Why Choose an Automatic Door over a Manual Door?

Automatic doors, including automatic swing doors, electric sliding doors, power-assisted doors, and automatic sliding doors offer a range of benefits making them the preferred choice for all types of businesses, for reasons including:

Convenience and Accessibility

One of the most significant advantages of automatic doors is the convenience they offer. They open and close seamlessly, making entry and exit effortless for everyone, particularly differently-abled people, or parents with pushchairs etc.

Efficiency and Traffic Flow

In busy commercial settings, managing traffic flow efficiently is essential, and automatic doors are a highly effective solution, as they help control congestion at entry and exit points in ways that manually controlled doors can't.

Energy Efficiency

Modern automatic door systems are designed with energy conservation in mind, meaning that unlike manual doors, they only stay open when necessary, and close when not in use, therefore minimising the loss of heat or cooled air.

Inclusivity

Power-assisted doors, which are a type of automatic door, are particularly essential to ensure inclusivity. This is because they make a property accessible to all, in particularly those with limited mobility.

Modern Aesthetics

Automatic doors come in a variety of styles, allowing you to choose a design that compliments your buildings aesthetics, whether you prefer the elegance of automatic swing doors, or the contemporary look of electric sliding doors.

Enhanced Security

Modern automatic doors are equipped with advanced locking and security systems, helping to restrict unauthorised access, especially in high-security environments, such as banks, airports, and data centres etc.

Safety

Modern automatic doors systems are usually fitted with sensors and other safety mechanisms designed to help prevent accidents, such as the door closing on a person, or something else in its path.

Ask an Automatic Door Professional

Whilst good quality manually controlled doors provide many benefits to businesses and their customers, automatic door systems offer a whole range of other benefits. such as enhanced security and improved traffic management.

However, when deciding on whether your commercial property requires manually controlled doors or automatic doors, we strongly recommend getting advice from a professional commercial door supplier.
