Automatic sliding doors can be a great choice for businesses looking to improve their accessibility and security, however, there are a number of misconceptions that prevent business owners from making a purchase.

 

Here are the most common myths about commercial sliding doors - debunked!


They aren’t energy efficient

As automatic sliding doors are controlled by sensors that open and close when an approaching person is detected, many people assume that sliding doors are not energy-efficient and let lots of heat and energy out.

 

However, this mechanism is what makes them the best option for businesses looking to save on energy bills and keep their business warm because it ensures that the doors are closed when they are not being used. This makes them a much more energy-efficient option when compared to other types of doors like manual doors as these can be accidentally left open for long periods of time.

 

They are expensive

Investing in the security of your building is essential in keeping it protected and providing you with some peace of mind. While the best things on the market tend to cost a bit more, at Thoroughbred Industrial Doors, we strive to provide the highest-quality commercial sliding doors that are built to last.

 

While sliding doors might cost more to buy outright than manual swinging doors, the average sliding door can last over a decade, so it is an investment which will save you money in the long run.


They’re not attractive

This is a common misconception that is simply not true. As arguably one of the most stylish doors on the market, sliding doors are sleek, modern and often clear, which helps to open up a room and make it appear more spacious.

 

At Thoroughbred Industrial Doors, we offer a wide variety of aluminium glazed doors produced to the highest standard so you can keep your building looking modern and stylish.
