Choosing the Right Automatic Door Solution

Selecting the right automatic door for a healthcare setting is a case of evaluating a few key factors, including:

Accessibility requirements – healthcare premises need to be accessible to all users, and you should make sure the door system you choose is DDA compliant
Infection control – reducing touchpoints is crucial in any kind of healthcare environment, and you will need to select a door that keeps surface contact to a minimum, especially in controlled environments
Available space – one of the most obvious considerations is space, as sliding doors, for example, will need more room either side to open, whereas swinging doors are more space efficient
Foot traffic – high traffic environments might benefit more from a revolving or sliding automatic door, as these provide easier flow and don’t intrude into footpaths in any way
Security and access control – some healthcare settings require more stringent security protocols, and selecting the right automatic door is a key part of this, for example, revolving doors can help prevent tailgating
