Automatic doors are becoming an extremely popular feature as an addition to any shopfront. With the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) now actively in force, access for everyone, whatever their limitations, needs to be catered for into any retail outlet, office etc. This type of entrance access is ideally suitable for areas where their is likely to be heavy human traffic.
Simply described, automatic doors operate once the fitted sensor's signal has been breached by someone approaching the doorway. They close automatically as well once the signal has been regained, but a fail safe safety feature is also fitted in case someone has stopped in the doorway.
These door are constructed normally using the aluminium box section profile housing the laminated safety glazing, but can also be manufactured using a 'frameless' toughened glazed method. Their sleek design and efficient operation provide every business with an extremely practical but modern solution for everyday access.
