Installing Automatically Sliding Doors To Create A Great First Impression

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.
