It’s important for a business to make a good first
impression to visitors. When a customer
or contractor visits a company premises for the first time, they will feel more
relaxed and willing to trust the business if they like what they see. Not all businesses will have a car park which
is available for customers, however that can help. It’s also important for the reception area to
be smart and free from litter or graffiti.
One way of helping the reception area to appear more
professional is to install automatic sliding doors. The doors can be designed and fitted to most
styles of building and not only look aesthetically pleasing, but are also
effective safety measures. Many sliding
door systems are operated by a swipe card or access code, which means that only
certain personnel are able to gain access to the building independently. Visitors can then be let into the reception area
if a receptionist or other worker opens the door from the inside. This may be
via a door release button which can be located on the reception desk.
Of course, automatic sliding doors are also effective money
saving devices in terms of saving heat within a building. Whereas a conventional door may be left wide
open by a member of staff or perhaps is often left ajar, a sliding door will
close securely after each use. This can
save the loss of heat from the building, which can help to reduce energy bills.
Many workers can also benefit from the sliding doors if they
are required to carry heavy packages or wheel trolleys in and out of a
building. If the automatic door opens
with little effort, then this means time is not wasted by the worker having to
put the package on the floor whilst they manually open a conventional door.
Whilst there are many practical advantages of installing a
sliding door system to a business frontage, many business owners will choose to
install the doors because they look professional and help to create a great
first impression for visitors. Sign writing
the company name and logo on the glass may also help to provide that high
quality finish.
