Penny Change Shop Front.

The Situation:

Very recently, Penny Change Shops opened up a new branch in Cheltenham. This was a redevelopment project that placed the store in the centre of a popular small town that is also seeing well over 200 newly built homes being built in the later part of 2016. Being a new and exciting addition to a small town, Penny Change Store is expected to become a leading provider of household products in Cheltenham. Penny Change Stores are well known for their commitment in caring for the communities that they serve and it is part of their objectives to create a store that will offer both convenience and comfort for all population groups who wish to shop there. Hence, during the building stages, they have hired the assistance of ADSF UK LTD in designing the most appropriate automatic door entrance solution for this new store.
Automatic Doors

Automatic Door Solution:

In response to the clients need to create an entranceway that will provide straight forward and comfortable access and exit for its customers, suppliers and employees, ADSF UK LTD supplied and installed 2no aluminium entrance screens (shop fronts) with 2no Premis Euroslide Automatic Bi-Part Openers. This kind of automatic door system is ideal for businesses and establishments that experience heavy daily pedestrian traffic, such as supermarkets, call centres, hospitals, airports and hotels. It allows individuals to move in and out of the store with ease even if their hands are full of items they have just purchased. The bi-part design also helps to manage pedestrian traffic in the entryways and customers will not be inconvenienced by overcrowding and queuing which will undoubtedly put them off entering the store at the very beginning of their shopping experience.
The design and material used to manufacture the door itself is perfect for high street stores and will blend in well with other retail shops in the town centre. Aluminium is resilient to rust and is extremely durable and very strong. It is easy to keep clean and once installed the products should stay looking smart and clean for a long while to come.

Penny Change Store Outcome:

Once the Penny Change Store was officially opened it was time to see if the 2no Aluminium entrance screens (shop fronts), with 2no Premis Euroslide Automatic Bi-Part Openers that were installed by ADSF UK LTD were as effective as the client desired. Although very many customers were waiting outside on the first day of trading, there was no crowding at the entrance area and individuals were able to access the store safely and comfortably.
The clients were evidently pleased with the outcome. It is crucial for any business that when they first open, a good impression is made and due to the investment in the high quality and well designed automatic doors by ADSF UK LTD this was achieved.
The client was very pleased that the automatic doors served their purpose over and above their expectations. When customers left the store with their hands full of products, they were not inconvenienced in the slightest by the need to open the door for themselves. The bi-part design also allowed enough space for the entering and exiting lines of people.
Yet another advantage of automatic doors is that they add an additional layer of security to the premises. Should an emergency situation arise, individuals can exit the premises quickly and above all safely without the fear of being trapped inside the store as is often the case with the old style manual doors.
In conclusion, ADSF UK LTD was successful in providing the client with a fantastic entrance solution for this fresh new store, but also provided the customers with unparalleled convenience and safety in their shopping experience.

Case Study: Amusement Arcade – Dawlish

Automatic Door Situation:

Recently, an amusement arcade in Dawlish approached ADSF UK LTD to request help in finding the right automatic door solution for its large and very popular premises. The amusement arcade is one of the South West’s seaside resort’s most iconic amusement arcades and was at its busiest during the 1980’s when it was a video arcade game fans paradise. Nowadays however the amusement arcade has fantastic, modern and state of the art games which are proving popular with the users all over the country. The automatic doors for the amusement arcade needed to be robust and with an access control panel to keep the premises totally secure at night times when not in use.
Automatic Doors

Automatic Door Solution:

