What are the benefits of having an Automatic Door installed?

Energy Efficiency

Automatic doors operate only when necessary, closing promptly to maintain a consistent indoor temperature. This helps reduce energy consumption by minimising the loss of heated or cooled air.

Convenience and Accessibility

Automatic doors significantly enhance ease of access, particularly for high traffic areas, individuals with disabilities, the elderly, or those carrying heavy items. By eliminating the need to physically open doors, they provide a seamless experience, especially beneficial in hospitals, retail stores, and office buildings where foot traffic is constant.

Improved Hygiene

Since automatic doors function without direct contact, they help maintain cleanliness by reducing the spread of germs. This is particularly important in environments such as restaurants, healthcare facilities where hygiene is a priority – an essential consideration in the post-pandemic era.

Enhanced Security

Automatic doors can be integrated with security systems, allowing for controlled access through keycards, passcodes, or biometric authentication. This feature is particularly valuable in offices, high-security facilities, and buildings housing sensitive information or valuable assets.

Modern and Professional Look

Automatic doors offer a sleek, contemporary appearance than enhances the overall impression of a building. They add a touch of sophistication, making business appear more professional and welcoming to visitors and customers.

Efficient Traffic Flow

In high-traffic locations such as shopping centres and airports, automatic doors facilitate smooth movement by eliminating congestion at entry and exit points. Their rapid response to approaching individuals ensures an uninterrupted flow, which is especial beneficial in busy environments.
