The Benefi ts of Automatic Revolving Doors: A Modern Solution for Today’s Architecture
By Andy Iredale, National Sales Manager (Automatics) at GEZE UK

n an age where effi ciency, sustainability, and user experience are paramount in building design,
automatic revolving
doors emerge as a compelling choice. These architectural features do more than just add a touch of elegance to a building’s entrance; they offer a range of benefi ts that enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Let’s now explore those benefi ts in more detail.
Energy Effi ciency One of the most signifi cant benefi ts of automatic revolving doors is their energy effi ciency. Unlike traditional swinging doors, revolving doors create a barrier that minimises the exchange of indoor and outdoor air. This design prevents drafts and helps maintain a consistent indoor climate, reducing the reliance on heating and cooling systems. In a world grappling with climate change and rising energy costs, utilising revolving doors can lead to signifi cant savings on energy bills.
Improved Traffi c Flow
Automatic revolving doors are designed to facilitate the seamless movement of people in and out of a building. In high-traffi c areas, such as hotels and shopping centres, they allow for a continuous fl ow of foot traffi c without the need for manual operation. This not only speeds up entry and exit but also reduces congestion at the entrance, creating a more pleasant visitor experience.
Aesthetic Appeal
From an architectural standpoint, automatic revolving doors are undeniably striking. They provide a sleek and contemporary look that enhances a building’s facade. With various design options available – ranging from glass fi nishes to custom sizes – these doors can be tailored to match the specifi c aesthetic of any building. A well-designed entrance can set the tone for a positive fi rst impression,
making automatic revolving
doors an attractive choice for businesses looking to make an impact.
Noise Reduction In urban environments, noise pollution is an ever-present challenge. Automatic revolving doors
can help mitigate this issue by
creating a sound barrier between the bustling outside world and the tranquillity within. This reduction in noise enhances the overall comfort of occupants, making spaces more enjoyable for both visitors and employees.
Enhanced Hygiene
Hygiene can be enhanced by reducing the need for people to touch door handles or push doors, helping to limit the spread of germs and bacteria. Motion sensors that detect movement and automatically open and close doors can achieve this. This is especially important in high-traffi c areas like hospitals,
