There are three main uses for an upward acting sectional door, commonly known as an overhead door or garage door. They are residential use, commercial use, and industrial use. Upward acting sectional doors were originally intended for residential use when they were invented in 1921. These doors are often used in commercial environments without high traffic, high usage, and are pretty clean. Common commercial uses are retail warehouses, retail stores, and low use warehousing. Industrial applications tend to be a fast paced manufacturing or warehousing area such as a food manufacturing plant or an automotive plant.
