The automatic doors used in health care facilities are crucial to the accessibility and code-compliance of a building. Automatic Door Specialists, Inc. of Waipahu, HI, helps many clients find the right options for them. Below they offer some insight into what makes a quality commercial door for health care purposes.  

Qualities to Look for in Automatic Doors for Health Care Facilities

High Visibility

In the realm of health care, visibility is key, so automatic doors should be equipped with broad glass panels that offer a full view even when shut. In addition to an unobstructed view, high-quality door installation will allow for a controlled environment free of excess noise and unwanted intrusions. 

Easy Handicapped Access 

Access for patients and health care professionals should be convenient. Opt for automatic doors equipped with some form of hands-free operation. This way your facility will follow the codes laid out by the Americans with Disability Act.

Adherence to ICU & CCU Requirements

Beyond these features, it's crucial for your automatic doors to meet the needs of both intensive care and cardiac care units. This includes both the aforementioned visibility requirements, as well as optimized height and width. It also helps to invest in air infiltration packages—which will assist in maintaining a certain level of air quality—and infection control features for reducing germ exposure. 

Once the doors are in place, all you'll need is a source for occasional maintenance to ensure they run smoothly at your health care facility.
