Advantages and Benefits of Automatic Doors
Efficiency

We are able to customise our auto doors with programmable schedules for traffic patterns, helping with the flow at specific points of the day. By using our doors you are minimising heat loss and gain making your building more energy efficient which in turn will reduce your carbon footprint by regulating the temperature inside reducing costs and energy consumption.
Customisation
Alongside our many choices for security management, we have a large variety of options when it comes to our automatic doors you can choose from including colour and size making them a great choice for your commercial and industrial premises. Aluminium sliding doors which are aesthetically pleasing and are perfect for any indoor space, swing doors that are quick to install and economic as they can be fitted to existing doorways.
Health and safety
Automatic doors can increase the health and safety on your premises as it minimises the chances of accidental injury by slammed doors, trapped fingers and crowded exits in emergency situation. By eliminating the need for a door handle it cuts down on transferring germs and bacteria through the touchless operations created by hands free sensors.
Accessibility
By cutting out the physical barriers of manual doors you are massively contributing towards accessibility. Making it easier for your customers, residents, staff, or visitors to come and go is a huge advantage to automatic doors. Individuals with mobility limitations or wheelchair users can effortlessly navigate through entrances and exits independently. They also provide easy access for people who may be carrying heavy loads.
Security
We have many customisable security options from advanced sensors, control systems, card entry, remote control access, key code entry and more. Providing a form of access management greatly reduces unauthorised entry making it a perfect option for high security premises.
The use of Automatic Doors
Although automatic doors are an asset to any business or commercial premises - providing increased accessibility and a modern entrance and exit - they are particularly appropriate for any business that has a high volume of footfall. For some business sectors, they are a standard requirement.
Educational facilities
Security is a top priority in educational settings, opting for automatic doors not only enhances your security measures but also promotes a healthier and safer environment with better accessibility for students and staff. Click here to read more on the benefits of automatic doors for schools.
Healthcare facilities

Nursing and care homes
Due to the nature of the premises accessibility is the priority for these properties. Ensuring all staff and residents are able to come and go when needed whilst maintaining high security for health care purposes is essential.
Retail shops
With our automatic doors being customisable you can match your aesthetics with an accessible entrance suitable for the public. Paired with the choice of programmed schedules for heavy foot fall it reduces congestion around the entrance and exit of your store.
Offices
Having an entrance that both matches the aesthetics of the company and building whilst providing high level security to your offices is essential. Restricting access so only authorised staff members can enter the premises is important and crucial to any office building.
