The Sustainability decree highlights the value of the automatic door sector
The Royal Decree on Economic Sustainability 14/2022 has highlighted the usefulness of automatic doors, which, as Aprimatic, a company that will be taking part in SMART DOORS 2022, points out, have a number of advantages such as energy saving, acoustic insulation, universal accessibility and hygiene.
It is possible to comply with the royal decree by installing a simple automatic lock or an automatic door. According to Aprimatic, the automatic door, in addition to guaranteeing greater energy savings, as it opens and closes automatically, provides a number of other advantages and features.
However, for establishments where it is not possible to install an automatic sliding glass door for reasons of space, the most appropriate solution is to automate the door with no other modifications than installing a motor, thus converting it into an automatic swing door. By changing from a manual swing door to an automatic door, the company demonstrates that it cares about the convenience and comfort of its customers, which is an added value for its brand.
Advantages
Installing an automatic door made of glass, wood, wrought iron or aluminium is a wise choice when it comes to making access easier for customers. There are various types of automatic doors adapted to different spaces and requirements: hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, opticians, supermarkets, car dealerships, petrol stations, etc.
Aprimatic lists below the benefits of installing an automatic door in a shop or establishment:
Energy savings. The installation of an automatic glass door ensures that the door will always remain closed when it is not needed, contributing to energy savings by avoiding the loss of heat or cooling in the establishment, as the door will only remain open for the time necessary, which represents a great energy saving if certified profiles are used for this purpose.
Acoustic insulation. The materials used in the manufacture of automatic doors not only offer excellent thermal insulation but also provide good acoustic insulation.
Guaranteeing universal accessibility. Perhaps the most important thing for a business about installing an automatic door is to ensure access to all customers with no architectural barriers. People with reduced mobility or visual impairment often find the entrance door a major obstacle. In the case of swing doors, the doors are too heavy and are a problem for wheelchair users or the elderly. In this respect, the installation of an automatic door guarantees easy and safe access to the establishment.
Maximum hygiene. The door opens and closes without any physical contact. Avoiding the use of knobs, handles or pull bars means a high level of safety and hygiene against any infection by viruses or bacteria.
For any space. There is a wide range of solutions for automatic opening and closing for any type of use or application (residential, industrial, shops and offices, access control, etc.).
It respects the existing architectural style as the visual impact is minimal thanks to the wide variety of solutions with profiles designed for this purpose.
