An automatic door can transform your business premises from looking out of date and create a modern and professional look to the exterior of the property. The first and lasting impression that a potential customer has of your business is the outside of the building. If the premises are clean and modern and of smart appearance it is much more likely that a customer will want to do business with you as opposed to a competitor. There are of course several very good reasons why installing an automatic door is a sound investment for your business quite apart from its fantastic visual appeal.
DDA - THE WAY FORWARD FOR YOUR BUSINESS
An automatic door system does not only make good business sense as it demonstrates to your customers that you care about their needs but in addition means that your business is complying with DDA standards. DDA stands for the Disability Discrimination Act which demands that every eating establishment and business that is customer facing should provide comfortable access for everyone. This is achieved by the provision of ramps or the installation of an automatic door.
EVERYBODY IS WELCOME
Of course it is not just the disabled population group who will benefit from automatic doors, the elderly and individuals using wheelchairs will in addition feel they are being made welcome inside. Shopping trips with youngsters will become much more enjoyable as parents no longer need to have their hands free to open up the doors; of course they may well decide to purchase more items as carrying them is not as difficult as the automatic door opens up for them. Business people alike will not be hindered in the entranceways as they transport their belongings into the office. Another advantage of installing an automatic door is that it manages the flow of pedestrian traffic in and around the building which prevents choke points and overcrowding in the doorways at key times of the day.
COST REDUCTIONS
There is of course legitimate reasons why an automatic door holds an economic value within a business; it can actually save you money in the long run. All businesses struggle with operational costs and the beauty of an automatic door is that it cannot be left open by absent minded customers or employees. Expensive heat is therefore retained within the building rather than heating up the street. Although an automatic door operates with electricity, the amount needed to operate them is minimal an unlike the air conditioning units that have to work hard to keep a constant and comfortable heat inside the premises. 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. Noise from traffic, for example could be prevented by making use of an automatic entrance system especially if the property is on a busy road. Noise and dust pollution will be greatly reduced as the automatic door will only open when someone approaches it in addition to these benefits the door will keep pesky flying insects at bay.
INCREASED SECURITY AND SAFETY
Security is an additional way that an automatic door brings extra commercial value to your business. As the doors are predominantly made of glass, customers and employees alike can clearly see any unwelcome outside activity and likewise would be criminals may be deterred from attempting to enter the business.
An automatic door is of course far safer than the old style manual doors, due to the fact that the traditional doors are cumbersome and heavy there is a risk of accidents involved. Manual doors can easily bang into people causing injuries and children have been known to trap their fingers inside the doors all too frequently. 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.
