What is a traffic door?

An essential component of many commercial and industrial facilities. These doors are designed to withstand heavy traffic, reduce noise pollution, and enhance energy efficiency.

Double-Acting Rigid Traffic Doors

Double-acting rigid is the most common type of traffic doors. They are made of durable materials like aluminum or stainless steel.  Which make them perfect for high-traffic areas like restaurants, hospitals, and industrial facilities. These doors are designed to swing open in both directions, allowing easy movement of people and equipment.

One of the primary advantages is that they provide a barrier between two areas while allowing easy passage for people and equipment. This feature makes them perfect for use in hospitals, where it is essential to maintain a sterile environment. They are also used in restaurants and industrial facilities where there is a need to keep different areas separate while allowing the movement of people and equipment.

Flexible Type Doors

Flexible doors, also known as strip doors, are another type of traffic door commonly used in commercial and industrial facilities. They are made of PVC strips that hang from a track, allowing easy movement of people and equipment. These doors are designed to be flexible and can easily bend and move out of the way when someone passes through them.

Ideal for areas where there is a high volume of traffic, such as warehouses and loading docks. They are designed to reduce noise pollution, maintain temperature control, and enhance energy efficiency. The PVC strips used to make these doors are also transparent, which allows for better visibility, reducing the risk of accidents.

Choosing the Right Type Doors

When choosing a door for your facility, there are several factors to consider. These include the level of traffic, the type of equipment that will be passing through the door, and the level of noise pollution that you need to reduce.

For high-traffic areas like hospitals, restaurants, and industrial facilities, double-acting rigid type is the best choice. They provide a barrier between two areas while allowing easy movement of people and equipment. For areas with a high volume of traffic like warehouses and loading docks, flexible traffic doors are often the best choice. They are designed to reduce noise pollution, maintain temperature control, and enhance energy efficiency.

Notes:

  • Traffic doors are an essential component of many commercial and industrial facilities. Whether you choose a double-acting rigid traffic door or a flexible traffic door, the right door can help you maintain a safe and efficient environment. Consider your needs carefully before making a decision.  Remember that investing in the right traffic door can save you time and money in the long run.
  • Traffic doors are often used in retail stores, restaurants, kitchens, and similar occupancies where hands-free passage through doors is required.
  • This section includes several common types of doors, but other door types can be added.
