Manusa automatic doors were installed at the entrance of the Northern Clinic, a hospital located in Auckland. These bi-parting sliding doors are framed and feature fixed leaves and bands, integrating perfectly into the architectural design of the building. The façade of the clinic features a grid style of profiles and glazing, allowing natural light from outside to illuminate the interior spaces, creating a more welcoming and energy-efficient atmosphere.

Automatic doors have become a very practical and functional option for hospital main entrances. Their installation facilitates access for all types of people, including those with reduced mobility, promoting a constant and organised flow of patients, visitors and staff. In addition, by reducing physical contact with surfaces, they help to minimise the spread of germs and viruses, which is essential in healthcare environments. As if that were not enough, these doors also improve the energy efficiency of the building by better preserving the indoor temperature, helping to reduce energy consumption. They improve comfort in the hospital, preventing the spread of germs and viruses, as well as improving energy efficiency.
