A Comparative Description Between an Industrial Garage Door and A Residential Garage Door
As we drive through the different places in our neighborhood, we find so many garage doors with various kinds and styles. But we should make first a clear distinction as to the type of garage doors being referred to in this article.
Well this particular issue deals with the two types of garage doors that we often see around. These are the so called industrial garage doors and the Residential type of garage doors. And in order to give a clear understanding between the two, a comparative description is hereby made to distinguish each one from the other.
There are actually some contributory factors to consider as the variations of these two doors are concerned. In general, residential doors as the term implies are the doors that are found and have become a part of our homes. One of the essential characteristics of these door types are that they compliment the exterior design of our homes and they come in various designs and styles. They are usually used for housing private cars or can simply serve as a storage area.
On the other hand, doors found in the industrial types are quite similar to that of the residential doors. The only difference is their sizes because as you can see, industrial doors are bigger and thereby, capable of holding larger number of vehicles of all kinds.
As far as the materials are concerned, residential doors were traditionally constructed of wooden materials but now, due to modern technology, they have improved and were replaced with other materials like fiber glass, synthetics as well as metal or aluminum materials. For the Industrial door types due to their heavier functional usages, they are usually made of stronger and tougher materials like steel. But these types of doors have more simple and plain surface features as contrast to the Residential door types.
Other distinctive characteristics of these two doors can be viewed also as to the series of times the door is opened. Like for instance, in a residential type, the door could be opened only a number of times within a day while for an industrial type, they are opened several times during the day. For some garage owners, a series of opening or closing operations of their door is more significant so an industrial variation is more preferred.
So based on the different characteristics being presented above, we are able to have a clearer vision as to how the two doors are being conceptualized.
