Accessible, Space-Efficient Automatic Entrances
Create a welcoming, convenient and accessible entrance with automatic sliding doors from Pressford Shutters.
Automatic sliding doors move horizontally rather than opening into the surrounding floor area. This makes them particularly suitable for busy entrances, confined spaces and buildings where efficient pedestrian movement is important.
Activated automatically as a person approaches, the doors provide smooth, hands-free access for customers, employees and visitors. They can also make premises easier to navigate for wheelchair users, people with reduced mobility and anyone carrying bags, equipment or deliveries.
Automatic sliding doors are suitable for a wide range of commercial and public environments, including shops, offices, healthcare facilities, hotels, educational buildings and leisure premises.
- Efficient use of the available entrance space
- Smooth, hands-free operation
- Improved accessibility for building users
- Suitable for entrances with frequent pedestrian traffic
Pressford Shutters can assess your entrance and recommend an automatic sliding door configuration that meets the practical, architectural and access requirements of your premises.
Technical Specification:
Door Configuration
Available in single-sliding, bi-parting and telescopic arrangements, depending on the entrance width, available side space and required clear opening.
Activation
Automatic activation can be provided through motion sensors, presence sensors, push pads or compatible access-control equipment.
Safety Systems
Safety and presence-detection devices monitor the doorway and surrounding movement zones, helping the doors operate safely around pedestrians and reduce the risk of contact or entrapment.
Operating Controls
Control options may include automatic, hold-open, controlled-access and locked operating modes. The available functions will depend on the selected operator and the requirements of the building.
Frames and Glazing
Systems can be supplied with aluminium frames and glazed door leaves in a choice of configurations and finishes to complement the appearance of the building.
Compliance
Each installation is assessed according to its location, expected users and operating environment. Systems can be specified and installed in accordance with applicable powered pedestrian door safety requirements, including BS EN 16005 and relevant risk-assessment guidance. All technical details are subject to the selected automatic door system and a site survey.
