Overview

Hands-free access for a busy hospital entrance

A hospital entrance needs to open by itself — for patients, wheelchairs, stretchers and visitors with full hands — while keeping the cooled lobby sealed from heat and dust. Ebtisama Hospital asked BlueCrest to replace the entrance with an automatic photocell door.

We supplied and installed a 3.6 m automatic sliding entrance: two sliding leaves driven by a Swiss RECORD operator between two fixed side panels, all glazed in Saint-Gobain 10 mm grey tempered safety glass, with photocell sensors and safety beams tuned on site.
