What developments in sliding doors have improved health care interior design?

To meet stringent building code and accessibility requirements, commercial sliding door manufacturers have worked with architecture firms to purposefully innovate systems to solve challenges in contemporary design.

For instance, as more businesses renovate existing spaces, AD Systems developed a strong back track system designed to accommodate and correct real world construction to support efficient installation. In addition, heavy-gauge, narrow-profile perimeter frame systems resist impact damage and protect wall openings to support long-term building viability.

Soft closing systems as well as automatic sliding door operators can simplify meeting accessibility requirements listed in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) building guidelines. These sliding door systems are also available with high-quality, commercial-grade hardware to support accessibility and access control. As a result, sliding door systems continue to be an ideal choice for a variety of projects, including those with specialty requirements such as education and health care interior designs.
