Ultraclear garage doors provide a ton of useable light while giving your building a modern appearance.
Ultraclear Garage Doors: Ideal for lube centers, restaurants and other applications where light transmission and a premium look are important.
Everyone is familiar with your typical overhead door. You know, the plain white insulated bay doors or the polycarbonate ribbed sections you see at every car wash in town.
While these door styles are extremely effective at impact resistance and insulation, their utility comes at a price: They often lack curb appeal and that ‘Wow!’ factor.
Take a look at this video where Kevin explains many of the benefits of our Ultraclear overhead doors.
“As the name suggests, our Ultraclear doors completely transform the look of your building with see-through full vision panels. They give you that pop and curb appeal that you need. ” – Kevin Baumgartner, President of American Garage Door Supply
In a world that’s increasingly competitive, you need every advantage you can get when it comes to making your facility stand out. This is especially true for our customers in businesses such as lube centers, where capturing the attention of traffic driving by is critical.
If you’re unfamiliar with Ultraclear doors, you’ve come to the right place. Below you will find the major advantages of outfitting your building with see through full vision glass overhead doors like these.
There is also a major benefit to the quality-of-life improvement your staff inside the building gain. In a mechanic bay, you can never have too much light. Our Ultraclear doors allow a massive amount of light transmission that makes it almost impossible to cast your own shadow on a sunny day.
Advantage #1: Light Transmission.
In a mechanic bay, you can never have too much light. Our Ultraclear doors allow for a massive amount of light transmission. This means your staff will have a fully illuminated work area on sunny days.
Due to the completely see-through nature of these doors, your customers can also see inside the bay. If you have a facility that has a considerable amount of drive-in and drive-out traffic, this can be very handy for customers as they pull up.
Imagine This: If you have three oil change stalls, and one is empty, your customer will pull up to the empty bay automatically instead of needing guidance from your busy employees. How often do we wish our facility was just a little more efficient?
Ultraclear Overhead Doors provide visibility to your staff and customers, improving efficiency.
Advantage Two: Curb Appeal.
As mentioned earlier, Ultraclear garage doors completely stand out compared to typical garage doors. While there is nothing wrong with a standard polycarbonate or insulated door, they may not be the perfect match for your building theme or marketing plan. Why not dress up your building a bit?
The customer below has a mix of both doors in their facility. They have polycarbonate wash bay doors installed on their automatic and self serve car wash doors, and they opted for the premium look-and-feel of the Ultraclear doors for their lube center. Look at the difference in curb appeal!
Polycarbonate Car Wash Doors (Left) and Ultraclear Lube Bay Doors (Right).
The combination of durability and impact resistance makes the polycarbonate doors on the left the perfect choice for an automatic wash bay door. (We all know how customers like to get real close to those doors with their vehicles!).
The Ultraclear doors on the right give off that premium look that says “Bring us your high-end vehicles, we can handle it!”.
