Automatic Sliding Doors for High-Traffic Commercial Entrances
Automatic sliding doors provide an efficient and space-saving access solution for buildings with frequent pedestrian movement. By opening horizontally, they remove the need for swing clearance, allowing for wider, unobstructed entrances that improve flow and ease of access in busy environments.
Commonly specified for retail, healthcare, offices and public buildings, automatic sliding doors are particularly well suited to main entrances where accessibility, safety and reliability are essential. Designed for continuous use, they offer smooth automated operation while integrating seamlessly with modern building layouts and access requirements.

Replacement or New Build
Automatic sliding doors can be specified as part of a new build project or installed as a replacement to upgrade existing entrances. For new builds, systems can be fully integrated into the building design, allowing for optimal layout, smooth operation and compliance with accessibility and safety requirements from the outset.
For replacement projects, automatic sliding doors offer an effective way to modernise entrances and improve pedestrian flow without extensive structural alterations. Existing openings can often be adapted to accommodate automated sliding systems, making them ideal for refurbishments in occupied buildings such as retail spaces, healthcare facilities and public buildings, with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Supply Only or Full Installation Services
Automatic sliding doors can be provided on a supply-only basis for projects where installation is being handled by a contractor or facilities team. In these cases, systems are supplied to specification with the appropriate operators, controls and safety components, supported by clear technical information to ensure correct installation and commissioning.
For a fully managed solution, we also offer complete installation with project management. This includes site assessment, specification support, coordination with other trades, professional installation and final commissioning. A managed approach ensures the system is installed correctly, operates reliably and meets all relevant safety and accessibility requirements, providing a smooth process from initial enquiry through to handover.

Applications and Typical Use Cases
Automatic sliding doors are ideally suited to environments where high volumes of pedestrian traffic require safe, efficient and unobstructed access. Their space-saving operation and smooth automated movement make them a practical choice for main entrances and busy internal zones.
They are commonly used in retail stores, supermarkets, hospitals, clinics, offices, airports and public buildings, where accessibility, flow and reliability are essential. Automatic sliding doors are particularly effective in locations where doors are frequently used throughout the day, helping to reduce congestion while supporting inclusive access and modern building design.
Safety, Compliance and Accessibility
Safety and accessibility are fundamental to the specification of automatic sliding doors, particularly in high-traffic commercial and public environments. Systems are designed to operate smoothly at controlled speeds and incorporate safety sensors that detect users and prevent contact during opening and closing.
Automatic sliding doors can be specified to support UK accessibility requirements, helping to provide inclusive access for all users. When correctly selected, installed and commissioned, they offer a reliable, compliant solution that enhances pedestrian flow while meeting safety and regulatory expectations across a wide range of building types.
Automatic swing door systems can be configured to meet UK accessibility requirements and relevant safety standards. This makes them a reliable solution for buildings where regulatory compliance, user safety and accessibility are critical considerations.
Integration with Existing Doors and Building Systems
Automatic sliding doors can be integrated seamlessly into both new and existing building environments. Systems can often be installed within existing structural openings, allowing automation to be introduced without significantly altering the surrounding fabric or architectural design.
They can also be connected to wider building systems, including access control, safety sensors and fire alarm interfaces, ensuring coordinated and reliable operation. This flexibility makes automatic sliding doors a practical solution for complex commercial buildings where security, accessibility and efficient movement must work together.
