Customised automatic doors in small shops

Customised automatic doors in small shops

Small shops are increasingly competing with large supermarkets, especially in achieving notoriety, an image, and customer satisfaction. In this scenario, it is essential to stand out and provide a differential value. The entrance of a shop is a key experience: it is the first impression of a person on the premises, and it transmits much more than functionality. Manusa automatic doors, thanks to their wide customisation options, allow for adaptation of access to the specific needs of each shop and promote customer visits.

The choice of door model is the first step in customisation. In small shops, where the main entrance often serves customers and suppliers, automatic opening makes it easier for people carrying bags or goods to pass through. On the other hand, opting for a glazed door means extending the adjoining shop window and facilitates the visibility of the products and the activity from the outside.

For busy premises, such as a pharmacy or food shop, standard automatic sliding doors are an ideal choice, also improving hygiene by preventing physical contact. The operator can also be integrated into the design of the room to conceal it and maintain a clean and elegant aesthetic.

For particularly narrow entrances, automatic telescopic doors or automatic swing doors optimise the opening width without hindering the flow of traffic. And depending on the façade, curved sliding doors with two movable leaves offer a unique entrance to shops with a more distinguished character, such as a jewellery shop. If advanced property security is desired, the RC2 automatic burglar-resistant door can be installed, offering extra protection against attempted burglary and vandalism.

Integration of automatic doors into the shop

Another key aspect is the integration of the door in the architectural ensemble of the building and the interior design of the premises. For this purpose, Manusa offers solutions that respect the original style of the shop. One of them is the customisation of the profiles. Depending on the model, the doors can be of naked glazed leaves (with an upper and a lower profile) or transparent (with only an upper profile), which offer full visibility and interfere as little as possible with the aesthetics of the premises and let in more natural light. The leaves can also be framed with aluminium around the entire perimeter to reinforce their robustness in premises with greater activity. And in any case, the profiles can be lacquered in any colour from a wide range of options to adapt the doors to the design or corporate identity of the shop.

It is also important to convey the business brand values, therefore, doors can have vinyl with the business name or logo, extending its identity to the exterior while making it easy to identify a glass door and prevent impact. Vinyl can also be placed on top frames to prevent the brand from being overshadowed by traffic.

Manusa offers accessories such as sensors, push buttons, remote controls, and locks to increase security or access control systems. Thanks to the Visio+ operator, which incorporates IoT technology and allows for the inclusion of intelligent functionalities to cover the needs of each shop, and through its 360º service, Manusa advises small shops to find the best technical and design solution. An accompaniment to create, together, the access that best projects their singularity.
