High-tech solution for Morrisons
Morrisons recently opened a new store in Stowmarket. Ensuring easy access for trolley-laden customers, TORMAX automatic sliding doors have been installed to create an efficient entry and exit system. Utilising TORMAX iMotion technology, the door operators deliver reliable performance under busy conditions whilst offering a sustainable solution by significantly reducing heating bills through effective heat retention. As an additional tick in the ‘green’ box, iMotion operators are almost entirely manufactured using recyclable material. Dotcom Glazing Ltd were responsible for the glass entrance to the store and specified TORMAX to install three sets of bi-parting automatic doors, with two extending telescopically to fit within available opening width. “The iMotion 2301 sliding door operators represent a hi- tech solution that delivers on all fronts,” Ray Kemp, commercial manager at Dotcom Glazing says. “The telescopic option allows us to fit sliding doors into a space that otherwise would be too small.” Capable of giving a clear opening width of up to 3800mm, and contained in an exceptionally slim profile, the telescopic iMotion 2301 offers a powerful solution suitable for a wide variety of locations.

GEZE gives Beaufort House curve appeal
The striking 12-storey Beaufort House in the heart of the City of London has been transformed by the installation of an individually designed, oval-shaped entrance lobby with curved automatic doors from GEZE UK. Home to stockbrokers, solicitors, telecoms and insurance companies, Beaufort House has been refurbished by Osel Architecture who envisioned a large, wholly original entrance that makes a dramatic statement to all staff and visitors, and complements the building’s grand 60ft-high atrium. Specialist fit-out firm Sykes, sought
out GEZE UK, to help deliver this very unusual project with minimal disruption. The lobby’s unique oval design features two automatic bi-parting sliding outer glass doors, which are gently curved, and two identical inner doors, maximising footfall, minimising heat loss or gain and enabling access for all. GEZE’s energy-efficient Slimdrive SC, a curved automatic door operator, was chosen for its sleek appearance and versatility as it can be tailored to bespoke radii and door dimensions, as well as meeting the highest efficiency and quality standards.
