Tailored Design Solutions
From warehouses to parking garages, high-performance doors are designed to meet the unique requirements of various industries and applications. To meet these diverse needs, Rytec designs and manufactures a wide range of door types, including:
- Fabric doors for light-duty applications
- Rigid rolling doors for enhanced security
- Sliding doors for specialized spaces
When considering which models to specify, it’s important to ensure the door’s design elements match the building’s industry classification or application type. Here’s what to consider when specifying doors:
- Aesthetic Elements. High-performance doors are designed with modern, clean lines and high-quality materials that can be customized to match many architectural styles.
- Color Options. Many Rytec doors can be designed with a wide range of RAL classic colors, or they can be custom color matched to seamlessly integrate into the branding and building designs.
- Vision and Ventilation. Select door models offer full vision and ventilation slats, while other models offer partial slats to balance aesthetics with functionality.
As extreme weather continues to affect more geographic regions, high-performance doors must be able to stand up to tough conditions – and Rytec doors are engineered to deliver. The fast opening and closing speeds keep the elements outside and the interior of the building safe and comfortable.
- High winds and hurricanes: Wind bars and locks fortify doors against wind pressure. Some models are specifically designed and rated for hurricane conditions with winds up to 175 mph and small projectile impacts.
- Cold storage: Insulated doors with thermal panels and specially designed seals maximize energy efficiency and minimize the incursion of warm air to ensure consistent temperature control.
- Hot climates: Tinted window panels on full-vision doors reduce solar heat transfer, keeping interiors cooler and more comfortable.
