In most personal plots, it has become fashionable and simply practical to install various versions of the automatic gate, found on sale completely different – swing, sliding or sectional.
Automatic swing gates with their appearance and constructively similar to their analogues, whose sash is customary to open manually. But in the first, the latest electromechanical hinge devices are fixed on the sash, which are similar to shock absorbers installed on most office interior doors with their design. But in the case of the gate, an additional electric motor is used, capable of opening the most severe gate wings in seconds from alternating or direct current. When de -energizing the gates of this configuration, they will still continue to function regularly due to the use of energy in the remote battery. If the latter suddenly sits, then the sash of the gate is easily and simply opened by the use of the muscular energy of a person.
Sectional gates automatically have increased flexibility, since their unified sashs are collected together from individual polymer sections fastened by loops. The best versions made from sandwich panels guarantee a high level of thermal insulation inside the garage, if it, of course, has ready-made three walls and a roof.
If you order sectional gates with additional rubber seals, then inside the garage it will not only be warm, but also dry. This option is inexpensive, but it allows you to completely get rid of random drafts in the garage.
Sectional gates are capable of working both from electricity and manual mode. In the latter case, torsion springs are used, appreciated by the fact that they significantly reduce the effects of muscular energy in the process of opening the gate. Top models can be equipped with compact remote batteries.
The sliding gates, as it becomes clear from the name, can roll back along the guides (rails) to the side in a matter of seconds. These types of gates are made from a single steel sash, valuable with their strength and durability. If the personal plot requires extremely strong and high (more than 5 m) gates that can function without the slightest breakdowns for several decades, you can and need to buy and install only sliding versions of the gate.
