Why install an automatic revolving door in buildings with high foot traffic?

Manusa automatic revolving doors are a common solution in buildings with high foot traffic. Hotels, hospitals, airports, museums... these are just some of the spaces where this type of access offers the greatest advantages.

Their main feature is that they can manage a continuous flow of people while maintaining a permanent separation between the inside and the outside of the building. As a result, they help improve comfort, energy efficiency and the functionality of entrances in spaces with high foot traffic.

Its most common applications include: 

• Hotels and resorts. 

• Hospitals and healthcare centres. 

• Airports and transport stations. 

• Museums and cultural buildings.  

• Corporate offices and business headquarters.

• Institutional and administrative buildings. 

But why are automatic revolving doors particularly suitable for this type of building?

1. They facilitate the continuous flow of people

Airports, hospitals, hotels and corporate buildings need entrances capable of absorbing large flows of people throughout the day.

Automatic revolving doors allow for smooth and orderly circulation, avoiding constant interruptions to the entry and exit of users. There's no need to push, pull or wait: people pass through naturally and continuously.

2. They improve accessibility and the access experience

These types of doors make it easier for people with reduced mobility to pass through, and they also cater to everyday situations such as people entering and exiting with luggage, bags, service trolleys or pushchairs.

At the same time, their silent operation helps create more pleasant environments, a key factor in hotels, museums or institutional buildings.

3. They enhance the security of the building and its users

The incorporation of presence sensors, security systems and panic mechanisms guarantees safe use adapted to the needs of each building.

This is why they're a common solution in environments where the safety of users and the proper functioning of facilities are particularly important.

4. They improve energy efficiency

Unlike other access systems that create full openings, revolving doors reduce the exchange of air between the two spaces. This helps maintain the indoor temperature and reduces the demand on heating and air conditioning systems. 

As a result, they help improve user comfort and the building's energy efficiency.

5.  They are integrated into high-level architectural projects

In addition to their functional features, automatic revolving doors are often part of projects where the architectural image also plays an important role. 

Their design allows them to be integrated into iconic buildings such as hotels, museums, corporate headquarters or institutional spaces, adapting to the aesthetic and functional requirements of each project thanks to the different configuration and customisation options available. 

In short, choosing the right access can make a difference in the day-to-day operation of a building.
