Why is the Compact door low-maintenance?
Maintenance costs play a major role when choosing a service door. The Compact sectional door without torsion springs from Rolflex may be slightly more expensive to buy, but it stands out for its low-maintenance design, saving you considerable money in the long run. Here’s why:
No balance or torsion springs
Traditional sectional doors use balance or torsion springs to compensate for the weight of the door. These springs wear out with use and need to be replaced regularly. This entails significant costs:
- Balance or torsion springs should be replaced about every 5,000 cycles, according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. In practice, they usually last up to 10,000 cycles.
- Replacing these springs costs an average of €1000 each time.
- With an average lifespan of 100,000 cycles, this means €10,000 to €20,000 in extra maintenance costs, on top of regular maintenance.
- A calculation example, if you open and close your door 3 times every day, this will cost you €1000 every 3 years, on top of regular maintenance costs.
The Compact door is a sectional door without torsion springs. This not only eliminates maintenance costs, but also reduces the risk of breakdowns and unexpected expenses.
TÜV-tested durability
The Compact door is TÜV-tested for a lifetime of 100,000 cycles. This means years of trouble-free use of your door, without the worry and expense of frequent repairs.
Less wear, lower costs
Thanks to the clever folding system and the absence of wear parts, the Compact door has a lower maintenance frequency than conventional overhead doors. This results in less downtime and lower maintenance costs over the lifetime of the door.
Choose the durable Compact folding door, the best choice for a sectional door without torsion springs, and save on maintenance costs without compromising on reliability and durability!
