Commercial Automatic Doors: Do I Need Them for My Business?

When you are a business owner, having stylish but functional features is a necessity. The look and feel of your business premise can say a lot about your company, so it is important to choose the best designed doors for your workplace in order to create a professional feel without compromising on security.

There are many types of automatic doors, all of which have different functions and styles. These are the different types of automatic doors available for commercial complexes and each of their characteristics.

Automatic Sliding Doors

One of the most common types of automatic doors is automatic sliding doors. Automatic sliding doors consist of a motorised track and often two sets of sliding panel doors. When a person steps on the sensor plate, these panels will move seamlessly out of their way. Sliding doors are a great way to manage entering and exiting patrons at the same time, and are available in a range of sleek, professional looking designs.

Automatic Swing Doors

On the other hand, automatic swinging doors work by moving a door along a hinge rather than sliding it horizontally out the way. Depending on the flow of the traffic, they can open inwards or outwards. Swing doors are best suited for automating existing doors or replacing existing swing door sets. They are often used in corridors of hospitals, schools and public buildings.

Automatic Revolving Doors

Automatic revolving doors are often seen in offices. They are an environmentally friendly alternative to swing doors because they let in eight times less air than swing doors. This is because the door is never fully open so it stops external air from entering the building, which means business owners save money on the reduction of electricity, heating, lighting etc used in the building.

Automatic Folding Doors

Automatic folding doors are ideal for when space is limited. They are mostly seen in hospitals, restaurants, retirement homes and hotels. Automatic folding doors allow the most amount of light into your business, and create a workplace that feels airy, light and professional.

Other Security Options for Your Business

While automatic doors provide a protective but stylish barrier for your business, there are many other different types of security solutions which could take the level of security in your building to the next level.
