The Case for High Speed doors and Automatic
pedestrian door operators.
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 personel.
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.
Include all Public Access doors to premises such as shops, hospitals,
hotels, airports, retail warehouses etc and are generally, glazed
with an aluminum frame, but not always, with timber and steel often
employed.
However the same rules apply as with High Speed Doors, the safe and
secure passage of the public and indeed personnel with minimal loss
of an energy expensive environment.
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.
Ditec doors and operators offer benefits including but not limited
to the following,
