Automatic doors were installed to provide increased safety and security whilst aiming to give the teaching staff and pupils a sense of pride in their place of learning for several years.
Situation:
Beeston Infants School wanted to renovate the main entrance of their building to give it a fresh and contemporary new look while at the same time boosting the security and safety of the place. Their mission was to accomplish two goals with this project; one to give their infants and teachers a sense of pride in the school where they learn, and two to make everyone in the building safe from any form of harm.
In order to achieve these goals, Beeston Infants School needed to find a contractor that would be able to design and create an automatic entrance system and to conclude the project within a strict time window of works. Unfortunately Beeston Infants School had a late funding approved and therefore time was not on their side as the new school year was about to commence. Once the funding for the new entrance system was raised the school approached ASDF UK LTD for advice and consultation. ADSF UK LTD was more than happy to propose an automatic entrance system that would meet the schools individual’s requirements and the school subsequently hired the services of ADSF UK LTD.
Automatic Doors Solution:
ASDF UK LTD recommended that a new aluminium entrance screen be installed along with a new pair of Premis 120 automatic swing door operators. This design is the most appropriate entrance solution to meet the school’s aims. Aluminium frames with toughened glass panels will instantly give the school’s entrance a modern and contemporary look creating the appearance of a new school. The neat addition to the existing structure blended in perfectly as the aluminium frames were powder painted too and will make the building appear as good as new with this neat addition on the structure.
Moreover, aluminium is an ideal material for door frames because it is very durable and can withstand excessive heat and rain. Even the glass panels that were used on the screen are made of toughened glass that is durable as well. They do not break easily, which is extremely safe for a school setting.
The automatic swing door openers addressed the need for safety and security. They can be easily locked to protect children inside the building and the automatic function
is very helpful for smooth access or exit.
Beeston Infants School Outcome:
Beeston Infants School was very pleased with the result of the project. The aluminium entrance screen and of course the automatic door improved the aesthetic appeal of the school. When the children and of course the teaching staff returned to school after the summer holidays they were pleasantly surprised how the automatic doors completely altered the image of the school.
One of the main benefits of installing automatic doors at the school is that safety was enhanced so the little children were able to enter and leave the school in a safe manner. The sensors in the automatic doors never faltered, so the infants were never at risk of being hit by the door and concerns around their hands being caught accidentally in the doors were eliminated. A practice drill was carried out in case of threat from the outside and the doors performed well by being securely locked when needed.
Beeston Infants School achieved more than their initial goals. The glass panels on the entrance screen also allowed more light to enter the building creating a far more comfortable and pleasant environment for the children to study in. With the high quality materials that were used in this project, the school will also be able to save on renovation and repair costs in the future as the aluminium and glass can last for a number of years despite the heavy use. Aluminium is both robust and durable and can easily withstand the adverse weather conditions that we have to endure in this wonderful country of ours. Yet another benefit for the school was that during the first few months after installation; the school also noticed a significant reduction in their heating bill.
The Infants School should expect to save even more money on overheads during the winter months as the automatic doors will prevent the outside elements from penetrating the building.
