Commercial resources have seen a greater need for high efficiency and productivity in recent years. With unexpected labor shortages and a significant increase in customer purchases, having the most productive warehouse possible is more essential than ever. Retail e-commerce sales were expected to pass $5.7 trillion in 2022, with no sign of stopping. As more and more operations rely on warehouses to store, pack and send out their product, it's critical for every aspect of your facility to reflect the productivity standards that you need to meet. 

Commercial doors for warehouses are easy to overlook — however, investing in high-performance and high-speed warehouse doors can make a significant difference at your facility. Doors are essential for quickly moving employees, equipment, and product. A reliable, fast door can make all the difference in boosting your warehouse productivity for better metrics.

Consider investing in a high-performance insulated door when you upgrade your facility's commercial doors. Insulated high-performance doors from Cornell come with a Thermiser Max rolling door perimeter sealing system. With superior air filtration and a secure seal, you can reduce energy costs, improve air quality, and maintain a more comfortable facility. 

In addition to high-performance rolling doors, we offer high-performance security grille models for your space. With a guaranteed 300,000 cycles and high durability, you can protect your building while maintaining visibility and airflow. These high-performance security grilles deliver unmatched operation along with smooth and controlled function. You'll enjoy all the benefits of a security grille with the increased speed and convenience of a high-performance model. 

How High-Speed Roll-Up Doors Benefit Warehouse Productivity

Investing in quality high-performance or high-speed roll-up doors offers many benefits for your warehouse. High-speed roll-up doors' unique qualities make them ideal for boosting productivity around the clock. Fitting your warehouse with high-speed roll-up doors elevates your facility's operation and makes your employees' jobs smoother than ever. 

Fast Opening/Closing Speeds

High-performance and high-speed roll-up doors deliver impressive operating speeds. Enjoy operational rates ranging from 24 to 100 inches per second — much faster than standard-speed rolling doors, which are limited to closing at under 24 inches per second. The faster your door operation, the more efficient employees and traffic will move through your facility. You'll save time when using the doors — time you can invest in other aspects of your operation. 

High Cycle Life

High-performance and high-speed doors are extremely durable — they're designed with a high cycle life in mind. Cornell's high-performance doors are guaranteed between 300,000 and 1,000,000 operating cycles when installed. 

Since high-speed and high-performance doors are used in commercial warehouses with lots of volume, they must withstand heavy use. A high cycle life reduces door replacements, affording you the most out of your investment. 

Improved Security

The faster your door closes and the stronger it is, the better your security. Efficient, high-performance door closures reduce the chances of unauthorized entry. Additionally, a durable, heavy rolling door can latch securely and protect your warehouse from the elements and intrusion. 

Well-insulated high-speed doors made from materials like PVC, steel, and aluminum are strong, resisting breakage and wear. The more secure your facility, the better your operation can run, and the more your productivity can increase. 

Energy Savings

The efficient, fast closure of a high-speed door reduces the amount of air escaping from your warehouse. The more consistent and comfortable your warehouse's temperature, the more money you'll save on heating and cooling. These savings can be put towards other enhancements. 

Additionally, a comfortable, consistent warehouse space improves employee mood, which boosts motivation and productivity. 

Apex® Smart Controller

Every Cornell high-performance door comes fitted with an Apex® SmartController panel. The Apex SmartController assists with streamlining your installation and maintenance needs. It integrates seamlessly with your door, providing you with convenient features for easy operation. Enjoy an LCD screen and plug-and-play wiring with this compact component. You can quickly and easily operate and maintain your high-performance door with the advanced Apex SmartController whenever you need it. 

The Apex SmartController improves the diagnostic and maintenance process for your door. The controller allows for better, more up-to-date diagnostics, letting you address issues when they occur, and reducing downtime and increasing productivity for your warehouse.
