  • Types of Sheet Doors

How would you describe what a sheet door is?

A sheet door is an economical way of making a door using a single sheet of metal (Aluminum or stainless steel) with the With the leading edges formed to give the door its strength.

What type of sheet doors do you offer?

We offer Double swinging sheet doors constructed from aluminum, aluminum with laminate facings, or full stainless-steel.

What Is the advantage of a sheet door?

This type of door is lightweight and ideal for fast moving traffic in confined areas such as smaller restaurants, bakery or a gas station. Note: This type of door can become a little flimsy the wider it is manufactured. For this reason, it is recommended to use (2) panels in larger size openings.

What is the disadvantage of a sheet door?

Because gravity doors rely on weight, a sheet door is more susceptible to drifting open if you have wind or negative air pressure. A wider single panel door will have more flimsiness compared to a wood core door.  Sheet doors are not capable of having a full perimeter seal or keyed lock option.

What is the difference between an aluminum sheet door and a wood core door?

The sheet door is lightweight and ideal for fast-moving traffic in a confined area.  The wood core door is going to be less affected by wind or negative air pressure and will hold up better in a more abusive environment

Testimonials

"PAYLON had the quality that was lacking with our previous industrial door supplier. We run a fortune 500 company that relies on zero downtime. The PAYLON industrial door system just lasts longer and is made of better materials. I informed purchasing that if its not from PAYLON, then we don't want it!" - Fred Dixon 

"The PAYLON restaurant doors look great! No one was as helpful or as knowledgeable as your staff and that was a big deciding factor for us. When the restaurant doors arrived the installation was flawless. We now have a restaurant door that we can be proud of and that will last for many years." - Jackie McGarb

"THE BEST!!! Hands Down!!. The doors have stronger build and the steel is the best quality that we have seen. The service is also top notch and we have answers to our questions instantly. You can tell this is a well run company and they have taken care of all the projects that we have thrown at them." - Mike Richards
