Sectional doors are doors that are made up of multiple panel sections that are connected with hinges. Sectional doors open vertically. The design of sectional doors is intended to create more space saving and utilize more room inside the building. The vertical opening of sectional doors helps increase the width of the opening and increase the driveway space. Wheels are attached at the edge of each panel section which run on initially vertical and then horizontal tracks. Vertical tracks are provided on each side of the door so that the wheels can roll the door up or down during opening or closing of the door. Horizontal tracks run along the roof, inside the room, to allow the sections to roll back inside the room and not obstruct the opening. When completely open, the sections sit parallel to the ceiling and when completely closed, the door sits in line with the walls. A high-tension spring system is used to hold the door from drifting down when only partially open. Sectional doors can also be designed to roll vertically straight up the wall if sufficient headroom is available. In case of angled roofs, special tracks can be used to ensure the door panels open in line with the roof. Both insulated and non-insulated models of sectional doors are available in the market.
