MAXDoor-USA designs and builds custom high-performance vertical lift fabric doors using specialized industrial textiles engineered for durability, flexibility and safety.
Let’s take a look at the specific fabrics that make a MAXDoor tough, sturdy and strong.
Our Fabric Material Selections
PVC-Coated Polyester
- This is the most widely used material.
- Polyester fibers provide strength; PVC coating adds weather and chemical resistance.
- Available in different weights (often 18-40oz) depending on required durability.
Vinyl-Coated or Vinyl-Laminated Fabrics
- Economical and good for general purpose indoor applications.
- Smooth surface and easy to clean.
High-Strength Woven Fabrics
- Kevlar or other Aramid reinforcements may be included in high-security doors.
- Used in harsh environments needing puncture and tear resistance.
In addition, MAXDoor has fabrics for High Temperature, Security, RF-Reducing and Sound Attenuation requirements.
Properties The Fabric in MAXDoors are Designed For
- Vertical lift door fabric must be designed for durability and tear resistance due to repeated flexing during lifts, wind loads and accidental impacts.
- Lighter weight fabrics reduce load on the drive system, enabling fast cycling and lower energy consumption.
- MAXDoors include internal aluminum reinforcements.
- In high-wind MAXDoor models, multiple layer fabrics support large external pressures.
Construction Features of a MAXDoor
- Single or multi-layer panels.
- Sealed or heat-sealed seams prevent fraying and improve longevity.
- In climate-controlled buildings, the fabric may have foam insulation, air-filled pockets or multi-layer thermal barriers.
Who Choose a Vertical Lift Fabric Industrial MAXDoor Instead of One with Rigid Panels?
- Faster opening and closing speeds.
- Great impact resistance (fabric self-resets after collisions).
- Lower maintenance.
- Lighter structural load on buildings.
- Large clear openings are possible.
- Long service life 20-25 years.
