To make the choice easier, we’ve listed the three main types of automatic doors we supply and install, and where they’re best suited.
One of the most popular types of door, the automatic sliding door is cost-effective and perfect for properties with a high footfall, such as supermarkets or hospitals.
A great option for medium to low traffic flow, particularly in schools or small-scale medical centres. The automatic swing door also has the benefit that the operating system can be retrofitted to your existing door.
Automatic telescopic doors are ideal where footfall is high, in places such as large superstores, showrooms or exhibition centres where it’s also important to let in as much light as possible.
Whether it’s automatic shop doors for a new superstore, sliding doors for a modern place of worship, or automatic glass doors for a plush new office, there are plenty of reasons an automatic door is your best solution, including:
Most modern retail, industrial or office units are required by law to maintain a regular temperature of 13-16 C°, depending on usage. An automatic door with a motion sensor or pressure pad, is one of the most reliable methods of regulating temperature at an entrance or exit.
Whether it’s due to a pandemic or a more general control of germs or bacteria, an automatic door requires little to zero human contact, therefore removing the risk of germs and bacteria being passed from one person’s hand to the next.
If you own or manage a commercial property, by law it’s now your responsibility to ensure a person with a disability has easy access to all areas. Automatic doors are one of the many changes you could make to a property to allow people with reduced mobility to move around independently.
Using an access control system such as FlowControl, your automatic doors can be used to monitor and control the amount of people that enter and exit your premises. This not only means you can easily control the amount of people in the building at any one time, you can also get an accurate readout of the total footfall over any period.
