Commercial Metal Building Roll-up Door Reflective Insulation

As a commercial roll-up door is opened – the curtain of the door is wound around a drum located directly above the door. While this design maximizes the use of the interior steel building space by eliminating the sectional door tracks that would project into the space – it does present a challenge when it comes to insulation. A thick foam or fiberglass insulation would interfere or prevent the roll-up door curtain from wrapping around the drum when hoisted up. The practical alternative is the use of a polyethylene bubble film sandwiched between two protective sheets of strong metalized aluminum polyester film.