To meet the needs of the client, ADSF UK LTD fitted robust commercial aluminium doors with Premis 120 Automatic Swing Door Openers. The entry point of the amusement arcade that controlled the automatic doors was fitted with an access control panel that meant that only authorised employees could gain entry after hours.
The amusements arcades automatic doors were extremely robust and could take the daily knocks and scrapes from the pushchairs and mobility aides that individuals used while entering and exiting the arcade. The reinforced glass meant that excited and boisterous youngsters could bump into the glass and it would not break. This meant that as well as being robust, they were also very safe and minimized the chances of injury. The automatic door openers were also highly durable to ensure they could cope with the demands of constant opening and closing. The sensors were set to be sensitive enough to know when an individual had entered or exited the arcade premises; this again protected both the users and the doors from damage.
The access panel that required an employee with a swipe card after hours ensured that the games machines were safe and that thieves were unable to enter the amusement arcade. The arcade also featured CCTV cameras so that anyone who forced their way in would be immediately picked up on camera. The solution fitted all the criteria that the amusement arcade required and the automatic doors made it quick, easy, safe and convenient for individuals to enter and exit the busy arcade.

Dawlish Arcade Outcome:

The Automatic Door solution has helped the town centre cut down on crimes of this nature and has encouraged far more people to go inside the amusement arcade and enjoy the facilities on offer. This will help the client to recoup its initial investment far more quickly and help to give the owners of the arcade more peace of mind surrounding unruly night time activity at the arcade. ADSF UK LTD was pleased to deliver a fantastic outcome to the arcade.

Additional Benefits:

The amusement arcade in Dawlish has now attracted far more customers and due to the appearance of the exterior of the arcade it has stood out amongst its competitors. The arcade had previously looked a little tired and drab but now has a stylish new image.
The newly installed automatic doors in addition helped to reduce overheads at the arcade, as the automatic doors only open as someone approaches and close directly afterwards, no heat is lost from the property. Noise and dust pollution are kept firmly at bay and the owners of the amusement arcade are pleased that they are able to reduce the carbon footprint on the environment. Lighting is important in amusement arcades and natural light was able to flood inside the arcade through the toughened glass panels of the automatic doors again reducing energy costs.
Yet another advantage of installing automatic doors at amusement arcades and similar establishments is that they provide easy and comfortable access into the buildings for all population groups. The elderly and the disabled are able to enter the premises without the struggle with the old style manual doors which are invariably very heavy. The automatic doors allow the safe manoeuvring of wheelchairs and mobility scooters and of course pushchairs and trolleys.

One Door Opens ... One Door Closes!

Automatic Doors

WHERE CAN THEY BE INSTALLED?

Automatic doors are a fantastic concept, they quite simply open and close automatically without the need of individuals having to stop and lift a handle or turn a knob. Automatic doors have been around for many years in supermarkets, hospitals, swanky hotels and in classy fashionable shopping malls but as times change so do the building structures. Automatic doors are now present in very many business premises and establishments across the country including medical centres, schools, restaurants, office complexes, health clubs, airports and high street stores.

THE BENEFITS:

There are enormous benefits for businesses that use automatic doors and not just for the customers but in addition for the business owners. The most favourable aspects of automatic doors are that they transform the appearance of the exterior of virtually any property. Automatic doors provide easy access and ensure your premises are DDA compliant. Utility bills are decreased, Carbon footprint is reduced. Safety and security at the premises is increased along with footfall and sales growth.

WHAT ARE THEY MADE FROM?

Automatic doors are manufactured from aluminium and toughened glass which makes them the perfect entrance solution for most businesses today. Aluminium is extremely strong but lightweight and is a flexible and durable material. It can be bended and moulded into almost any shape including arcs and for that reason it is a very popular choice. Aluminium is easy to clean and is resilient to rust which is ideal for properties in the United Kingdom where we experience so much rain! The toughened glass does not only add another layer of safety and security to the building but is also of smart appearance and again easy to keep clean.

FRAMELESS GLASS AUTOMATIC DOORS:

Frameless glass doors are sweeping the market place and with very good reason. Frameless glass provides the business owners or service providers with a swish and contemporary look for their business. The frameless glass automatic doors are a state of the art product that ooze professionalism and charm but in addition offer yet further advantages. As the frameless glass doors are not obstructed by frames of any kind, customers and employees have a clear view as to any untoward outside activity which means that dangerous situations can be avoided and emergency situations can be reacted to far more quickly. By the same token, potential customers can clearly see inside the business premises and can alert the appropriate people of any unpleasant or suspicious activity.
The toughened glass used for these automatic doors allows the business owners more space to show case their products and services and also promote their business even when the business is closed. The glass is allergen free so is perfect for any business using food stuffs as it eliminates the spread of bacteria. Again this is a great concept for the many individuals that are concerned with germs these days as they do not need to touch the automatic doors at any time.

