Are Insulated Roll Up Doors Worth the Extra CostIf you’re pricing out a new loading dock door or other industrial door, you may wonder, “Is an insulated door with the extra cost?”

Read on to learn more about the benefits of insulated roll up doors and how much they cost, so you can make an informed buying decision.

How much do insulated roll up doors cost?

Generally speaking, insulated sectional doors cost about 15% more than non-insulated doors. The exact price difference depends on the door’s size, application and degree of insulation.

Benefits of Insulated Sectional Doors

The biggest reason to buy an insulated roll up door in Washington state is to keep cold air in or out. Many people think insulated doors are only worthwhile for food, beverage or pharmaceutical applications, but any operation that wants to reduce their energy bill can benefit.

  • Insulated loading dock doors instantly reduce heating and cooling costs
  • They also protect your people and products from the elements
  • Some insurance providers offer a discount for wind-load certified doors
  • Insulated interior doors also reduce noise and improve worker safety

We offer insulated roll up doors in a variety of configurations and price ranges. Depending on your needs and budget, you can get a sectional door with foamed-in-place insulation, a rolling steel door, or a high-speed freezer door (just to name a few options).

The roll up doors we sell are sourced right here in the Pacific Northwest, which means you can get the door you need faster, pay less and keep your dollars local. Before you buy an industrial door from an online vendor or “big box” company, we’d appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.

Reduce Energy and Repair Expenses with a High-Speed Door

High-speed overhead doors are increasingly popular. In addition to the wow factor (they open/close in 1-3 seconds), a high-speed door will help you maximize climate control and cleanliness. Because of the rapid opening and closing speeds, a high-speed roll up door is closed 757 more hours per year than a conventional roll up door.

Besides their impressive speed, high-speed doors are self-reinserting. Consider how much time and money you've spent repairing your sectional door over the years. Now imagine that expense was near zero. You can count on a high-speed door to work reliably, day after day, even if forklift operators neglect to open it all the way.

Every week we hear from customers who are happy they switched to high-speed doors. Here are a few examples:

  • We love our new high-speed door.
  • How did I ever survive without one of these doors?
  • and We’re never buying another sectional door!
