Frequently Asked Questions
Loading dock doors sit open for hours while workers move freight around, which sends all the heated or cooled air straight outside and jacks up energy bills fast. Metal dock doors work fine when closed but do nothing during actual loading times. Roll up curtains cover the opening between trucks, then pull up quickly when the next delivery shows up. The Velcro seal keeps temperature controlled air inside without forcing workers to fight with heavy doors or tricky latches. Warehouses see real savings on heating costs just by dropping these between loads. This FAQ covers whether the pull cord lasts through constant use, if Velcro holds in cold temps, and which material fits different conditions.
