The Disability Discrimination Act was first launched in 1995 and is now known as the Equalities Act. It applies to the built environment and places duty of care upon service providers to make certain practical modifications to the physical functions and features of their properties and is designed to alleviate physical obstacles to access. It is applicable to everybody who provides services to the community irrespective of their size. There are several ways that a business can contribute towards the DDA regulations either by utilising ramps or elevators. However one certain way of being DDA compliant is to install automatic doors at your business premises.
Automatic Doors
Automatic doors are ideal for access into and out of a building. They operate silently on sensors which detect when an individual is approaching and then open and close directly after the individual has passed safely through. Automatic doors provide easy and straightforward access for all population groups and provide a method of opening and closing doors without the need of any kind of physical effort.
For the elderly population group who may lack the energy to open up an old heavy door or for families who may be restricted by shopping or pushchairs, cumbersome hand-operated doors are challenging and awkward to access. Automatic doors will of course eliminate these issues.
There are several automated door systems available today and it is therefore recommended that you seek professional advice prior to purchasing automatic doors. ADSF UK LTD is a well established automatic door and shop front company with years of experience in this industry. Our sales and design teams will happily discuss all your requirements with you so that you will benefit from the most suitable door system to meet your individual requirements.
