RC2 Resistant entrance doors for Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam

RC2 Resistant entrance doors for Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam

In 1999 Kisho Kurokawa Architects & Associates designed a new wing for the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The Museum's new entrance is designed by Kisho Kurokawa & Associates and was further developed by Hans van Heeswijk architecten and Octatube.

The Full Glass revolving doors, designed and built by Bauporte, are incorporated into the design, in collaboration with Octatube. The state-of-the-art glass structure complements the curved and elliptical shape of the Kurokawa wing, while connecting it to the original museum building designed by Gerrit Rietveld.

Bauporte was responsible for the technical design, engineering, production, installation and maintenance of the transparent revolving doors. These full transparent manual revolving doors C FV 2500 MX NSWM RC2 provide entrance and exit points out of the crowded museum.

The certificated sophisticated NSWM night closure system protects the museum out of hours against any unsolicitous behavior, achieving class RC2 resistance compliant to the EN 1627 standard. 2,100,000 visitors a year are entering and exiting out through the Bauporte revolving doors, the doors are working constantly 365 days a year. The stainless-steel construction, long life bearings and glass will ensure that the doors will fulfill their job for a lifetime.

Bauporte Maintenance provides a quality service which prevents call outs. The in-ground heaters prevent draught entering the building and keeps the entrance comfortably warm on cold days.
