Accessible Automatic Doors Installation

What are the disability requirements for accessible automatic doors?

Accessible Automatic doors give easy access to those who wish to enter into and around buildings or houses. They also help comply with the Equality Act and Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) regulations necessary for most company and public buildings or landmarks.

Providing easy access and security to all those who are within in the building.

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995

Many organisations, local authorities, shops, schools and employers must take numerous steps to remove all barriers and difficulties that current or future disabled customers, employees, or students may experience.

Everyone should receive the same standard of service, and all public spaces should be easy to access and safe for each person, regardless of ability.

The Equality Act of 2010 states the several changes or adjustments that company buildings, schools or shops should make to their property to ensure that anyone can access them:

  • Places of employment (Office and business buildings, etc.)
  • Housing and Apartment Blocks
  • Educational Facilities (Schools, Colleges, University Buildings)
  • Associations, Organisations and Private Clubs
  • Goods and Hospitality Services (Shops, banks, hospitals, council offices, cinemas, leisure centres, etc.)

Space Management

Many buildings have limited space and it therefore becomes hard to manage the limited space; automatic doors provide an ideal solution for such spaces.

Installation of automatic sliding doors in your premises does not need extra space but traditional doors do.

Safety

We manufacture automatic doors that are well equipped with safety features and comply with BSEN16005 / BS7036.

We will risk assess each installation and provide the appropriate equipment to ensure the levels of risk to contamination, infection, impact, shearing, crushing and drawing in, are either eliminated or reduced to safe levels.

Energy Saving

Automatic doors save energy in many effective ways and reduce the cost of heating and cooling. The door opens only when someone enters and closes after the person passes through it.

This feature of automatic doors eliminates the probability of doors being left open and therefore reduce wastage of energy and loss of heat or air conditioning. Generally, they only require the same amount of electricity to power a light bulb.

Makes Traffic Flow Easy

Commercial spaces such as schools, shops, offices, universities, theatres, and airports, the traffic flow gets high during the busy hours. Customers struggle at such places to pass each other through manual doors or revolving doors.

Automatic doors are an excellent option for controlling pedestrian traffic flow and reducing congestion. They can keep the traffic free-flowing by providing an easy walk through entry and exit way.

If you run a business that has premises that are open to the public then accessibility should be a major concern for you. Is it easy for people to get in to your premises? 

Whether you run a shop, a hotel, a restaurant, or any other form of public facing business, simple accessibility upgrades such as a touchless automatic swing or sliding doors could make a big difference to the way people view your company.
