Traffic Barriers, Doors & Gate Automation

Automatic doors offer several benefits for individuals with disabilities (DDA, or Disability Discrimination Act). Some of these benefits include:

• Accessibility: Automatic doors provide easy access for people with mobility impairments, including those who use wheelchairs or mobility aids. They can enter and exit buildings without struggling with heavy manual doors.
• Independence: Automatic doors empower individuals with disabilities to enter and leave buildings independently, without relying on assistance from others.
• Convenience: These doors are also convenient for individuals with temporary injuries, parents with strollers, and people carrying heavy bags, making buildings more inclusive.
• Safety: Automatic doors are designed with safety features such as sensors to prevent accidents. They detect obstructions and prevent the door from closing, reducing the risk of injury.
• Energy Efficiency: Automatic doors can be energy-efficient, as they typically close automatically after a short delay, minimizing heat or cool air loss from the building.
• Compliance: Legislation such as DDA mandates the installation of automatic doors in public buildings to ensure compliance with accessibility standards.
• Improved Flow: Automatic doors can enhance the flow of foot traffic, especially in busy areas, making it easier for everyone to move in and out of a building smoothly.
• Overall, automatic doors play a crucial role in creating a more inclusive and accessible environment for individuals with disabilities, promoting equal opportunities and independence
