How to evaluate the cost-effectiveness when purchasing a rolling shutter door?
As a common building entrance facility, rolling shutter doors are widely used in commercial, residential, industrial and other fields. However, there are many types of rolling shutter doors, and the price difference is large. Consumers often find it difficult to judge their cost-effectiveness when purchasing. The following are some key factors and methods for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of rolling shutter doors:
I. Clarify the use requirements
(I) Functional requirements
Anti-theft requirements: If the rolling shutter door is mainly used for anti-theft, it is necessary to choose a rolling shutter door with a solid material and a safe lock. For example, steel rolling shutter doors have high anti-theft performance, but the price is relatively high
Fire protection requirements: For places that require fire isolation, such as shopping malls, office buildings, etc., rolling shutter doors with fire protection performance should be selected. Although the price of special fireproof rolling shutter doors is higher, their fire protection performance and durability are guaranteed
Insulation requirements: In places with high requirements for insulation, such as cold storage, constant temperature workshops, etc., rolling shutter doors with good insulation performance should be selected. The composite sandwich rolling door is filled with insulation material, which can effectively isolate heat exchange
(II) Use environment
Indoor use: Rolling doors used indoors have relatively low requirements for waterproof and windproof properties, and relatively cheap PVC rolling doors can be selected
Outdoor use: Rolling doors used outdoors need to have good waterproof, windproof and dustproof properties to adapt to severe weather conditions. Aluminum alloy rolling shutter door has good corrosion resistance and deformation resistance, suitable for outdoor use
2. Pay attention to materials and craftsmanship
(I) Material selection
Aluminum alloy rolling shutter door: light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, deformation resistance, beautiful appearance, can be customized in various colors according to needs, suitable for shops, supermarkets, banks, office buildings, garages and other places
Steel rolling shutter door: high strength, durability, safety and reliability, affordable, but heavy weight, easy to rust, suitable for factories, warehouses, freight terminals and other places
PVC rolling shutter door: cheap, waterproof, moisture-proof, fireproof, easy to clean, but low strength, easy to age, suitable for restaurants, hospitals, laboratories and other places
(II) Process quality
Welding process: Check whether the welding points of the rolling shutter door are firm and flat. The welding quality directly affects the structural stability and service life of the rolling shutter door
Surface treatment: High-quality rolling shutter door surface treatment process can improve its corrosion resistance and aesthetics. For example, after being sprayed or painted, the steel rolling door has a smooth surface, uniform color, and good anti-corrosion performance.
III. Comparison of price and performance
(I) Price comparison
Price comparison of the same material: When choosing rolling doors of the same material, compare the quotations of different brands and choose the product with the best cost performance. For example, the price of aluminum alloy rolling doors is generally between 500 yuan and 1,000 yuan per square meter, and the price of color steel plate rolling doors is slightly higher, generally between 800 yuan and 1,500 yuan per square meter
Performance-price ratio: Calculate the price per square meter of the rolling door and compare it with other similar products. For example, the price per square meter is calculated using the following formula: Price per square meter = Rolling door price / Rolling door size (square meters)
(II) Performance comparison
Opening and closing speed: Fast rolling doors have a faster opening and closing speed, which can improve production efficiency and material safety, and are suitable for use in factories and warehouses
Noise level: Choose rolling doors with low noise levels to avoid affecting the working environment and personnel health
Sealing performance: Good sealing performance can prevent dust and moisture from invading and protect the indoor environment
Wind resistance: For installation in places with large door openings or strong winds, rolling doors with strong wind resistance should be selected
IV. Consider brand and after-sales service
(I) Brand reputation
Well-known brand: Choose a rolling door brand with high visibility and good reputation, and its product quality and after-sales service are more guaranteed. For example, the rolling doors produced by Shanghai Junchao Door Industry Co., Ltd. enjoy a high reputation in the market for their high-quality products and professional services.
Manufacturer strength: Investigate the technical strength, production process and equipment level of the rolling door manufacturer. Strong manufacturers can provide more reliable products.
(II) After-sales service
Warranty period: Understand the warranty period and warranty scope of the rolling door, and choose products that provide a longer warranty period and comprehensive warranty services.
Maintenance service: High-quality after-sales service includes timely maintenance services and spare parts supply. Choosing a manufacturer with many maintenance outlets and fast response speed can reduce maintenance costs and time.
V. Installation and maintenance costs
(I) Installation costs
Installation difficulty: The difficulty of installing rolling doors will affect the installation costs. Some rolling doors with special sizes or complex functions are difficult to install and the cost is relatively high.
Installation service: Choosing a manufacturer that provides professional installation services can ensure the correct installation and use of rolling doors and avoid failures caused by improper installation.
(II) Maintenance cost
Maintenance frequency: The higher the maintenance frequency of the rolling door, the higher the long-term maintenance cost. Some high-quality rolling shutter doors have good durability and reliability, and the maintenance frequency is relatively low.
Maintenance costs: including daily cleaning, lubrication, parts replacement and other costs. Choosing rolling shutter doors that are easy to maintain can reduce long-term use costs.
VI. Comprehensive evaluation and decision-making
(I) Comprehensive evaluation
Cost-effectiveness evaluation: Comprehensively consider the function, material, price, performance, brand, after-sales service, installation and maintenance costs of rolling shutter doors and conduct a comprehensive evaluation. For example, the following formula can be used to calculate the cost-effectiveness: Cost-effectiveness = Rolling door performance / Rolling door price
Demand matching: Evaluate whether the rolling door can fully meet its own use needs and expected effects, and avoid excessive or insufficient functions
(II) Decision-making suggestions
Budget formulation: According to its own economic situation and project budget, formulate a reasonable rolling door procurement budget to avoid blindly pursuing high-priced products
Multi-party comparison: After determining the needs and budget, compare rolling doors of different brands and models in multiple ways, and choose the product with the highest cost-effectiveness and meets the needs
Field investigation: If conditions permit, you can conduct on-site inspections of the production environment and product quality of the rolling door manufacturer, and communicate in depth with sales staff to obtain more accurate information
Through the above methods and steps, consumers can more scientifically and comprehensively evaluate the cost-effectiveness of rolling doors and choose the rolling door products that best suit their own needs and budgets. During the purchase process, it is recommended that consumers remain rational, pay attention to the actual performance and long-term use value of the product, and avoid blindly following the trend or one-sided pursuit of low prices that affect the use effect and safety.
