Project Year: 2019

Product: ASSA ABLOY SL500 Transparent Sliding Door

Architect: Innovare Design
Contractor: Façade & Glazing Solutions Uk

Project Background: Having worked with Innovare Design on their shopfront redesign, the client approached us to request a bi-parting all glass automatic door with side screens and pocket screens, and for the operator to sit above the ceiling and be the closest match to the bronze finish on their sign. As a high end jewellery store, both security and a clean and sleek look, were priorities for the entrance.

Solution: FAAC Entrance Solutions installed the SL500 Transparent sliding door four panel system and finished the operator cover in a 50% gloss Light Bronze RAL Finish. The pocket screens were replaced by flush mounted EN16005 compliant safety presence detecting sensors which together with the 10.8mm glass and a dotted manifestation, contributed to an elegant yet safe entrance. They integrated mechanical bolt floor locks, and first-entry switch and last-exit push buttons for the use of staff.
