Reuse Store Upgrade: How Insulated Roller Shutter Doors Improve Comfort All Year Round

When you’re running a busy retail space, comfort and functionality aren’t “nice to haves” – they directly affect customer experience, staff wellbeing, and how efficiently the building operates.

That’s exactly why the team at the Reuse Store chose Ulti Group for their commercial door installation.

In this short video, Store Manager Michelle Ludwig shares what the difference has been since installing their new doors – and why they’ve become such an important part of the building’s everyday function.

 

A Practical Door Solution Designed for Real Retail Use

The Reuse Store needed doors that could handle day-to-day stock movement while still supporting the comfort of the space for customers.

As Michelle explains in the video: “The main large door we use the most… the smaller doors are very functional. We’re very happy with them.”

The installation includes multiple doors serving different purposes – including doors used daily for stock flow and a larger door positioned to support future plans (including the option of bringing in a coffee cart.)

This is a great example of how smart door planning can support both current operations and future flexibility.

 

Summer Comfort: Let the Breeze in Without Losing the Cool

In warmer months, many retail and warehouse environments struggle with heat build-up – especially when doors are constantly oepning and closing.

Michelle describes how the Reuse Store uses the doors during summer: ‘In the summer we open it in the mornings just to keep the cool in… and they function very well.”

This highlights one of the biggest advantages of a high-quality commercial door solution: controlled ventilation without compromising indoor comfort.

 

Winter Protection: Keeping Warm and Blocking the Wind

In winter, cold wind and draughts can quickly make a retail space uncomfortable – and increase heating costs.

Michelle notes a clear difference during colder months: “The winter we keep them closed and it keeps us warm and keeps the wind out.”

This is where insulation and tight sealing matter most.

A well-installed insulated door helps:

• reduce draughts
• stabilise indoor temperatures
• improve customer comfort
• support energy efficiency

 

“You Notice a Huge Difference” – Comfort Customers Can Feel

One of the strongest parts of Michelle’s feedback is how noticeable the improvement is.

“You notice a huge difference with the doors whether they’re up and down.”

That’s the real goal of high-performance commercial entrances – not just durability, but comfort you can actually feel in the space.

For businesses, this impacts more than just temperature. It also supports:

• better customer experience
• improved staff comfort
• a more professional environment
• better control over airflow and wind exposure

 

Modern, Easy-to-Use Doors That Match the Building

Performance is critical – but appearance matters too, especially in customer-facing spaces.

Michelle highlights both: “I love how modern they are and how easy they are to use… just a touch of a button.”

This installation shows that industrial-grade doors don’t need to look industrial.

With the right door selection, you can achieve:

• clean, modern aesthetics
• easy daily operation
• a better overall fit with the building’s design
