The Many Uses Of Automatic Doors

It is not unusual these days to see automatic doors in very many businesses across the country as business owners become more and more aware of the many benefits associated with them. It is in the best interest for customers as well as employees to have automatic doors installed. Not only do they provide easy and straight forward access for all population groups but in addition they deliver a high level of customer service.

We automatically think of the benefits for the elderly and the disabled population groups when considering the topic of automatic doors, this however is not the case at all; they are also very useful for providing easy access for many other individuals. Families pushing young children in push chairs will be grateful of the fact that they no longer have to battle with old style manual, cumbersome doors. Business people will have a far better start to their working days if they can rush in gracefully through open doors, rather than having to stop and place some of their belongings down in order to open up awkward manual doors. Of course this situation is magnified when many people start their daily shifts at the same time, automatic doors help manage pedestrian traffic flow as several people can manoeuvre through the automatic doors at once significantly reducing congestion in the entrance/exits.

Of course, hospitals, medical centres, supermarkets, offices and leisure centres along with schools and universities, are all buildings that really should have automatic doors installed as there are very many benefits to be gained for both the business owner and employees quite apart from straight forward accessibility.

A great example of how cost effective and efficient automatic doors are is to consider all the advantages that they bring. If we look at a college where daily foot fall is extremely high, it will experience many students and lecturers who will always have their hands full lecture aides and equipment and of course students carrying their books and laptops into theatres and classrooms. Automatic sliding doors are perfect for these areas as more than one student at a time is able to pass through safely. Apart from the great features and functions of automatic doors they will transform the exterior of the college into a smart, up to date and modern property.

Hospitals that have automatic doors installed along with service providers of course are just a few of the services that are going to benefit the most out of the automatic doors. Again these premises will experience extremely heavy daily footfall and therefore automatic sliding doors are generally used and with good reason. Most of the population groups that will be visiting hospitals and medical centres will be the elderly, disabled, the infirm along with outpatients and visitors. A significant number of these people will be using mobility aides including mobility scooters and wheelchairs so it is essential that the space is indeed wide enough for them to manoeuvre safely through.

Automatic sliding doors are the perfect access solution for properties like these as the medical teams, nursing staff and of course ambulance personnel and hospital porters will need the doors to open up quickly and silently as they approach in order to manoeuvre their patients through with ease.

Supermarkets were the first business types to have automatic doors installed as they quickly realized the full benefits and advantages to the customers they delivered. It meant that individuals could carry a lot more purchases as they could exit the supermarket without having to struggle with heavy shopping bags and an old cumbersome door. Sliding or swing automatic doors are used in these locations and shopping trolleys can be pushed easily through. Yet another great advantage of the automatic doors in larger stores is that it makes life far easier for an individual who wishes to purchase a larger item and take it home with them at that time. Automatic swing doors are generally the preferred option by businesses that operate from smaller premises which include high street stores, post offices, doctor’s surgeries, and banks.

The Bus Company decided that it would be beneficial for the waiting passengers to create an enclosure with enhanced lighting within a comfortable environment.

Additionally, the doors were fitted with highly durable internal mechanics, to ensure that the doors will open and close every few seconds of the day with little need for regular maintenance.

Bus Station Outcome:

With the effective lighting systems safely in place, the bus station waiting area became a far more attractive and comfortable place for the passengers, friends and family to wait. The general feeling of the public was that the addition of the waiting area in the bus station made them feel far safer. The new lighting system incorporated energy saving technology so the client could reduce its energy costs. In addition to this cost saving, the automatic doors helped quite considerably with reducing the heating costs within the waiting area as the automatic doors only open up as an individual approaches and close directly afterwards. This means that precious heat cannot escape outside into the open air.

This high quality durable system and toughened glass was more than able to manage the daily pedestrian traffic and the demands of thousands of passengers on a daily basis even at peak times of the day.

The waiting area protected the passengers from the outside elements and the automated doors ensured that the cold winter winds and draughts were kept outside. The passengers enjoy waiting inside the warm comfortable area.
