Automatic Sliding Doors

Automatic Sliding Doors

    A FAAC automatic sliding door is designed to make everyday access feel effortless. Used widely across NZ in retail, healthcare, offices, and public buildings, our systems support smooth pedestrian flow while maintaining high safety standards.

    Every automatic sliding door system is engineered for quiet operation and minimal visual impact, making it easy to integrate into modern architectural spaces. FAAC doors open and close with controlled precision, helping reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency throughout the day. Fully compliant with EN16005 safety standards, these systems actively monitor movement to protect users at every stage of operation.

    Whether you are specifying commercial automatic sliding doors for a busy entrance or upgrading existing sliding doors, FAAC solutions are built to perform reliably while enhancing the overall experience for staff and visitors.

        Energy Saving System

        Energy Saving is one of FAAC’s key innovations for improving the efficiency of automatic sliding doors. The system intelligently recognises the direction of pedestrian movement, allowing doors to open only when needed and close as soon as passage is complete. This reduces unnecessary opening cycles and limits heat loss caused by doors staying open longer than required.

        By improving how the door responds to foot traffic, Energy Saving helps reduce the workload on heating and cooling systems. This leads to lower energy use, reduced operating costs, and a measurable decrease in CO₂ emissions. To support real-world evaluation, FAAC collaborated with the University of Liège in Belgium to develop THERMOTOOL, a software platform that calculates energy savings and environmental impact using practical, data-driven metrics.

        Benefits of Energy Saving

        • NDirectional detection: Identifies walking direction to optimise opening and closing times, reducing air loss
        • NCleaner indoor environments: Limits the entry of dust, smog, and pollutants, making daily cleaning easier
        • NImproved comfort: Maintains stable indoor temperatures for staff and visitors near entrances
        • NLower environmental impact: Helps quantify and reduce CO₂ emissions in line with sustainability targets

        AIRSLIDE Integrated Air Curtain

        AIRSLIDE is FAAC’s integrated air curtain solution, designed to improve the energy performance of automatic doors without adding visual clutter. Unlike traditional air curtains, AIRSLIDE is built directly into the door frame lintel, creating a single, cohesive entrance system.

        By forming an invisible barrier at the doorway, AIRSLIDE helps maintain comfortable indoor conditions throughout the year. It limits heat loss in winter, reduces heat ingress in summer, and prevents unwanted external air from entering the building. Because the system operates without heating or cooling the airflow, it delivers energy savings without increasing power consumption. Its concealed design simplifies installation, maintenance, and architectural planning.

        Benefits of AIRSLIDE

        • NSeasonal protection: Shields entrances from cold air in winter and heat during warmer months
        • NEnergy efficiency: Helps retain conditioned indoor air, reducing HVAC demand
        • NImproved hygiene: Restricts dust, dirt, smog, and insects from entering the building
        • NDraft-free comfort: Eliminates uncomfortable air movement near doorways
        • NSimplified design: Requires only correct wall opening dimensions, with no external units
        • NEasy maintenance: Single integrated system reduces servicing complexity
        • NConcealed appearance: Fully hidden within the lintel for a clean, modern finish
        • NLow energy use: Operates without treating the air, avoiding additional power consumption

          FAAC commercial sliding doors are designed to adapt to a wide range of site requirements, from compact entrances to high-traffic public access points. Their modular design allows for flexible installation while keeping the system footprint small and discreet. This makes FAAC automatic sliding doors businesses can rely on for long-term use without compromising space or design intent. Advanced control technology ensures smooth transit, controlled speed, and consistent performance even during peak usage. Energy efficiency is built into every system, helping reduce unnecessary air exchange and support comfortable indoor conditions. As FAAC continues to expand across New Zealand, our automatic sliding door solutions bring together global engineering expertise with practical design that suits local commercial environments.
