Efficiency and safety thanks to P5A glass with an air chamber in automatic burglar-proof doors

The design of automatic accesses in commercial, corporate or even residential buildings must meet a set of increasingly demanding requirements. One of the most important aspects that both architects and builders take into account in their projects is safety. In this regard, P5A glass for the automatic burglar-proof door (which has been tested according to resistance class RC2 in accordance with standard UNE-EN 1627:2021) is the ideal option for achieving entrances free of visual barriers, such as metal shutters, and ensuring good insulation, comfort and durability.

It is not just a question of offering a flexible and functional opening system, but also of ensuring resistance to intrusion attempts, especially in vulnerable areas such as glazed entrances. Additionally, access, especially if it is external, must contribute to thermal and acoustic insulation to be energy-efficient.

At the same time, it is essential to ensure durability and resistance to external agents, while integrating aesthetically into the architectural space. In this context, the choice of glazing plays a decisive role in ensuring the effectiveness of the burglar-proof door as a whole.

P5A glass: the perfect solution

P5A glass with an air chamber for burglar-proof doors is the solution that guarantees the security of the space and addresses all these challenges. This system has a robust structure which, in the event of breakage, disintegrates into small fragments that keep the glass together, minimising the risk of injury. 

Thanks to its air chamber, it achieves high acoustic and thermal insulation capacity. This material helps maintain the interior temperature throughout the year, reducing the use of heating or air conditioning, which contributes to high energy efficiency. Its innovative design is not only a matter of aesthetics but also substantial energy and cost savings. In addition, it creates a quieter and less noisy environment, even in areas with high pedestrian traffic.

Another key feature of P5A glass is that it is highly resistant to inclement weather and external factors, ensuring its durability. 

Finally, the transparent finish of this glass allows you to make the most of natural light, creating bright and spacious environments. In this regard, it is worth noting that its advanced technology blocks UV radiation, so interior elements such as furniture, floors and fabrics will be protected from wear and discolouration caused by the sun. Furthermore, it should be remembered that the elements integrated into the security doors do not compromise aesthetics, but rather their modular design allows them to be adapted and customised according to the needs of the project. One of the projects where Manusa has installed security doors with P5A glass is Faro Airport (Portugal), where accessibility for the large number of passengers, as well as their comfort and safety, are key. 

Thanks to all these characteristics, Manusa's P5A glass is perfect for ensuring advanced security without the need for additional locks, offering extra protection without compromising on efficiency or aesthetics.
