The use of Automatic doors, (sometimes known as powered pedestrian doors), is now commonplace across all types of property; civic, retail, offices, healthcare, education, passenger transport hubs, and more recently within private residential properties, as their ability to improve access and comfort for all building users is universally recognised.
In addition to ease of access and convenience, automatic doors provide a contact-less means of building entry and exit as part of a hygienic built environment by reducing the need to touch doors and handles.