SWINGING AUTOMATIC DOORS:

Automatic swing doors are ideal for smaller businesses including high street stores where the pedestrian traffic is not constant throughout the day. They are common in post offices, doctor’s surgeries, cafes and offices; they full comply with DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) and provide easy and straight forward access for everyone.

SLIDING AUTOMATIC DOORS:

Sliding automatic doors are most often seen in larger premises with heavy, daily pedestrian traffic; they are perfect for airports, hotels and railway/coach stations where individuals are transporting several bags of luggage. They are a blessing in supermarkets for parents pushing food trolleys and youngsters in push chairs while providing straight forward access for busy office complexes who will have a large number of employees starting work at the same time. Automatic sliding doors are fantastic for buildings that have limited space and allow wheelchair and mobility scooter users the opportunity to manoeuvre through the entranceway/exits safely. These automatic doors comply to DDA legislations and provide comfortable access for all population groups.

WHY ARE THEY BETTER THAN MANUALLY OPERATED DOORS?

Automatic doors are far safer than the old style traditional doors. The manual doors are quite often heavy and cumbersome and they of course inhibit access for the disabled and the elderly and anyone else carrying personnel items, shopping, or trying to push somebody through them. It has been known for manual doors to cause accidents and injuries to people by trapping fingers or even slamming shut on them.
With all the benefits of automatic doors being considered contact ADSF UK LTD on 01275 871787 and our friendly and experienced sales team will happily assist you.

Case Study Health Club: Melksham

A brand new Health Club and swimming pool recently opened in Melksham this is one of the finest health clubs offering the very latest in health and fitness. It offers first-class facilities in the four-star gym, personal training plus great membership options.
Automatic Doors

Automatic Door Situation:

The new build Health Club recently needed help with the design, manufacture and installation of an automatic door entry system in the Health Club in Melksham. Their remit included the following:
A modern and contemporary seamless design was required which will complement the building's architecture. It needed to be seamless, with no visible or obtrusive parts. The entranceway needed to be manufactured from an extremely durable material that can withstand the adverse weather conditions that we experience here in the United Kingdom. In addition to this it needed to be able to isolate outside noise, pollution, and heat. A high quality automatic door was required for heavy pedestrian traffic yet requiring minimum maintenance.
With these objectives clearly identified, the Health Club owners were able to clearly relay these requirements to ADSF UK LTD which enabled us to create the perfect entrance solution for this prestige Health Club.

Automatic Doors Solution:

In response to the clearly defined requirements of the Health Club, ADSF UK LTD supplied and fitted a concealed Premis automatic bi-part opener with armour plate glass doors. This automatic door system has a closed header design, so the finished product looked completely seamless. Used in conjunction with the bi-part sliding motion, glass doors, and aluminium frames, the end result was a building that looked classy, elegant, and stylish which melds well with the overall building design.
The concealed automatic door operators improve the reliability and performance of the door system too because it keeps dust and debris away from the slide and track. As a result, little maintenance is needed to keep the operators from functioning well and any malfunctions caused by the accumulation of dirt are duly prevented.
The armour plate glass doors simply mean that they are made of toughened glass that can withstand extreme weather. As a direct result of this fractures are extremely unlikely to happen. The toughened glass also keeps outside noise from getting into the building, which is ideal in a setting where noise can distract the members and employees working inside.
Another advantage of using toughened glass is that it limits the chances of accidents occurring including excited youngsters running into them. The automatic sliding system, coupled with the toughened glass door, also ensures that heating and cooling costs are reduced because hot air during the summer and cold air during winter are prevented from getting into the building so a constant and comfortable environment is maintained throughout the year.

