The holiday season is back, which means it’s time to start updating those gift lists. Your partner is on there, and so are your kids, nieces and nephews, and friends. But what about your facilities? That’s right—even buildings have a holiday wish list, and we have a few new products that are perfect for the occasion.
The HD-Storm™ Door
As we’ve seen in the last few months, the weather is getting more and more extreme, with increasingly intense and unpredictable storm surges each year. Though we may not experience hurricanes in the Midwest, we’re certainly not immune to potentially disastrous weather events. So, where do we go from here? As they say, you gotta hope for the best and prepare for the worst. And the HD-Storm Door helps you do exactly that.
The HD-Storm Door is a sliding door system that’s rated for storms as strong as hurricanes. Its heavy-duty construction can withstand high winds and pressures up to 85 pounds per square foot (PSF)—the highest PSF rating on the market. We just installed these state-of-the-art doors at the new heliport at Indiana University. And they’re the perfect way to add a layer of protection to any facility that simply can’t close due to bad weather, like 911 call centers, a police stations, or healthcare facilities.
The 5100 Series Green Door
Energy prices are on the rise. In fact, according to CBS News, electricity is up 28.5% over the past few years. And when it comes to automatic doors, that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to environmental costs. We also need to acknowledge construction waste, shipping waste, and energy waste, because each of those takes a punishing toll on the earth. That’s why we love the new 5100 Series Green Door.
This is a sliding door system that’s all about conservation. Not only does it take less energy to operate, it includes a traffic-sensitive “smart” opening function that reduces air loss out of the building—which means your HVAC also doesn’t have to work as hard. And on top of that, this door system is produced in a way that reduces waste, including how it’s packaged and shipped. So, this is a “green” door in name and in practice, reducing your environmental footprint at every step of the way.
The C127X Underfloor Swing Door Operator
We wrote a whole article a while back all about swing doors—you can read that here. But all you need to know at the moment is that they have components called a drive arm and a header which physically open the door. But these parts are also typically out in the open, which isn’t necessarily ideal for every facility. That’s where The C127X Underfloor Swing Door Operator comes into play.
The C127X is a specialty component that allows the drive arm to be installed underneath the floor. This makes for a nice, clean aesthetic, as it can be hidden with matching floor covering to blend seamlessly into the door’s surroundings. This drive is watertight, easily installed and maintained, and even includes wind damping to slow doors down in heavy winds, which prevents damage to your building and increases safety for your visitors.
Record Impression Speedgates
The more you grow, the more it can feel like you’re herding cats. That’s because you’re dealing with large crowds of people trying to get through your doors, and in the middle of it all, you still need to restrict access. All of that comes at a cost, as you hire more and more people to help control the crowds. Wouldn’t it be nice to automate the traffic flow into and around your building? Record Impression Speedgates can help you do just that.
These speedgates optimize your traffic flow securely and efficiently. The card reader and facial recognition options make sure people get through quickly, while a bevy of sensors cut down on jumpover and tailgating attempts. And not only are they incredibly effective, they’re also aesthetically pleasing! They come in a wide range of designs, finishes, and colors to integrate into your space flawlessly.
Whether you want to weather-proof your facility, save energy and help out the earth, or upgrade the aesthetics and efficiency of your doors and access systems, ADA has the perfect products for your holiday wish list. Give us a call to see how we can help make those holiday wishes a reality!
