What is a sectional door?
A sectional door opens vertically and slides underneath the ceiling using overhead tracks.
These doors are commonly used in:
- Industrial buildings
- Warehouses
- Workshops
- Logistics centres
- Commercial buildings
Sectional doors are popular because they are compact, insulated and suitable for large openings.
But not every building has space for overhead tracks.
The limitations of traditional sectional doors
In many industrial projects, the overhead track system creates practical challenges.
Especially when there are:
- overhead cranes
- sprinkler systems
- extraction systems
- lighting installations
- sloped roofs
👉 The tracks reduce the usable ceiling space and limit design flexibility.
Traditional sectional doors also rely on balancing springs that require regular maintenance and replacement.
The Compact sectional door: a modern alternative
The Compact door is also a sectional door — but with a different folding principle.
Instead of sliding backwards underneath the ceiling, the insulated panels fold compactly above the opening.
👉 No overhead tracks
👉 No ceiling obstruction
👉 More usable space
This makes the Compact door ideal for buildings where every square metre matters.
Why choose a Compact sectional door?
No overhead tracks, more usable space
The unique folding system keeps the ceiling area completely free.
Perfect for:
- Crane systems
- Technical installations
- Lighting systems
- Tall machinery and storage
👉 Maximise the flexibility of your building.
