Extracts taken from Dorma:
Automatic doors are the ideal solution to access into and around a building to meet the spirit of SENDA (Special Education Needs and Disability Act). Approved Document M states “A powered door opening and closing system, either manually controlled or automatically operated by sensors, is the most satisfactory solution for most people.”
Automatic doors provide a means of opening and closing doors without the need for physical effort. For many people who lack physical ability or who are encumbered by bags containing text books or sports equipment, heavy manual doors can be a barrier to access. Automatic doors remove that barrier and reduce the maintenance costs associated with corridors and entrances that receive a large footfall.
A revolving door acts as an airlock keeping out draughts, noise, dust and dirt. They can be tailored to your exact requirements, though we would always recommend fitting automatic pass doors to allow for access by those who do not wish to, or cannot, access the revolving door.
