Garage Doors for Carwashes
Do you need a garage door for your car wash? If you operate a car wash in Washington or northern Idaho, the answer is absolutely. If for no other reason, you will need a quality commercial car wash garage door to protect your business in the winter months. Idaho and Washington winters can get quite cold, and if you don’t have a reliable garage door to protect your car wash from the elements, that cold could freeze or otherwise damage your sensitive equipment.
There are many other good reasons to have a reliable car wash garage door, even if you’re not worried about the elements. A garage door can provide security, taking away the temptation of potential thieves to enter your car wash and help themselves to your equipment while you’re not around.
Quality carwash doors can be also great noise reducers. Car washes have a lot of moving parts, and those parts can generate a lot of sound during operation. If your car wash is located in or near a residential area, local residents may appreciate you keeping that sound in with a sturdy garage door.
What Types of Doors Do Car Washes Need?
Different car washes may need different types of doors depending upon your priorities for your car wash. Choosing the right car wash doors may require you deciding what features of a commercial door are most important to you and your business. If your focus is on reducing noise or wind or protecting the environment from water runoff, you may need a door with different qualities than if your priorities are security or protecting your equipment from the elements.
At Continental Door Company, we find that the best doors for car washes are often polycarbonate car wash doors. Standard garage door materials are not always the best choice for car wash doors, which are industrial doors that have to stand up to tough conditions like harsh chemicals, wind, moisture and even the occasional impact. A standard metal or fiberglass door may struggle under such conditions, rusting, coming apart or experiencing mechanical failure and requiring frequent and/or expensive repair.
On the other hand, a Polycarbonate and aluminum door is the perfect industrial door for a car wash. It is highly impact-resistant and can weather the occasional hard strike without even a dent — and certainly without shattering. They are extremely difficult to break, making them great for security purposes, as well. They are also corrosion-resistant, which can be extremely valuable in a car wash environment.
On top of all this, Polycarbonate doors provide insulation for your car wash, which means you will have an easier time keeping your car wash equipment from getting cold in the winter or overheating in the summer.
