I’m trying to spec out my new building and wanting to figure out a large door option that doesn’t have large air gaps. I’m going to be doing spray foam so the rest of the building will be relatively air sealed, but even the best of roll ups doors have pretty decent gaps. Moldings and brush sweeps can be added but that won’t really stop air very well.
I don’t plan on using the large door (12x14 foot) 99% of the time. I don’t work on cars at all, I’m a small project wood worker, so everything can be done through a man door. I’d like to have a large door just in case or if I get a large order of lumber, just have them drop it right inside. Also on nice days throw open the door for some fresh air.
I thought about having a roll up door and building a encasement on the inside with some sort of heavy duty coated fabric that could Velcro on the inside. Like a second door that I could roll up with a cord and metal conduit pipe at the bottom, like roll up blinds.
Any ideas, I’d like to have the access but I won’t use it often
