Read a little further, as Milennium Roller Doors outlines its 2021 predictions, set to shake up the market.
Solid Doors are still a solid external bet
Solid-steel roller doors will always remain an attractive option, based on the reliability and security that these particular garage doors offer. Particularly appealing to factories, shopfronts, warehouses, commercial properties and exposed shopfronts, the natural strength and durability of solid doors ensure maximum protection from both the natural elements and potential intrusion to your property. As the various degrees of lockdown result in more people working from home and less on-site presence, solid steel roller doors will give you the peace of mind that your property is well-guarded when you’re away.
The Continued Popularity of Perforated Doors
As a roller doors solution that serves both function and aesthetics, perforated doors have always stood out from the crowd. While traditionally favoured by retail stores for allowing maximum store visibility outside of opening hours behind a secure screen, perforated doors have once again reinvented their versatility in 2021. UK Company, Action Shutters highlights the growing trend in perforated doors in British stores as a natural ventilation method, allowing businesses to keep a flow of air going, throughout their business. Good ventilation plays no small part in reducing the possibility of COVID-19 airborne transmission. We suspect 2021 could see a proliferation of the perforated!
Other Specialised Roller Doors Trends
Two particular trends that we are increasingly starting to see a rise in the popularity of, are sectional aluminium doors and fire doors. Commercial doors featuring extruded customized aluminium sections make for a bold design statement, while its flexibility of use allows these types of doors to blend seamlessly into retail showrooms of all types. Fire doors, on the other hand, have become an additional, vital security measure as more and more companies work remotely. In the unlikely event of a fire at your property, fire doors can withstand the effect or flames and rising temperatures for a limited time in which emergency services can be dispatched.
