Megadoor is the modern alternative to the older traditional bot-
tom rolling doors. The AAR team first utilized Megadoors on
another massive hangar they leased from the Chennault Airport
in Louisiana.
Pierre Varlamoff with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems says,
"One of the goals when designing a cost-effective and efficient
hangar facility is to maximize operational flexibility while mini-
mizing the hangar square footage and volume. Since, Megadoors
lift vertically, the door system can be shaped to the aircraft mix,
and they do not require the massive door pockets and track
system of conventional bottom rolling doors, saving thousands
of square feet of room."
Varlamoff says, "The door is comprised of horizontal alumi-
num beams that are skinned on the interior and exterior with
a PVC-coated polyester fabric which envelopes the side guides.
Our unique seals provide exceptionally low air infiltration rates
dramatically reducing energy loss in the cold Rockford winters.
The translucent white fabric of the door allows natural light into
the hangar providing a safer, happier, and more productive work
environment for the aircraft technicians."
