Solid roller doors stand firm in their promise. Their features, applications and benefits get us so lyrical and excited that you would be mistaken for thinking we are ringside at a concert or a fight. Why? Because it’s music to our ears hearing how our garage doors react against strangers, weed-eaters, children, construction workers, aliens or anarchists that come “rocking” by.

A garage is the perfect place for a band rehearsal, you know. But how does a solid roller shutter door react differently to an aluminium door offering when thrown with an electric guitar, drum stool or cymbal from an angry musician? Well, that is a question we get asked too often. 

Let’s say that if a drummer practices paradiddles (rhythmic patterns) on aluminium roller doors with the head of a bass player—or a child flings a cricket ball/bat/similar-sized rock at said Aluminium roller shutter door—there’s no guarantee that no damage or dent will occur. 

Due to aluminium’s manufactured 90-degree operation angle and rippled shape, it stands a good chance of not leaving a shiner. But how big can a rock, kick drum, or ego get when operating simultaneously in a boxing ring and a playground like your driveway or the music industry? 

That is a rhetorical question, which is why solid roller doors are an option for an additional layer of durability. It’s for reasons the environment might dictate and for more security, which is obvious. Let’s explain further in this article.

Rolling With The Punches

Solid Doors is the harder of the two champions. Both can more than take a hit, but aluminium is the Macgregor, and Solid Doors is the Mayweather.  

MRD is the gold standard in durability, security, and style. If your business wants to install the toughest industrial door materials on the market, look no further than Solid Roller Shutter Doors. Crafted from robust 75mm galvanised steel slats, solid doors are not your average shutters — they are the surgeons in the ring. The other is the GP.  

Solid vs. Aluminium

While aluminium certainly has its merits – it is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install – it simply can’t match the durability and security of galvanised steel. Solid roller doors stand firm, easily shrugging off bumps and bruises like Dricus. While aluminium may offer ample protection against the elements, it pales compared to galvanisation’s robust rust resistance. 

Let’s face it—something is oh-so-satisfying about the solid thud of a steel door closing. Like Jake Paul when he meets the floor after a galvanised Tyson this July on Netflix

Galvanised to Perfection: The Hot-Dip Method applied to Solid Roller Doors.

What makes solid roller doors stand out from the contenders like Tyson or Usyk? It all starts with the galvanisation process. He came from the rough part of town. You see, these doors aren’t just coated with a thin layer of protection — no, they’re hot-dipped in a molten bath of zinc and chaos, creating a bond as strong as it is rust-resistant over time. 

This hot-dip method ensures that every nook and cranny of the steel-punched slats bears a thorough coat, providing unmatched durability against the elements. 

So whether it’s rain, shine, or a windgat influencer – your Solid Roller Doors will stand tall and proud like a God of War, ready to face whatever force or interference is thrown it’s way.
