Installing Top-hung Roller Doors

Russco’s Glazing Delivers Seamless Installation of Top-Hung Commercial Roller Doors in Slade Point, QLD

When a growing industrial business in Slade Point, Queensland, required a robust and reliable access solution, they turned to the trusted expertise of Russco’s Glazing. Known for supplying and installing high-quality commercial windows and doors across Queensland, Russco’s Glazing stepped up to the challenge by delivering and installing a pair of top-hung commercial roller doors tailored to the site’s demanding operational needs.

Understanding the Client’s Needs

The client, a locally owned and operated commercial facility in the Slade Point area, needed durable, low-maintenance roller doors for their workshop and loading area. The previous setup, standard swing doors, had become impractical due to limited opening clearance and frequent wear and tear. With frequent vehicle movement and large equipment passing through daily, a more robust and space-efficient solution was essential.

After an initial site inspection and consultation, Russco’s team recommended top-hung commercial roller doors for their smooth operation, minimal floor-level obstruction, and long-term reliability. The client also needed improved ventilation and natural light, which led to the incorporation of translucent polycarbonate inserts into the door panels, a perfect blend of function and efficiency.

The Russco’s Glazing Approach

From the outset, Russco’s Glazing worked closely with the business owners and their site manager to coordinate measurements, design specifications, and installation logistics. The planning phase was critical to ensure the doors would suit the structural requirements of the existing building while offering improved usability and aesthetics.

The chosen solution consisted of two custom-fabricated, top-hung commercial roller doors, each spanning approximately 4.5 metres in width and 4 metres in height. These doors were constructed using powder-coated aluminium frames for durability and corrosion resistance, particularly important given the coastal conditions of Slade Point.

Each door featured heavy-duty, ball-bearing rollers and overhead tracking systems mounted to structural steel beams above the openings. This top-hung system eliminates the need for a floor track, making it ideal for industrial sites where ground-level obstructions must be avoided.

Professional Top-hung Roller Door Installation

Russco’s installation team arrived on-site early in the morning to prepare the area and ensure all safety protocols were followed. With years of experience handling large-format commercial doors, the crew worked efficiently to carry out the installation over the course of two days.

The existing doorways were reinforced, and steel lintels were installed to support the load of the overhead tracks. Precision alignment was essential to guarantee smooth rolling action and long-term performance. Once the tracking system was mounted, the team installed the fabricated panels, tested the rollers, and adjusted the door alignment to ensure a perfect fit.

Despite the scale of the installation, the project was completed with minimal disruption to the business’s daily operations. The client was able to resume full use of the entryways immediately after completion, an outcome made possible by Russco’s emphasis on clear communication, scheduling, and on-site coordination.

Practical, Durable, and Stylish

The final result was a set of robust, low-maintenance roller doors that now serve as a key access point for the facility’s daily workflow. Thanks to the top-hung design, the doors glide open with ease and offer a clean, unobstructed threshold perfect for access and deliveries.

Incorporating translucent inserts into the panels also proved a smart move, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day and enhancing the interior workspace. The powder-coated aluminium finish complements the building’s industrial aesthetic while offering excellent corrosion resistance for the coastal location.
