Sharp-Looking Model 526 Commercial Doors

We'd like to dispel the myth that all commercial doors are utilitarian and, well, drab. Overhead Door Corporation has applied its residential door expertise to create stylish doors for commercial and industrial applications. It turns out that attractive styling can be carried over to the commercial market. Overhead Door and other manufacturers can build very large commercial doors incorporating aluminum or steel, glass and special finishes. Let's examine a few interesting examples.

Overhead Door Aluminum Glass Doors

Many commercial and governmental applications -- firehouses, service stations, retail environments, professional facilities -- are looking for attractive doors that provide good light infiltration and visual access. You can order Overhead Door commercial aluminum glass doors in the 511/521 Series that offer a variety of glazing materials, stile widths, finish options and track styles. These sectional aluminum doors emphasize handsome style as well as durable practicality, providing low maintenance and a long service life. They are made of 6063-T6 corrosion-resistant aluminum sections and galvanized fixtures/hinges. The doors are reinforced by 1/4-inch diameter through-rods on all rails and styles. The two models are:

  • Model 511: Available in sizes up to 16'2" wide by 16'1" high, this model features a narrow center stile to maximize visibility. Glazing options include acrylic, tempered, clear polycarbonate, multi-wall polycarbonate, wire glass and insulated glass.
  • Model 521: These wide center-style doors are available in sizes up to 26'2" wide by 20'1" high. The 521 has an available four-section pass door and offers the same glazing and color as those of the 511. Heavy-duty springs are available up to a 100K-cycle rating. Other important dimensions are:
    • End stile width: 3 5/16"
    • Center stile width: 2 11/16"
    • Top rail width: 2 3/8" or 3 3/4"

  • The Aluminum doors are standard with a clear anodized finish or you can order an anodized finish from Light Bronze through to a near Black. Or you might select from 197 standard powder coat colors or match color to your specifications.

Overhead Door Insulated Steel Doors

A good-looking door for extra heavy-duty application where both sound suppression and thermal efficiency are paramount, the Overhead Door Thermacore Model 596 is constructed from galvanized 20-gauge steel in a textured, flush finish. The Model 596's standard size is up to 36'2" wide by 24'1" high. The door's 2-inch-thick panels incorporate the famous Thermacore construction: a steel sandwich with a polyurethane core that withstands harsh climates and demanding environments. Available in white, gray, tan and brown exteriors and a white interior, the 596 delivers an exceptional R-value of 17.4 and U-value of 0.057. Other standard and optional features include:

  • Sound transmission class 26, meaning it's great for sound control

Amarr Model 3500

The Amarr Model 3500 is a light-duty aluminum sectional door designed for service stations, car washes, showrooms and firehouses. The door features 2" thick extruded aluminum rails and styles, and can be configured with panels made of solid aluminum or single-pane glass. The result is a stylish, clean look in a standard size of 12'2" square. The 3500 is constructed in a single layer with a smooth, clear anodized aluminum finish and bottom weather seal. You can mount the 3500 as a stationary or operational door with several single-paned glazing options:

  • Double strength B-grade glass

Commercial doors engineered with aluminum, glass and powder coatings create new esthetic possibilities for businesses and other organizations. The selection of stylish commercial doors is bound to grow over time as more buyers demand doors that work well and look good.
