Why choose an automatic sliding door?

your choices

Your Automatic sliding Door

Single Sliding Door

The single sliding automatic door is the perfect solution if you’re tight on space. These versatile doors can be fitted into most spaces making them hugely flexible.

Telescopic Sliding Doors

Telescopic sliding doors are for two or more doors that can be slid to one side simultaneously. One door can be slid next to the other so both are resting on one side, all done automatically. This allows for a larger opening than standard sliding doors.

Double Sliding Doors

Double sliding doors provide even greater access for passing pedestrians and machinery. The doors part in the centre providing an even and equal opening.

Key Benefits of Automatic sliding doors

Improved Accessibility

Automatic sliding doors provide smooth, hands-free access, making them ideal for buildings with high pedestrian traffic. They support inclusive access for wheelchair users, pushchairs, and those with limited mobility, helping businesses meet DDA requirements while improving overall visitor flow and reducing congestion at entrances.

 

Energy Efficiency

Fast-acting sensors and controlled opening widths help minimise heat loss by ensuring doors only open when required and close quickly after use. This reduces draughts and energy waste, making automatic sliding doors a practical solution for maintaining internal temperatures in busy commercial environments such as retail stores and hospitals.

 

Hygiene & Safety

Touch-free activation reduces physical contact, supporting hygiene control in healthcare, food retail, and high-use public buildings. Integrated safety sensors and presence detection systems help prevent accidents by stopping or reversing door movement when obstructions are detected, ensuring safe operation for all users.

 

Flexible Configurations

Automatic sliding doors can be configured to suit a wide range of openings, including single or bi-parting doors, telescopic systems for restricted spaces, and curved designs for architectural features. This flexibility allows entrances to be tailored to traffic flow, aesthetics, and structural constraints.

 

Seamless Integrations

Modern automatic sliding door systems can be integrated with access control, fire alarms, building management systems, and security infrastructure. This allows doors to respond automatically in emergency situations, restricted access periods, or secure environments, making them suitable for complex commercial and public sector buildings.