Health Club Outcome:

The owners of the Heath Club were very pleased with the outcome of the project. They are confident that the entire door system is made of durable and high quality materials that are perfect for a building that houses several franchises including a restaurant, spa, hair dressers and pool. This is of special concern for a Health Club that expects a lot of heavy traffic through its entrance every day.
The concealed overhead design does not only look good but protects the track too. The bi-part sliding door looks completely chic and modern, yet practical at the same time because of the minimum maintenance required. Outside noises are far less audible from within, and the environment's temperature remains comfortable even if people enter and exit the premises all the time. As an additional benefit, the Health Club should see a significant decrease in their heating bills.
The result of the project was extremely satisfactory. The contemporary Health Club was more than pleased that they contracted ADSF UK LTD for the job.
If you want to enjoy the same benefits for your business whatever the nature call us on 01275 871787 where our team will happily answer any questions that you may have.

Case Study: Brushford Methodist Church:

Automatic Doors
Brushford is an upland village in the county of Devon and is mostly given over to sheep farming and situated on the southern edge of Exmoor. The Methodist Church is an old historic building serving a population of approximately 900 inhabitants. As the Methodist church is a focal point of the community it is used to house play groups and other local amenities including activities during the evenings. This popular church has seen an increase in parishioners over the last couple of years and steps needed to be taken to modernise the exterior of the church building.
How automatic doors from ADSF UK LTD provided a welcoming new frontage to the Evangelist church in Brushford near Devon and conformed to the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) regulations whilst reducing their high heating and energy bills. They in addition provided a much needed extra communal space to the lobby area of the church.
METHODIST CHURCH BRUSHFORD SITUATION:
The ministers of the Methodist Church in Brushford contacted ADSF UK LTD to help them find an automatic entrance system for the entrance of their church. A disabled ramp has already been installed to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act of 1995. (This is now known as the Equalities Act) however; automatic doors were also required in order to complete their compliance.
The general opinion of the parishioners and ministers was that a much larger entrance to the church was needed. It was agreed that if the church entrance was opened up it should make it far more welcoming and also bring more natural light into the church and hall. The parishioners wanted the entrance to be more like a lobby – providing the church with extra space at the front, as well as having somewhere for the congregation to chat, wait for public transport or lifts from family and friends away from the harsh outside elements.

METHODIST CHURCH AUTOMATIC DOOR SOLUTION:

ADSF UK LTD supplied and installed 1no Aluminium Entrance Screens which are often used as part of shop fronts, with 1no Premis Euro slide Automatic Bi-Part Opener to the church. The existing doorway was significantly widened, the large entrance screen that reached up to the roof area consisted of large windows all the way round the entrance and a second inner entrance way was also surrounded by large white aluminium frame windows.

METHODIST CHURCH OUTCOME:

As well as now being in full compliance with the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) the new church front was more accessible for all population groups. The automatic doors enabled the elderly and disabled parishioners to enter and exit the church with comfort and ease. The beauty of the automatic doors is that they cannot be left open, and this meant that when weddings, christenings, processions and harvest festivals were taking place the doors did not have to be propped open which helped keep expensive heat inside the church where it should be. The harsh elements were kept firmly at bay and the cold wind could not penetrate the church building. The automatic doors will assist in the reduction of energy costs over a period of time.

AUTOMATIC DOORS ADDITIONAL BENEFITS.

Another positive outcome is that the front of the Methodist Church is now a more open and welcoming space. The congregation can stop and chat in this area with plenty of room and still be safe from the outside elements. The Minister can meet and greet the parishioners on the way in or out and there is more communal time together before everybody leaves or even goes inside the worship area. During the dreadful weather conditions that we experience here in Great Britain it is refreshing for the parishioners to know that they can wait inside in the warm and dry for their transportation home.
The large windows at the frontage of the building allowed natural light to flood into the heart of the church which again helps reduce electricity bills.
This design of an open plan makes the church appear more open and far more welcoming which also has a strong positive effect on how the church is viewed. Everyone associated with the Methodist church was more than pleased with the outcome of the new entrance system.
ADSF UK LTD can plan, design, manufacture and install a new automatic door entrance system to meet your individual business requirements. Whether you require new automatic doors, automatic door operators or shop front / entrance screens ADSF UK LTD can assist you and you can be rest assured of a reliable, quality and safe product.

