Types of Companies That Use Corrosion Resistant Doors

Many companies need corrosion-resistant doors; some of the most prominent companies in this category include:

• Manufacturing Industries are exposed to a high degree of chemicals during the production process and require a sturdy door that can withstand the exposure.
• Laboratories and Research Facilities: due to the constant exposure to cleaning solvents to keep the places uncontaminated.
• Food Processing Industries: that have doors that may be constantly exposed to antimicrobial chemicals and other cleaning solvents.
• Pharmaceuticals, like laboratories and manufacturing plants, require high sterility and are constantly exposed to cleaning solvents and decontaminants.

Types of Materials Used For Corrosion Resistant Doors

There are mainly four types of corrosion-resistant doors favoured by commercial buildings:

Stainless Steel Corrosion-resistant Doors

These doors are made from chromium alloys, which are very resistant to corrosion and staining. They have high tensile strength and are very resistant to fire, impact, and extreme weather. They are mainly found in commercial kitchens, laboratories, and healthcare facilities. 

Galvanized Steel Doors

Unlike stainless steel, these doors are made from zinc alloys, which is just as corrosion-resistant. In this case, the zinc layer oxidizes, preventing the steel layer underneath from suffering any real damage. They are useful in facilities where they would be exposed to high moisture, such as basements, garages, and manufacturing facilities. 

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic [RFPs] Doors 

These doors are made from fibreglass and plastic resin with a foam or wood core for additional strength. Their composition makes them resistant to moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. They are mostly useful for water treatment plants and food processing facilities. Fiberglass doors also work well in coastal buildings and marine environments.

Aluminum Doors [With Protective Coatings]

Aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion on its own, but when coated with an anodizing coating, its resistance is enhanced. Aluminum doors are lightweight and easy to install, which makes them more popular than other corrosion-resistant doors. However, they are just as durable and can be found in warehouses, office buildings, and storefronts in coastal or humid environments. 

How Our Installers Can Help With Corrosion Resistant Doors 

At a-24 Hour Door National, we have revolved our services around satisfying the needs of our clientele. A major part of that desire is that they get the best out of any door type they install. Here are four specific ways a-24 Hour Door National helps with corrosion-resistant door installation:

Corrosive-Resistant Door Installation

a-24 Hour Door National ensures that your corrosion-resistant doors are precisely installed, fitted, and sealed. Precision is important in installing corrosion-resistant doors, as a poor fit can allow corrosive elements to begin working in the gaps left. Our quality installation service guarantees the doors’ durability. 

Corrosive-Resistant Door Maintenance

Regular maintenance is also important to the longevity of the doors; this is part of the service we offer at a-24 Hour Door National. Our maintenance routine includes regular seal, hinge, and coating checks to prevent the effect of corrosion on the doors. Proper maintenance drives the cost that would have otherwise gone to repairs or even replacement.

Customization For Industry Needs

We also customize corrosion-resistant doors to suit the specific needs of the industry. This work includes integrating the doors with existing access control security, automation, and specialized door coating to combat specific exposure. 

Consultation and Assessment

a-24 Hour Door National offers expert consultation and assessment on the best ways to use corrosion-resistant doors. Before installing, our technicians assess the level of exposure the door will likely face and the kind of solvent that would be the greatest threat to it. This information will influence the coating and can go a long way to secure compliance with industry-specific regulations and standards.
