Automatic doors were used to provide safety and give the teaching teams and pupils a sense of pride in their place of learning alongside the public who use the school for evening classes and fitness groups.
Situation:
Merry Fields Junior School in Monmouthshire wanted to renovate the entranceway of their junior school building to give it a modern new look while at the same time increasing the security and safety of the school premises. They hoped to accomplish several goals with this project, the first being to ensure the safety of everyone using the school at any one time and to give their children and teachers a sense of pride for the school where they carry out their learning on a daily basis.
In order to achieve these goals, Merry Fields Junior School needed to find a contractor that would be able to create the perfect entrance solution while keeping in with the traditional appearance of the rest of the school and the quaint village surroundings. It was in addition very important that the project was finished within a set schedule. Unfortunately Merry Fields Junior School were late in receiving their grant which meant that the school did not have the luxury of time as the new school year was about to start. This is when they approached ADSF UK LTD – Automatic Door Shop Fronts specialists for their expert advice which in turn led them to employing 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 openers. ADSF UK LTD created the most appropriate automatic entrance solution for this school. Aluminium with glass panels will instantly give the school’s entrance a modern new look. The neat addition on the structure will transform the building appearance. Of course aluminium is the perfect material for door frames because it is extremely durable and can withstand the excessive heat and rain that we experience in the United Kingdom. Even the glass panels that were used on the screen are made of toughened glass again, ideal in a school environment. They do not break easily which of course is advantageous in an establishment that houses hundreds of children. The automatic swing door openers addressed the need for safety and security as they can be easily locked to protect children inside the building and the automatic function is particularly helpful for a quick and smooth access or exit which reduces overcrowding in the doorways.
School Outcome:
The teaching staff, pupils, and visitors to Merry Fields Junior School were all very pleased with the overall result of the project. The aluminium entrance screen alongside the automatic doors certainly improved the aesthetic appeal of the school. When the children came back after the half term they were surprised at how different their school looked and were happy with the transformation. The teachers commended the renovation that was created by ADSF UK LTD. The main benefit for Merry Fields Junior School was that everyone could enter and exit the school safely.
The sensors in the automatic doors are extremely reliable, so the pupils were not going to have the doors banging into them and the risk of the children’s hands being trapped inside the doors causing injuries was eliminated. A practice drill proved that the new automatic doors served their purpose well and were locked when required.
Merry Fields Junior School achieved a lot more than their initial goals. The glass panels on the entrance screen also allowed more light to enter the premises which in turn created a far more comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for the children to work in. ADSF UK LTD use high quality materials for their automatic door entrance systems and shop fronts therefore, the school will also be able to save on any repair costs for the newly automated entrance way in the future as the aluminium and glass will last for a number of years despite the heavy daily use. A significant reduction in heating costs was noticed after the first quarter proving again the return on investment of the new entrance system. The school should see even further improvements to their overheads as once winter sets in the automatic doors are able to keep the expensive heat inside the school. Another benefit of the automatic doors is that they keep the noise and dust pollution at bay.
