What are the differences between rolling shutter doors and ordinary doors

Rolling shutter doors and ordinary doors are one of the common door categories. They have many differences in use, function, material, etc. The following will introduce in detail the differences between rolling shutter doors and ordinary doors from several aspects.

The first is the difference in usage. A roller shutter is a rollable door that opens and closes by lifting the shutter up and down. The opening method of the rolling shutter door is relatively flexible, and you can choose the fully open, half open or slightly open mode according to your needs. An ordinary door is a traditional push-pull or rotating door, which generally requires pushing or rotating the door handle to open or close.

The second is the functional difference. Rolling shutter doors have good sound insulation, heat preservation, fire prevention, anti-theft and other functions. It is composed of multiple layers of materials, and the filling in the middle can effectively isolate external noise and temperature, helping to keep the room quiet and warm. The material of the rolling shutter door also has fireproof properties, which can effectively prevent the spread of fire within a certain period of time. In addition, the rolling shutter door also adopts a special reinforcement design and has anti-theft function, which can improve the security of residences or shops. In comparison, ordinary doors are inferior in these functions. They generally only have ordinary sound insulation and anti-theft functions, and cannot achieve the fireproof and thermal insulation effect of rolling shutter doors.

The third is the difference in material. Rolling shutter doors are made of a wide variety of materials, the most common ones being plastic, metal and wood. Plastic rolling shutter doors are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, dust-proof, and easy to clean; metal rolling shutter doors are durable, corrosion-resistant, and impact-resistant; wooden rolling shutter doors are beautiful in appearance and give people a warm feeling. In contrast, ordinary doors are mostly made of wood or metal. Wooden doors are environmentally friendly and beautiful, and are suitable for family rooms; metal doors are more durable and suitable for commercial places or public places.

The fourth is the difference in installation method and space occupation. The installation of rolling shutter doors is relatively simple. You only need to fix the rolling shutter doors on the door opening and will not take up extra space. In contrast, the installation of ordinary doors requires precise measurement and installation by carpentry or metalworking, and the matching of the door leaf and door frame needs to be taken into consideration, which generally takes up a certain amount of indoor or outdoor space.

The fifth is the difference in service life and maintenance. Rolling shutter doors generally have a long service life due to the particularity of their materials. Its surface is generally treated with anti-corrosion and sun protection, making it less susceptible to erosion by the external environment. The service life of ordinary doors is relatively short, especially wooden doors that are prone to moisture, deformation, cracking and other problems. In addition, the maintenance of rolling shutter doors is relatively simple, and only requires regular cleaning and maintenance of rollers, anti-corrosion coatings, etc.; while ordinary doors require regular painting, door leaf repair and other more tedious maintenance work.

In summary, there are obvious differences between rolling shutter doors and ordinary doors in terms of use, functions, materials, installation methods, space occupation, service life and maintenance. Consumers can choose according to their actual needs and budget when choosing. No matter which one you choose, you should pay attention to purchasing products produced by regular manufacturers and perform regular maintenance to extend their service life.
