Delivering a contemporary, sustainable entrance at AmicusHorizon, the head offices for one of the largest housing associations in the South-East of England, TORMAX UK has installed a bespoke 360° glass, curved-sliding automatic door system as part of a significant refurbishment programme.

Staff and visitors are welcomed on approach by an outer set of glass doors which slide smoothly apart to give access to a small lobby, from which the second set of doors automatically open into a stunning new reception area. This configuration encourages the smooth flow of pedestrian traffic whilst efficiently minimising heat-loss from the building.

Working closely with commercial fit-out specialist Cube Interiors Solutions and glass and aluminium specialists Openwood Group, the TORMAX entrance is set within a full-height glass façade to create a visually impressive frontage and a light and vibrant interior.

Contributing to the sustainability of the development, the TORMAX entrance is manufactured from 95% recyclable materials whilst the curved-sliding doors are powered by the efficient TORMAX 2201 low-energy operator.
