Sectional doors - which manufacturing companies should you choose?
With the growing popularity of sectional doors, a huge number of manufacturers of these products have appeared on the market. Domestic and foreign companies offer their products in great abundance.
What should you choose? Who to trust when it comes to quality? This is probably the most frequently asked question right now.
Currently, the palm in the market for the production of sectional doors is held by three main crazy brands
- Concern "Hormann".
- Alutech Group of Companies.
- Group of companies "DoorHan".
They are all different, have different pricing policies and quality indicators. Let's try to look at them in more detail.
Concern "Hormann"- manufacturer of sectional doors
A German company specializing in the production of gates and sliding systems. On the market for over 75 years. The experience gained over all these years allows the company to produce products of very high quality and reliability. Without a doubt, the company's products are not in competition, both in quality and in innovations, which are constantly being introduced into production. All this, coupled with supplies almost all over the world, makes the concern the undisputed leader in the industry. When choosing products Hormann The following points should be taken into account:
Pros:
- Of course this is quality. You won't find better quality.
- Durability. The company's products are designed to last for many years with minimal maintenance.
- Design. One of the best in the industry.
- Repair. Almost all complaints that arise are satisfied.
Cons:
- Price. Gates Hormann not a cheap pleasure.
- Spare parts. Often, if a part fails, you have to wait for weeks.
Production of sectional doors by the Alutech group of companies
Belarusian company. In terms of age, of course, it is somewhat younger than the previous one, but it has quite seriously taken its place in the market and has consolidated its position by supplying its products to all CIS countries and neighboring countries. Is perhaps the main competitor Hormann. The company focuses on quality, creating mega huge quality control departments. Alutech takes previously created elements and components as the basis for its products, only slightly transforming them and customizing them in its own way. It was this policy that allowed the company to achieve good results in the field of quality in a fairly short period of time. When choosing Alutech products, you should know the following.
Pros:
- Quality. It is certainly lower than that of the company’s products Hormann, but it is also at a fairly good level and completely satisfies the consumer.
- Price. Lower than Hormann, which, in comparison with the quality of almost the same level, is a huge plus.
- Spare parts. Always in stock and delivered very quickly.
Cons:
- Difficulties in resolving complaints issues.
- The service life is slightly lower than that of Hormann.
- Not a very wide selection of material designs.
The DoorHan group of companies is the largest Russian manufacturer of sectional doors
This is the only large manufacturer in Russia. Modern equipment and the experience of other manufacturers have made the company one of the most widespread in its segment on the market. Products DoorHan is of lower quality than its competitors, but its price is significantly lower. Widely used for both domestic and industrial purposes. DoorHan most likely can be called a budget brand. Low cost is reflected in the quality of materials used for production. Some metal parts have been replaced with plastic ones, which excludes the possibility of use, for example, in low temperatures. But still, the area of use is quite large. What should you pay attention to when choosing a gate brand? DoorHan:
Pros:
- Price. It is the lowest available on the market.
- Simplicity of design. Opportunity self-installation without special skills.
- Spare parts. Quite affordable both in price and in stock.
Cons:
- Quality. It is an order of magnitude lower than that of previous brands.
- Quality and reliability. Like the price, it’s an order of magnitude lower.
- Scope of application. The possibility of installation in conditions of low temperatures and high humidity is excluded. The reason is the use in production of materials with a smaller margin of safety or the replacement of some metal parts with plastic ones.
Without a doubt, each of the brands will find its buyer in the market. Everyone’s consumer requirements are different and the range of products offered is also different. Based on your needs, you can choose ideal option, both in price and quality. If a gate is needed, say, for a garage with very low traffic, then the products DoorHan will be able to fully meet such requirements. If the gate will operate frequently and carry a certain load, it is better to opt for Hormann or Alutech. In any case, the choice is yours.
