It is certainly not unusual these days to see automatic doors in a variety of buildings throughout the United Kingdom. The first ones being installed around 40 years ago in swanky hotels, airports, and then supermarkets.
Other businesses and service providers quickly followed suit and the popularity of automatic doors has swept the nation. Office complexes, shopping malls, restaurants, retail outlets, coach stations, nursing/residential care homes and leisure centres are all feeling the benefits of having automatic doors installed.
Quite apart from the stunning appearance that these automatic doors deliver comes DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliance and fantastic customer service. Of course automatic doors are advantageous for the disabled and elderly population groups, but in addition they assist individuals that may be carrying several bags and personal items. Young families with pushchairs in tow and business people rushing into work will also find automatic doors a welcoming sight.
There are of course safety issues surrounding the old style manual doors, they are rather heavy and cumbersome and individuals have been known to trap their fingers inside and even have the doors bang or slam into them. Manual doors are not suitable for wheelchair users or people using mobility aides. Elderly people will struggle with the doors and only one person can pass through the doorway at a time.
Yet another benefit of installing automatic doors is that they help reduce overheads and heating costs are significantly reduced. The automatic doors only open up as an individual approaches and shut directly afterwards which means precious heat is retained within the building. During the rare summer months that we experience in this country expensive air conditioning units do not have to work hard as the automatic doors help to keep a constant temperature within the premises.
These days, there are several types of automatic doors available, the most popular being the automatic sliding doors and the automatic swing doors. The automatic doors are also available in frameless glass and this design is sweeping the nation by storm.