Automatic Doors: Case Study: Brenden Guest House

Brenden Guest House is a Victorian house dating from the 1850s at Brenden which has been welcoming visitors from all over the world since the 1940s and perhaps before. The guest house is very busy and popular with students and other young people from China, Taiwan, Japan and America.
Brenden Guest House is on a quiet street without parking restrictions just around the corner from the heart of the Brenden Hills. There are public houses and a variety of cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets close at hand so the location of the Guest House is in a prime position.

Brenden House Situation:

Quite recently, this popular guest house approached ADSF UK LTD for assistance in designing an automatic door solution for the front of their Victorian Guest House. The guest house accommodates a vast number of visitors throughout the year who both arrive and leave with their luggage. As the Guest house caters for all population groups but in particular for the younger adults it is always busy with the guests in and out throughout the daytime and the evening. The Guest House structure requires an environment which must be temperature controlled to ensure the guests comfort throughout the day and the night. It is in addition required to combine the essential Guest House security systems and to prevent extensive and costly repairs.
Automatic Doors

Automatic Door Solution:

In order to meet the needs of the client in their entirety, ADSF UK LTD fitted Premis automatic door closers with a fairly large frontage to protect all the guests waiting for taxis from the elements and also keep their luggage dry. The automatic door system utilised automatic bi-part sliding entrance screens for both the inner and outer main entrance of the building structure; providing both security and energy efficiency to the structure. The automatic doors consist of aluminium which is a light yet durable material that offers the ideal solution for both the inner and outer main entrance of the hotel. The system was manufactured to the precise specifications of the hotel’s main entrance following a survey by the CAD team which was then presented to the client for approval.

Automatic Door Outcome:

The effective circulation of air with the automatic door system installation assisted the busy guest house and its employees to prevent uncomfortable and possibly damaging inefficiencies in the temperature control of the building. Additionally, the innovative new system provided the client with the assurance of an effective and efficient temperature controlled environment for their guests 24 hours a day. The new automatic door system provided a cost effective, attractive and efficient solution which was perfect for the guest houses needs. The double entrance doors are linked to open in sequence which offered visitors a large, easily accessible entrance. With the successful retaining of heat and increased security, the automatic bi-part sliding entrance screens for both the inner and outer main entrance of the guest house proved to be immensely advantageous to the client.

Automatic Door System: Additional Benefits:

With the newly installed automatic doors, the guest house was better able to provide guests with a simplified way in which they could both enter and exit the premises with their entire luggage. In addition, the overhanging roof on the entrance offered a dry escape from damp weather conditions for guests awaiting taxi cabs or other forms of transportation or just waiting for friends. The automatic doors allow guests and employees easy access to the lobby with an additional extra warm welcome. The client found that the new system featured a fundamental advantage of maintaining a comfortable temperature within the lobby area.
Yet another advantage of automatic being installed at your business premises is that they significantly reduce energy costs. The automatic doors work on sensor beams that 'sense' when an individual approaches and then open up automatically allowing them to pass through the entrance/exit ways with ease and comfort. Automatic doors are far safer than the old manual doors that are heavy and difficult to open. The traditional doors are known for both slamming shut on people and for trapping body parts inside.

