Sliding doors
The widest clear opening for the heaviest footfall. The go-to choice for hospitals, supermarkets and any entrance with a constant flow of people, beds or goods.
An entrance that opens the moment it should
Automatic doors make a building easier to use for everyone: people with limited mobility, staff with trolleys and equipment, visitors with their hands full. They help you meet accessibility duties, keep heat in and give your entrance a calm, confident first impression.
We design, supply, install, repair and maintain every common automatic door type. Because we are independent, we specify the operator and door set that suit your opening, your traffic and your budget, not a single manufacturer’s catalogue.
