NEWS ARTICLE ARCHIVESHigh speed pedestrian doors by Automatic Doors![]() High Speed Automatic Doors also known as Fast Roll Doors, Fast Rise Doors, Rapid Roll Doors, Speed Doors and Fold Up Doors. The world now realizes the effects of global warming and is committed to reducing the emissions that contributes to this phenomenon. Chief among these is the burning of fossil fuels for the production of electricity; anything that can help cut down the excessive unnecessary use of electricity is to be welcomed. The longer a door is open the more heated or conditioned air is lost; if the air is chilled the energy loss is all the greater. This applies inside buildings as well, if one part of a building is heated and another not, then drafts occur which are injurious to workers health, morale and industrial relations. Equally so where different processes exist in the same building, the longer a door is open the more the transfer occurs of inappropriate matter, be it dust, chemicals or noxious odours to the detriment of product, production and personnel. Sophisticated detection and activation electronic devices now allow for close control of vehicular traffic and as a result air displacement is kept to the minimum with the resulting savings in cost and energy consumption. Safety issues are fully addressed in the specification of Ditec doors as are issues of security, flexible high speed doors are not security shutters as such, but are infinitely more secure than a door left open, where all and sundry can wander in to filch, pilfer or indeed put themselves in harms way. Safety and security are especially important where there is a mix of public and commercial traffic as in retail warehouses and the like, here high speed doors can provide a very effective and efficient barrier between public and non-public areas.
Automatic Pedestrian Doors There are of course other issues at stake here not least the Right of Access issue for the disabled, the infirm or indeed often the simply feeble who very often struggle to open doors that those more fortunate amongst us take in our stride. The Ditec PA range contains a solution to every problem, from the large glazed entrance of a major high street store, right down to the bathroom door of a private house, through to the flow through terrace doors of a luxury penthouse. Another major benefit of the Ditec sliding door operator range is that they are completely generic, that is they will replace any operator on the AU market today at a significant saving over the original equipment with no loss of quality or efficiency. Indeed Ditec operators are generally of a higher quality than the expensive units they replace. No more need to be held to ransom by the big boys and a world of access outcomes to explore. |
