Try our cost calculator and compare what two industrial doors actually cost over their entire lifecycle.
You’ve probably bought a cheap tool at some point.
It worked for a while—until it loosened, failed, or broke right when you needed it most.
Industrial doors work the same way.
But when a door stops working, the operation often stops with it.
The Differences You Don''t See in the Quote
Our sales team often hears that Torverk doors cost more than others. We understand why—purchase price is easy to compare.
But if price is all you compare, you miss the innovations and design decisions our engineers have made since 1962 to improve reliability and energy efficiency.
Such as:
- Lift-off hinges in heavy dimensions that protect floor seals from wear
- Motors designed for millions of opening cycles
- High-density insulation foam injected at 4.5 bar, chemically bonding all components into one solid structure
- Corrosion-protected C5-rated SSAB GreenCoat steel
- EPDM rubber seals that stay flexible and airtight even in cold conditions
- Corner reinforcements in hardened DOMEX steel for increased torsional rigidity
All of these choices affect the purchase price.
But more importantly, they determine reliability and service life.
Reliability Is Not an Accident
Operational reliability isn''t about one or two strong components.
Every part must withstand weather, temperature shifts, and industrial wear.
Yes, Torverk could build cheaper doors. But that would mean thinner materials and lower-grade components. After a few years, the door would start to flex and loosen. Gaps would appear, heat would escape, and the door leaves would begin to bind.
The motor would have to work harder, accelerating wear—until one day, it simply fails.
Usually when you need it most.
Just like a cheap tool.
That''s not how we build doors. A door that needs replacing after only a few years is bad for your economy—and for the environment. That''s why we build doors to last for decades, not years.
40 Years in Operation
Drive around in almost any Swedish industrial area and you''ll still find Torverk doors from the 1980s in daily use.
That''s the result of thoughtful engineering, overdimensioned components, and an uncompromising focus on real-world reliability.
Insulation That Actually Insulates
Total door cost is also heavily affected by insulation performance.
The high-density foam in our sandwich construction insulates up to four times better than standard residential insulation.
Heat stays where it belongs. The door surface remains warmer, and energy losses are minimized.
For a typical industrial door of 20–30 m², the difference between a low-cost door and a well-insulated door can amount to €1,000–€1,500 per year in heating costs.
Money that literally disappears through the door—year after year—and never appears in the quote.
Try the Door Calculator – See What Your Door Really Costs
We know our doors aren''t the cheapest to buy.
But we''re confident they''re among the most affordable to own.
With our cost calculator, you can compare different doors yourself.
Enter your location (for climate data), indoor temperature, door size, U- and T-values, and purchase price for two doors—and see the total cost over the door''s lifetime.
Or contact us, and we''ll help you calculate the full lifecycle cost—not just the purchase price.
