Selecting the right high-performance door for your parking facility can significantly impact efficiency, security and airflow in your garage. High-performance doors are designed to withstand the daily demands of busy parking structures, with high speeds and durable materials that keep operations running smoothly.
Here’s what you should consider when choosing a high-performance door for your parking facility.
Benefits of High-Performance Doors in Parking Facilities
Efficient and secure parking structures are essential to all businesses, including universities, hospitals and airports. High-performance doors are built for strength, durability and security, making them a logical choice for garages from coast to coast.
Improved Ventilation
Parking facilities need proper ventilation to maintain air quality and ensure the comfort of visitors. The Spiral® VT door is engineered with ventilated slats to maximize fresh air and ventilation while reducing pollutants and odors. The perforated design allows fresh air to flow freely through the parking structure, making it ideal for facilities where air circulation is limited. These doors strike the perfect balance between security and speed while allowing for necessary airflow, ensuring cleaner air for drivers and vehicles alike. High-performance doors also offer fabric options that provide excellent separation from environmental variants, while maintaining traffic flow and control of parking operations.
Natural Light
For underground or enclosed parking facilities, incorporating natural light can transform the environment, making it feel safer and more welcoming. The Spiral® FV® door is a top choice for these environments. It’s made with shatter-proof and scratch-resistant LEXAN slats for excellent visibility and natural light, while maintaining the security of a rigid door. It’s designed with transparent panels that create a more open and brighter atmosphere, which helps drivers and pedestrians navigate the facility more safely.
Safe and Secure
A safe place to park is a chief concern for many people when choosing where to live, work and shop. High-performance doors provide superior security through heavy-duty construction. For example, the Spiral® series doors offer rigid aluminum double- walled slats for security. They also offer fast opening and closing speeds, which help reduce the chance of unauthorized access. The rapid cycle times discourage tailgating, where unauthorized vehicles or individuals attempt to follow authorized ones through the entrance.
Select Rytec door models can be integrated with SmartSurround® Advanced Detection & Alert System that detects and monitors traffic with visual alerts. They can also be integrated with access control systems, helping maintain consistent security even in high-traffic environments.
An Easy Retrofit
As parking structures age, it’s becoming more popular to retrofit older facilities rather than build new ones, especially in urban locations where space is tight. That’s where Spiral high-performance doors can simplify upgrading a parking structure with speed and security. The Spiral® LH® (Low Headroom) and Spiral® LP (Low Profile) doors are especially useful when upgrading an existing parking structure that wasn’t originally designed to accommodate a high-speed door. They’re designed for environments where space is constrained, offering a compact design that fits into tight spaces without sacrificing performance.
The Right Door for the Right Job
Selecting the best high-performance door for your parking facility can make all the difference in its overall function, security and user experience. Whether you need enhanced airflow, natural light or a compact design for tight spaces, there’s a high-performance door designed to meet your parking garage’s needs.
