Design features of glass revolving and sliding doors

A revolving glass door, which is also called a rotating glass door, will usually consist of three or four doors, hanging on a central beam and rotating around a vertical axis inside a cylindrical enclosure. Nowadays, these doors have gained extreme popularity among both homeowners as well as business owners. This is the reason that they are considered the most energy-efficient doors. They are capable of functioning as airtight doors, preventing external noise and air from entering the room.

A revolving door will also be capable of preventing drafts, making it reduce the loss of cooling or heating for the building. These doors are still being used in many large, public buildings at street level. Although these doors are a bit more irritating to use than standard swing doors, they are considered the most power-efficient accessories.

A revolving glass door consists of a series of panels, usually four, which rotate to facilitate people to enter and exit a building. You can find these doors at large department stores and airports, as they allow people to enter or exit the building swiftly.

An automatic sliding door, which is also referred to as an auto door, will open and close automatically. They will usually sense the approach of an individual and open automatically and close once the person crosses them. These sliding doors are celebrated for their space-saving capability, as they open and close sideways without occupying other space. It makes them suitable to use in places where space is a constraint or there is heavy traffic.

An automatic glass sliding door is capable of providing two-way traffic effectively. The beneficial design feature of these doors is the breakaway or breakout feature. With this feature, these doors are capable of swinging when they are pushed out during emergencies. Thus, these doors are largely used in places that need emergency outlet capability.

Automatic glass sliding doors are available in a range of configurations, including single slide,  traditional bi-parting, and telescoping versions. The door needs enough slide space in which it can move. These doors come equipped with suitable control mats or sensors as well as safety signage.
