"Making an Entrance"
Axis Entrance Systems will be exhibiting their multi-award-winning Flo-Motion door system, at this year’s Healthcare Estates Exhibition, at Manchester Central on 8th & 9th October – Stand G54.
The two-day exhibition presents a superb opportunity to see the innovative, low-friction, manual sliding door system close-up and in-action.
The system was first conceived, designed and developed in-house, for the new state-of-the-art, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, which opened in 2015.
The system was a huge success, winning 4 industry awards and many accolades from key stakeholders, including:
David Houghton, Project Manager for Children’s Health Park Project, Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust said: “The extra-large, easy opening, glazed sliding doors have transformed the way single rooms work to deliver healthcare, with a choice of privacy or social interaction when required, without the loss of clinical observation.”
Flo-Motion doors feature cassettes with re-circulating ball guides, sliding on a special low resistance linear track with damper mechanisms at the fully opened and closed positions.
The high number of balls ensure continuous contact with bearing surfaces, as well as the contained roller, which increases the slide load rate capability and decreases the movement force.
Healthcare environments:
Conceived and designed with versatility and flexibility in mind, the Flo-Motion range contains over forty different designs from a single door sliding over a wall, to an 8400mm glazed screen, incorporating two, single telescopic, sliding door sets.
BIM models, specifications and CAD drawings are available by request and on our website.
Our revolutionary online Flo-Motion Clear Opening Calculator allows you to select the best option to meet your requirements.
