Entrances shape how people experience your business. In busy environments, manual doors often create friction, congestion and accessibility barriers. For example, customers may arrive with prams, while wheelchair users require easy access. In addition, staff frequently move goods in and out, which can slow down entry points.
As foot traffic increases, queues build up. Furthermore, in many settings, hygiene and controlled access are essential.
An automatic entrance removes these challenges. As a result, it improves safety, accessibility and the overall customer experience.
The well-proven single and double leaf sliding door sits at the centre of the automatic door range. As a result, it is suitable for almost any application. These systems provide smooth operation, reliability and efficient access.
Ideal for:
In situations where sliding doors are not suitable, automatic swing doors provide an effective alternative. They offer accessible, controlled entry and are often used when retrofitting existing entrances.
Suitable for:
Our automatic sliding doors use interchangeable construction principles. Because of this, systems can be adapted safely and efficiently. In turn, this reduces installation time and simplifies ongoing service and maintenance.
Benefits include:
Where space is limited, telescopic doors maximise the available opening width. As a result, they are ideal for busy entrances where efficient flow and compact design are important.
For high-end or high-traffic environments, revolving automatic doors provide controlled access while managing airflow and energy efficiency. Consequently, they are often used in commercial buildings and premium entrances.
Automatic doors can be integrated with secure entry systems. Options include:
Shopfronts that attract customers and reflect your brand from the street.
Systems for new builds — manufactured to spec and on your programme.
Fast quotes, accurate manufacturing, no delays on your project.
We work from drawings. Custom profiles, any finish, any opening.
