Shopfronts & entrances
Automatic sliding doors
Put simply, automatic sliding doors are sensor-operated entrances that help meet accessibility duties, measured on site and installed by one team from survey to sign-off.
The detail
Glass in the critical zones is safety glass as standard, toughened or laminated to suit the position. The finished frontage is sealed to the structure and checked for level, square and smooth door operation before we leave. Where the unit is in a conservation area, sections and colours are chosen with the planning officer's expectations in mind.
Why Shopfronts Doors Windows
An elevation looks right when the shopfront, the entrance doors and the windows above share the same sightlines and colour. We survey the whole face of the building and draw it as one scheme, then phase the work if the budget needs it.
Options and specification
- Break-out leaves where the door is an escape route
- Maintenance and safety check options
- Single or bi-parting sliding leaves
