With the old style manual doors both theses costs are magnified when doors are left ajar or even popped open.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Upon the installation of an automatic door there are several positive environmental factors that need to be considered, quite apart from the fact that an automatic door will reduce your carbon footprint on the environment.

As an automatic door only opens up as it senses an individual approaching this risk factor is greatly reduced. An automatic door not only delivers fantastic customer service and proves to your customers that you care about their needs, but in addition makes access so much easier for the elderly and frail population groups who may have limited strength to push open heavy manual doors.
ADSF UK LTD have a wealth of experience in the automatic door industry and can provide an automatic door entrance solution for businesses across Great Britain.

DONT BREAK THE RULES!

SLASH THE HEATING BILLS!

It would not be fair to write about automatic doors without mentioning the all important fact that automatic doors can save you money! With the old style manual doors you will find that they are very often left open by clients or employees alike. Whatever the reasons behind this is irrelevant, what matters to business owners and management teams is that it costs them an awful lot of money in increased heating bills.
Automatic doors will only open up when an individual approaches them and of close directly after they have passed safely through, due to this functionality there is no chance of the doors being left ajar, or indeed, propped open allowing precious heat to escape outside.

STOP AND LOOK
It is important that the outside of your premises shows a true representation of your business and it is therefore vital that your property is well looked after.

In premises including supermarkets, airports and hotels a sliding automatic door is generally preferred as they manage heavy daily pedestrian traffic on a daily basis. In smaller premises or locations where the footfall is not as intense, a perfect entrance solution would be an automatic swing door. Many smaller business premises including doctor’s surgeries, post offices and high street shops are already enjoying the many rewards that an automatic door can bring.

MANAGING OVERHEADS

The operational costs of any business are always very high and business owners are always looking for ways to reduce them. An automatic door will assist in reducing overheads in several ways.

Of course electricity costs will be decreased too as air conditioning units don’t have to work so hard to achieve a pleasant environment.

FRUSTRATIONS!

One of the many frustrations that people have in a working environment is doors being left open or even worse banging! Employees are distracted from their work and may become irritated. Noise and dust pollution can also be a nuisance, the great thing about an automatic door is that theses irritants are removed as the doors are kept closed.

The Whole Hog - Automatic Doors And Shop Fronts

If you are thinking about whether to replace your old shop front then serious consideration should be given to combining automatic doors as part of your new look business. Accessibility is a major concern when it comes to managing a business. No matter what sort of business you own or indeed manage, your shop fronts can transform your property with basic accessibility upgrades like automatic doors. These can also make an enormous difference to the way in which your shop is viewed by potential customers.

LIKE NEW!

Once you have a new shop front and automatic doors installed at your property, your business automatically becomes modern, up to date and stylish. An air of confidence and professionalism is delivered that will encourage clients to look at business closer. Individuals will not stop to look inside business premises that appear old, shabby and dated. You will enjoy the increased footfall and sales as more and more customers are enticed inside your new look premises.

COME INSIDE

Throughout the United Kingdom the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) introduced back in 1995 requires all shops and restaurants and other establishments which serve the public to provide easy access to the disabled population group. Whether it is through the utilisation of wheelchair ramps, lifts or automatic doors, these are simple necessities to making your place of business more accessible to the general public.
Though, these kinds of upgrades are welcomed by the elderly and the disabled, other groups of people will also benefit from increased accessibility. Often, customers with several shopping bags or parents with pushchairs will appreciate ramps or automatic doors that make their daily lives easier. Even able bodied consumers tend to struggle at times when it comes to manoeuvring through doorways whilst carrying their shopping or personal belongings.

THREES A CROWD!

No one likes queuing to enter a building where there is overcrowding in the entranceways and tensions run high. Restaurants and offices experience heavy pedestrian traffic every single day. By providing automatic doors a business can manage the flow of pedestrian traffic evenly throughout the premises even at key times of the day. Congestion is avoided along with chokepoints which are extremely inconvenient for customers or visitors. These issues can be easily prevented with improved access that automatic doors bring.

WATCHING THE PENNIES!

Doors which open and close automatically can be advantageous to shops in terms of energy savings. In some cases, the old fashioned manual doors can be left propped open by employees, either to assist with deliveries or to let cool air inside. In addition to this manually operated doors are frequently left open by absent minded customers. This often leads to wasted energy along with noise and dust pollution. Quite apart from uncomfortable drafts an open door can be rather distracting for employees and clients alike. Banging and squeaking doors are also an unwelcome irritant. One of the features of automatic doors is that they open and close silently.
Automatic doors allow you to maintain a set comfortable temperature in your premises whilst reducing the carbon footprint on the environment. All of this can be easily achieved while saving significant amounts on your energy bills.
Doors which open automatically perform an unpaid service to businesses by acting as an invitation for potential customers to come in and browse the products available. Shop fronts with closed doors and dim lighting are much less inviting and on occasion potential customers may think you are in fact closed.

TAKING THE PLUNGE!

Improvements to your business premises should be made whenever possible. In today’s competitive market proprietors need to do everything in their power to instigate sales growth in order to survive .With a brand new shop front of your choice along with all of the advantages of automatic doors your business premises will not just stand out from the others but will in addition give you the competitive edge over your rivals.
