.
