Case Study: Automatic Doors - Loughton Veterinary Practice

Loughton Veterinary Practice in Essex contacted ADSF UK LTD for assistance in creating a new entranceway that would enable more light to penetrate the old, somewhat tired looking building and reduce maintenance costs and energy bills.
Automatic Doors

Situation:

The veterinary practice in Loughton were looking to update the aluminium entrance doors at the practice that had certainly seen better days and this was to be part of a planned renovation.
They wanted the veterinary senior vets and practising junior vets to have a sense of pride in their place of work and learning. As the building is fairly old it was hoped that more light could be bought into the practice premises.
The veterinary practice wanted to ensure the students and senior vets were kept as safe as possible during their days of teaching and learning. In addition to increased security and safety at the site ADSF UK LTD recognised that the veterinary practice needed a system of swing doors, automatic doors and screens that would cope with the daily, heavy, pedestrian traffic in and out of the building. The practice managers were originally concerned as the works needed to be carried out outside normal working hours due to strict business hours and teaching times. ADSF UK LTD was able to assist with this by working the unsocial hours and by causing the least disruption as at all possible.

Automatic Doors Solution:

In accordance with the Loughton veterinary practice requirements, ADSF UK LTD supplied and installed various aluminium entrance screens and doors. The entrance screens were designed to look modern and contemporary and by using glass in the frames around the automatic doors and the manual door entrances the veterinary practice was able to allow lots more natural light to flood the building. The glass was toughened to ensure that accidents were prevented and the junior vets, visitors and animals were kept safe at all times.
The highly qualified installation technicians employed by ADSF UK LTD worked carefully and consciously to complete the works within the agreed time scales with the minimum of fuss.

Loughton Veterinary Practice Outcome:

By using clear glass in as much of the space as at all possible the entrance way also became a huge stylish window and enabled the practice to be a much brighter welcoming place, this also helped the practice to reduce its electricity bills as the lights did not have to be turned on until much later in the day.
The tough durable materials used for this beautiful new automated entrance system means that there is a greatly reduced possibility of damage to the doors and entrance screens as they are designed for heavy pedestrian traffic on a daily basis.
This in addition meant that the practice greatly reduced its operational costs as the new system was manufactured from aluminium and toughened glass. Aluminium is a strong but lightweight material which can be moulded or shaped to fit almost size. The aluminium frames were powder painted to perfectly match the existing decor of the veterinary practice.
The beauty of automatic swing doors is that the doors will automatically swing close behind themselves so that the harsh elements are kept outside. The tight seals ensure that expensive heat is retained within the building. This will enable the practice to reduce its enormous heating bill quite significantly. The sun will still be able to get into the building of course and help to kept it bright, comfortable and warm.
Access is all important these days and automatic doors provide the perfect access solution for all population groups. It is not only the disabled and the elderly who will benefit from the automatic doors being installed at the practice but in addition the people who are carrying or walking in the vets with sick animals. Animals very often become alarmed when visiting the veterinary practice and the owners will be glad that the doors open up automatically for them as they sooth their pets and larger animals.
Automatic doors are of course far safer and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries that can occur by manual doors that have frequently been known to trap fingers or body parts inside.
