From adhering to building regulations and maintaining safety standards to managing budgets and minimizing disruptions to business operations, the process demands a strategic approach.

Easy integration, Instant upgrade

More flexibility: Less Structural requirements

Renovation projects often involve navigating existing structures with minimal disruption.

Unlike traditional sectional doors, which require a complex steel framework to support balancing springs and overhead tracks, the Compact Door eliminates the need for such extensive infrastructure. It can be installed using only two fixed posts—made of steel, concrete, or wood—without the need for additional lintels or overhead steel structures.

This not only reduces material costs but also makes it easier to adapt the door to the existing architecture, giving you greater flexibility to work within the constraints of the building.

Replacing roller shutters with a Compact door with wicket door

Replace roller doors with ease

Older buildings often have limited space and structural constraints. Especailly when replacing older roller doors, the Compact Door’s space-saving design opens up possibilities. As compact as a roller door, the Compact door will leave free space for lighting, HVAC systems, or storage, giving you the flexibility to optimize interior layouts.

In addition, the Compact door provides better insulation and more design options compared to traditional roller doors. Add a pass door for easy access or transparant panels for more natural light.

Save energy – Modern efficiency

Replacing older steel or roller doors in renovation projects offers an opportunity to significantly improve a building’s energy efficiency. Compact Doors are engineered with superior insulation properties, reducing heat transfer and creating a more energy-efficient environment. For older buildings where insulation is often lacking, this upgrade can dramatically improve thermal performance, helping to lower energy costs and meet modern sustainability standards.

This textile company was looking for doors for their loading docks. The problem they encountered was that the clothes conveyor belt had to reach all the way to the door. This makes it easier to hang the clothes from the truck on the conveyor belt. Because of all the beams and pipes behind the door, there was really no room for installation. Fortunately, the Compact door offered a solution.
