High performance doors have been around for over forty years and got their start as a solution for high-traffic areas within behind-the-scenes industrial applications. Original models were made of heavy-duty fabric panels, and opening speeds were five times faster than conventional rolling steel doors. Demand for modern high performance doors grew within industrial applications where high-speed door operation could accommodate demanding workflow.
High performance fabric doors continue to be a popular choice for industrial applications, while more recently, high performance rigid doors came onto the scene offering fast operating speeds like their fabric counterpart, with the added benefit of security and contemporary aesthetics.
Today, high performance fabric and rigid doors have become a staple for highly visible, and even glamourous applications where performance meets style, such as: parking garages & stadiums, emergency service facilities, and retail automotive.
