Gilgen transparent automatic door gets the Royal approval

A specialist fully glazed automatic door from Gilgen Door Systems was recently chosen to create the right impression for Royal Standard Place, a prestigious office block in central Nottingham. Work has completed on a £2m refurbishment of the building which included new curtain walling and construction of a new entrance façade.

The Gilgen SLX- PSF sliding door was chosen by leading building envelope contractors HKL Specialists because its clean and contemporary appearance matched perfectly with the glazed façade of the renovated building. The full-glass design of the door, without visible door leaf profiles, helps create a visually appealing, clear view entrance with improved access.

Gilgen Door Systems installed the door within a steel ‘goalpost’ frame within a structural opening of 4.1m. The two sliding door leafs have a clear opening width of 1.8m to guarantee ease of access and are positioned in direct line with the structural glass installed above the door ensuring a seamless appearance.

The SLX drive system is concealed within an aluminium trim to optimise the clean lines of the entrance and comes with integral safety including auto-stop/ reverse and emergency operating mode. The doors are activated through an access control panel on the outside with remote release and by sensors on the inside which trigger the doors automatically as pedestrians leave the building.

Although of slender design the doors are strong, incorporating toughened safety glass with polished edges, whilst extra security is provided by through a solenoid lock within door operator itself along with manual locking on the bottom rail.

Ryan Damms of HKL comments “We are aware of the quality of the Gilgen product from previous projects, however, we are really pleased that the specification of this door and advice we received enabled us to fully deliver the clients design brief”.

With its clear-view full glass finish that blends harmoniously with contemporary interiors the Gilgen SLX-PSF helps create an inspirational environment ideal for offices, receptions, hospitality suites and multi-retail outlets. It is just one of a comprehensive range of powered door solutions available from Gilgen Door Systems. Call 0800 316 6994 or visit www.gilgendoorsystems.co.uk for further information.
