Sectional gates очень популярны в европейских странах. А в последнее время спрос на них увеличивается и в нашей стране. Их устанавливают в самых разных местах: в офисах, на промышленных предприятиях и, конечно же, в частных домах. Чаще всего секционные ворота устанавливают на гаражи. Почему же они так полюбились потребителям? Чтобы получить ответ на вопрос, нужно понимать, что собой представляют ворота, а также знать их плюсы и минусы.

Design features of the gate

By their design sectional doors are quite simple. Some sandwich panels, fastened by loops, make a complete canvas. This canvas moves with the help of rollers on horizontal and vertical guides, mounted on the sheet and the inner wall, respectively. When the gate is opened, the sections one by one move along guides into the space under the ceiling.

For each gate individually selected torsion springs depending on the weight of the design. Due to this, the sectional door can be easily raised and lowered manually. But if the gate is large enough (more than 9 square meters), it is recommended to install electric or mechanical drive unit. In this case, they can be opened using the remote control or the fixed switch button.

Sectional door enough durable. Their device is protected from cable breaks by ratchet couplings. Such protection blocks the canvas of impressive weight, preventing it from falling. And in the event of a power outage, electric powered gates can unlock and open with a special key.

The structure of the sectional gate is quite complicated. In the design, some manufacturers provide for the placement of the entrance gate. Although here each manufacturer has its own limitations in size for arranging a small additional entrance.

Pros and once again the pros

The installation of sectional doors gives users a number of significant advantages:

• they can be installed in almost any opening;
• they provide optimum noise and heat insulation of the room;
• safe and easy to use;
• have modern appearance and many colors;
• with proper care can serve without repair up to 20 years;
• save the space both inside and outside the room in which they are installed;
• remote control provides extra comfort;
• opening and closing is quick and easy;
• provide good defense from entering the room.

But the sectional gate has its own limitations. The main one is enough high price. Но это обусловлено использованием при их изготовлении качественных материалов, которые и provide множество положительных характеристик.

Materials for the manufacture of sectional doors

For the manufacture of sectional doors used sandwich panels, consisting of a pair of sheets galvanized iron with insulation in the middle. Various materials can be used as insulation, for example, polyurethane foam or polyester. The panels themselves are made only in industrial conditions. In the same place (in production) they are applied a decorative coating.

In order for the gate to have sufficient thermal insulation, in the manufacturing process, manufacturers get rid of "cold bridges". Achieve this by installing between sections. elastic stoppersthat fit snugly to the panels. A special frost-resistant gasket is attached to the bottom of the door (threshold panel), which does not allow the doors to freeze to the floor during the cold season.

What is the cost of sectional doors?

Such gates are quite popular today, and the competition in the market is great. After analyzing the proposals, it can be noted that the standard sectional doors for the garage can be purchased for about 40−45 thousand rubles. Although the cost is 10 times higher, this is far from standard.

Such a difference in price is due to different variations of the gate finish. A typical standard size option, covered with basic paint shades, is usually the cheapest. If you need a gate of unusual colors, it will lead to appreciation by 15–20%. Finishing wood or forging will lead to a more serious increase in the cost of production.

Is it worth taking up the work yourself

The desire to save money or love for complex technical tasks pushes consumers to develop and install self-made sectional doors. But the implementation of such an idea can lead to negative consequences, such as:

• unforeseen cost increase in progress;
• ненадежность конструкции with indefinite service life;
• frequent breakdowns gate and others

An alternative option in this case may be the so-called constructor. That is, the manufacturer offers to buy components for the assembly of the gate with the attached original drawings. Here the main thing correctly read the diagram and correctly apply to the doorway.

Making a sectional door with their own hands: an algorithm

Gates can be made independently if you have free time and skills in the field of construction. But here it is necessary to clearly understand that such work is laborious and rather difficult. If the desire is not lost, then action algorithm this is:

1. We make welded frame to secure the web.
2. Устанавливаем durable guides.
3. Welded from the corners vertical guides.
4. We make horizontal guides.
5. Welded roller brackets to the frame.
6. We have guides at a small angle.
7. We install the mechanism counterweight.

Secrets of the successful installation of sectional doors

In order for the gate to be strong and reliable, some points must be taken into account during the installation process. For example, additional space is still necessary. It should be from the inside around the doorway: on the sides - up to 45 cm, to the ceiling - about 30 cm.

Begin installation with the preparation of the doorway. Be sure to remove the fragile cladding layer (if any). In case the doors are installed in a garage made of light blocks, must be strengthened metal frame walls.

The main conditions for high-quality installation of sectional doors - precisely exposed vertical opening (without the slightest bias) and tightly fixed to each other details of the structure. The use of polyurethane foam and wooden pegs during the installation of bearing elements is unacceptable.

Compliance with these rules will give a guarantee high-quality installation. And remember, if you are not confident in your abilities, it may be worth thinking about buying the finished gate option.