If you think you would like to proceed with purchasing automatic sliding doors ADSF UK LTD will assist you through every step of the way, from design and style to installation, making the process as straightforward as possible.
Of course you will discover advantages related to all types of automatic doors and the most beneficial is that automatic doors improve access. Unsatisfactory access prevents customers from entering your premises which is absurd! Automatic doors solve this issue by making your business accessible for all population groups. It is not only the disabled and elderly who struggle with the old style manual doors, customers carrying bags or pushing a trolley or pram will be delighted that the doors open up automatically for them allowing them to manoeuvre through the entrance/exits way with comfort and ease.
Yet another benefit is that automatic doors assist in the management of daily pedestrian traffic in and out of the premises. Over-crowding at key times of the day is a typical difficulty experienced by businesses, automatic doors maintain an even traffic flow in and out of your business without causing congestion and discomfort.
Trying to keep within budget is a headache for any business and owners are continuously trying to reduce overheads and automatic doors can help you sustain your costs. They decrease the heat lost from your premises by only opening and closing when a customer approaches. Unfortunately, manual doors are frequently left open by absent minded customers and employees. Not only will energy bills decrease somewhat, the unfavourable effect of your business on the natural environment is limited.

Case Study: Call Centre: Bristol:

It is not always necessary to replace or fit new automatic doors, sometimes the existing doors can be used in conjunction with new automatic door operators. Re-fitting existing automatic doors can significantly reduce costs and also ensure that the doors are working efficiently and above all safely.
Automatic Doors

ADSF UK LTD - Automatic Door Situation:

The electricity provider based in Temple Quay in Bristol is housed in a large office complex which is spread over four levels. The large and very busy call centre provides customer service, servicing and new business divisions alongside a new department for other utilities and that has seen the introduction of around 30 more jobs at the site. With the increase in employees accessing and exiting the premises the management company felt that it was time to replace their existing automatic swing door openers that had certainly seen better times and were not operating efficiently. A smooth entry and exit to and from the building office complex was required, not just for the hundreds of employees working there but for the many visitors to the call centre on a daily basis. In addition to these requirements, the security of the site needed upgrading.
The automatic door openers currently in use did not have enough functionality to meet the new business requirements and unfortunately the sensors had become faulty with the excessive use. Due to these issues with the sensors concerns surrounding health and safety were raised as the sensors were often unable to detect objects or people that were in the path of the sensors.

ADSF UK LTD - Automatic Doors Solution:

As a budget friendly solution to the aims and objectives set out by the Electric provider and in answer to the problems with their old automatic door openers, ADSF UK LTD installed a new set of Premis 120 automatic swing door openers that are equipped with an array of accessories. ADSF UK LTD selected the Premis 120 automatic door operators and therefore the current doors could still be used. The Premis range of reliable and quality door openers are perfect for installing on any style of automatic doors.
The new set of automatic door openers came with an array of accessories that included push arms for the outward opening doors, push pads and key switches. The On-Door safety sensors detected if there are people or objects around the back of the door whilst activation sensors automatically open up the door as an individual approaches.
As security was in need of addressing at the call centre an access control system was installed. This meant that only authorised employees and visitors can access the building. The beauty of this access control is that it is perfect for individuals wishing to enter the office premises outside of normal working hours.

ADSF UK LTD – Automatic Doors Outcome:

ADSF UK LTD commissioned the automatic doors after the high level install to ensure that everything was in order and working correctly and above all safely. The client was exceptionally pleased with the outcome which was far above and beyond their expectations.
All the concerns around the safety and security of the employees and visitors to the offices have been put to bed and there is no need for management to worry about the safety of everybody using the building due to the old faulty automatic door sensors, neither do they have to worry about keeping the office premises safe and secure after office hours.
Regardless of the huge numbers of employees and visitors that enter and exit the office complexion on a daily basis there has been no overcrowding in their entranceway. The automatic door operators are made of a high quality and durable material making them ideal for this purpose. The automatic doors will stay looking smart for a long time to come and they should not need to be replaced in the foreseeable future.
The key switch also proved very useful especially when deliveries were being made and the doors needed to be left open, the drivers were then able to enter and exit the offices without having to ask for assistance from the employees.

ADSF UK LTD – Additional Benefits

The new automatic door operators worked both efficiently and reliably, they opened and closed after people had entered and exited the complex and that ensured that the heat was successfully retained within the premises, significantly reducing expensive utility bills.
