Automatic Sliding Door

Automatic door systems need to take many factors into account. Depending on the type of building and environment, comfort, convenience, safety, security and design all determine the day-to-day suitability of the door system concerned. Hygiene, energy-efficiency and regulated pedestrian flow also need to be considered. Gilgen Door Systems offers you a wide range of products centred on automatic sliding doors, folding doors, curved sliding doors and revolving doors; all designed to meet the highest respective standards and performance criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is an automatic sliding door?
An automatic sliding door opens and closes on its own by sliding sideways when a sensor detects a person approaching. It makes entry hands-free and keeps the entrance closed when no one is passing through.

2. Where can automatic sliding doors be installed?
They are suitable for most commercial and public buildings, including malls, shops, hotels, hospitals, offices, banks, airports and residential buildings.

3. Are automatic sliding doors energy-efficient?
Yes. Because they open only when needed and close quickly afterwards, they help reduce the loss of air-conditioned air and can lower cooling costs.

4. Are automatic doors safe for children and elderly people?
Automatic doors use safety sensors that monitor the door area and stop or reverse the door if someone is in the way. Gilgen systems are designed to meet relevant safety standards such as EN 16005.

5. What happens to an automatic door during a power cut?
Depending on the model and configuration, automatic doors can be fitted with a battery backup or can be opened manually, so the entrance can still be used.

6. Which type of automatic door is right for my building?
It depends on the opening width, number of visitors, climate control needs and the look you want. Sliding doors suit most entrances, folding doors suit narrow openings, curved doors make a design statement and revolving doors help control airflow.

7. How often should automatic doors be serviced?
Regular maintenance keeps the door safe and reliable. Most doors should be serviced at least once a year, and doors in high-traffic areas may need more frequent checks.

8. How much does an automatic sliding door cost?
The cost depends on the door type, size, glass, operator and any extra features such as access control. Contact SQT Solutions for a site visit and a tailored quotation.
