Structural innovation from the roller doors available from MSD roller doors has varying thickness for doors on different foundations and structures. The most common roller doors in the market include sectional, roll-up, slide to side doors, side hinged, tilt-up retractable doors. 

Other categories of the roller doors include the door material, finish, colour and special options such as windows, insulation and hardware components. The thickness consideration is also associated with the level of the hinges between each panel section that can be bent over a curved portion of the track. These types of features allow a parallel ceiling that is in line with the walls once completely closed. 

High tension springs are attached to cables that are operated once partially opened. The thickness of the roller doors can also be manufactured with insulated and non-insulated models. Roll up doors are designed for built up structures with limited ceiling space and with steel slat sections that roll around a specific drum above the door opening. 

Coiling type doors are manufactured with the intention to withstand heavy usage and high performance, sectional designs prevent rust, corrosion and wear and tear. Side hinged doors can be automated with special conversion batteries or manual roll-up doors. 

Examples of roller doors can include advanced steel doors at shopping malls, airports and factory buildings. Decorative features are appealing when it comes to roller doors, however the functional capabilities have wide expansiveness of the garage door. A consideration of the door being pushed or pulled is also contributed to the thickness of the roller door.

Roller shutter doors are some of the most common protective measures used by businesses around the world to protect their property – they hold the front line in the case of a robbery or harsh elements. In this blog, we’re going to take a quick look at why so many business and home owners rely on roller shutters so much to provide security for their properties.

Strength and durability

Most of our roller shutter doors are made from either steel or galvanized aluminum using a thorough process that ensures the end product is worthy of your time and money. In other words, you’d need some loud machinery to get through these doors, something that scares off most burglars.

Our roller shutters come in several different sizes and variations, from solid corrugated sheets to see-through rolling grilles.

Privacy and security

No matter where you’ve installed your roller shutter door, you can rest assured that it will provide you with the privacy and security that you and your belongings need. Tough roller shutters can be sound-proofed and offer you visual privacy while blocking all the noises from the outside world.

Our roller shutter doors are made from the toughest materials out there and offer you the security you need for your establishment. Check out our spec sheet for more information, or give us a call to learn more about our roller shutter doors.

Protection from the elements

With strong and durable roller shutters comes the added benefit of protection from harsh elements like string winds, hail, and UV radiation. MSD Roller Shutter Doors provide stunning and functional roller shutters that can seamlessly blend in with your property’s aesthetic while protecting your belongings from harsh elements – they’re also highly resistant to corrosion, so you won’t have to worry too much about constant maintenance.

The bottom line?

Even though you most likely fit your property with a strong security fencing, alarm systems and CCTV networks, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t go the extra mile and invest in a quality roller shutter door. We’ve got you covered with that one – get in touch with us today to get started!

In this blog, we’ll be taking you through a quick miniguide about wooden doors so that you can go to the store armed with all the information you need to make a sound decision. You can thank us later!

The difference between regular and composite wood

Most wooden garage doors aren’t made using solid and authentic wood, or even solid wooden panels. Rather, manufacturers turn to sheets of hardwood such as redwood, cedar, and cypress.

These woods are immune to rot and moisture, making them the perfect candidates for wooden garage doors. The sheet construction is used to, among other reasons, prevent warping.

Wooden composite doors are the most popular substitution for whole-wood doors. Manufacturers start by covering a wooden core with a special fiberboard. The fiberboard is made from wood fibers and artificial resins.

The core is crammed with insulation while the entirety of it is finished with a high-density coat that helps make the door resistant to harsh weather while it maintains its natural look and feel.

A little tender, loving care goes a long way with your wooden doors

One of the biggest downsides to wooden doors is that they need regular maintenance and servicing. While manufacturers are responsible for treating wooden garage doors to make them resistant to weather, rot and insects, it’s your onus to ensure that your doors don’t deteriorate with time.

We recommend that you perform a door inspection at least once every year. During this inspection, you should look out for signs of rot (which look like soft spots within the wooden surface), damage and deterioration – also keep an eye out for any insects that are getting too comfy in your doors, especially termites.

You may also want to refinish your wooden doors once in a while. If your door is painted, look out for signs of peeling or fading paint.

The different types of wooden doors

There are three types of wooden garage doors: stock doors, semi-custom doors and fully custom doors. With stock doors, you can only choose from prefabricated options. These are the most basic garage doors and won’t put any unwanted weight on your wallet.

The most expensive type of wooden garage door is the custom door. With these, you can choose everything that goes into your door including:

• Colour
• Trim
• Glass panes
• Finish
• Insulation
• Panel design

Bear in mind, custom wooden doors are reasonably expensive, so you’ll want to properly budget for them first. With semi-custom doors, you can choose the design, panels, and glass panes.

These doors are prices in between custom and stock doors, so they may be your best option if you want something with a bit of personalisation that won’t cripple your bank account.

The different styles of wooden garage doors available to you

Wooden doors are available in several style, many of which are designed to complement different homes. The most popular of these styles is the raised panel wood door. These doors feature floating panels inside a solid frame, or are at least designed to mimic this look.

Contemporary wooden doors are the opposite of raised panel doors. When closed, they seem to be flat and feature no raised/concave paneling.

Carriage doors are the most common historical-style wooden doors. They’re made to resemble the swing doors found in old-world carriage houses. Even though you can still find carriage doors that swing open, most feature the more sensible roll-up construction.

With so many options in the market for you, it may be a challenge choosing a wooden garage door that’s just right for your specific needs. So, we’d like to extend our helping hands to assist you in making the best possible decision; reach out to us today to get started!

