Topic Overview

Hundreds of new and remodeled automotive dealership facilities open across North America every year.  Rising construction costs combined with pressure for automobile brands to maintain corporate building standards and compete for buyers‘ attention makes it challenging for owners to maintain the construction budget while creating a highly functional and aesthetic building. 

When it comes to selecting roll-up doors for the project, it is best to adopt a surgical approach. Rather than picking the same and least expensive door as a one size fits all solution for every door opening, it is ultimately more cost effective to survey individual openings, including location, who and how it will be used, which will result in specifying the ideal door in each opening and over time, saving on unnecessary maintenance costs. 

For this article, we are showing examples of five primary locations in retail automotive facilities where roll-up doors are located and will suggest a door that matches the specifications required for the location.