The process of electric fence installation isn’t complicated at all; even if you’re not an expert who specializes in this process, it won’t hurt to know how it’s done, especially if you think you can do it yourself. Let’s take a look at  how the pros do it, from planning to completion.

Assess your property

Before you buy an electric fence, you need to first do your homework. To get started, find out whether you’re allowed to use electric fencing on your property by checking in with your local municipality. This will give you all the information you need about your utility line, so you can avoid running your electric fence along these lines.

Once you’ve determined where the electric fence can be placed, proceed to map out the fence’s placement. Look for potential geographical issues like hills, densely wooded areas, or high brush that needs to be avoided.

Measure the perimeter of the fence line and determine what amount of wiring you need for your fence. Once that’s done, you can go ahead and purchase your materials.

Remember, grounding rods will need to be installed within 3 to 10 feet of one another, and you’ll also need connectors and insulators to complete your electric fence. Be sure to spend some time making the right calculations in accordance with your prior planning.

Connect Your Fence Controller

When you install a fence controller, you need to protect all of the electrical connections from any moisture to keep them working properly. Only use insulated cable that’s specifically intended to be used with electric fencing – typical electrical wiring is rated for a lower voltage and will malfunction.

A fence controller must be properly grounded to prevent any electrical shock should it malfunction. To ground the fence controller, we recommend that you install three grounding rods that are galvanized or made from copper.

Each rod should be about 1.8 meters, and you ought to install them within 6 meters of the fence controller. The rods should be driven down 6 feet deep and should be spaced 3 meters apart. Once installed, a ground rod clamp should be used to attach the ground wire to the ground rod. Connect the ground wire to your fence controller.

Fit the Fence Posts

Fence posts are usually spaced from about 6 to 22 meters. This spacing will ultimately depend on your terrain, since a hilly area (or one with curves) would require additional fence posts at smaller increments.

Once you’ve figured out where your posts need to be rooted, you can begin the installation process. Depending on the sort of posts you’re using, you’ll need to dig a few holes. Some fence posts, like metal T-posts, are mostly driven down directly into the ground to properly root them in. Install any insulators that you may need on the posts.

Run the Wires

This step may be different for you compared with others; it depends on the amount of wires you’ll be running along your fence. Regardless, you should always start the wire where the charger will be connected.

Next, run the wires through the insulators on each post. Make sure that the connections between the wires are sturdy – always use wire clamps, connectors, and splices to make proper connections. Once all of the fencing is installed, attach the wires to the charger.

Time for testing

Power up your fence and test it to ensure that it’s functioning properly. Use a voltage meter and check different areas of the fence, as well as each individual wire strand if your fence has multiple strands.

If your fence isn’t getting the right amount of power in your readings, make sure that nothing is interfering with the fence line. You’ll also need to ensure that the fencing is securely held within the insulators and isn’t grounding out on a post, as well as the fact that the charger you’re using is right and proper for your fence’s size.

And there you have it! If you’d like some help installing your electric fence, don’t be too shy to get in touch with us today, we’d love to hear all about your project!

It’s ok if you haven’t, you at least still have something to look forward to!

Whether you’re a homeowner, or the owner of a fine establishment that relies on roller doors for whatever reason, using the right materials for your rollers can have a huge aesthetic and (in many cases) financial benefit on your part.

It’s like knocking down two birds with one stone – improving your property’s aesthetics all the while increasing its value. So, we’ve taken the liberty of creating a brief list of the materials available to you to use on your roller doors – we hope this helps!

Wood

As it has been for a long time now, wood is by far the most attractive and authentic material for garage doors, and is understandably an expensive investment for home and business owners.

Wood is resistant to wear and tear, but needs frequent servicing and refinishing – wood also doesn’t last as long as other roller door materials.

Wood and wooden composite roller doors are very easy to customize to give you the ultimate personalized product. Composite doors offer you the same feel you’d get with regular wood but weigh less and are easier on the wallet. They’re best used on giant double doors.

Steel

The best steel doors are made up of two layers of galvanized steel. They require less maintenance than wood, but are vulnerable to rusting and denting. To reduce the risk to your door, we recommend that you choose a 24- or 25-gauge steel roller, or one with a fiberglass overlay which can resist rust and dents.

Aluminum

Because aluminum is extremely lightweight, this garage door material is best for extra wide double doors. The newer models are sturdier and heavier than previous versions of aluminum roller doors and feature laminated panels that are dent-resistant.

Aluminum doors also come with a steeper price tag if you choose the ones with heavy-duty frames, but you can find cheaper options that have panels made from other materials. These, however, will easily dent.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass is malleable and can thus mimic all of the other materials in this list. You have the option of choosing a fiberglass door that gives you the same benefits as a wooden one, or a transparent one that allows you to work wonders with sunlight.

Fiberglass, however, is susceptible to a degradation that changes its colour and can break easily over time when exposed to cold weather.

Vinyl

Vinyl doors are referred to as the choice child-proof roller door material because it’s extremely hard to dent or break.

Vinyl is a bit like fiberglass in its makeup, but is more durable and only requires the occasional hose-down and scrubbing. The only disadvantage with vinyl is that you have limited colour and design options.

Pro-tip:  Many roller doors are advertised as energy-saving or heavily insulated, but this isn’t necessarily a good thing for property owners. In most cases where homeowners use their garage for storage or parking, insulation isn’t needed and may actually trap harmful fumes and chemicals inside.

Only insulate your garage door if you employ your garage as an additional room in your house.
