What we do want to tell you in the first place is that automatic doors have to be in accordance with the decorative style that you have in your environment. Come on, you can consider them as a fashion accessory to beautify your home, your factory or your business. Why not dress our environment very handsome if possible?

Tips for choosing automatic gates
We are going to start by giving you some tips for choosing automatic gates. They are the following:
Dimensions of automatic gates
The dimensions of the automatic gates are very important. If, for example, you want to place an automatic door for pedestrians, their dimensions will be smaller. But, as a general rule, what is most sought after is automatic garage doors. So for sure the dimensions are much bigger.
Now, within these automatic garage doors we can also find various measures, either for a community of neighbors or for a private garage.
The measurements of your automatic door will be decisive. Because we don’t need to tell you that the bigger, the more weight. And that is going to influence the automatisms and motors that you have to incorporate in the automatic gates. Nor do we need to tell you that if you choose a heavy door with a low-performance motor, its performance will be far below your expectations.
In our online store we have devised a very simple purchasing system. You just have to enter, choose the model that best suits your needs and put the measurements. You will also see a wide range of options. Once we receive your order, we begin to manufacture it for you, so you can be sure that it is an exclusive door.
As for the motors for automatic doors, it is a somewhat more complicated decision. So we recommend that if you have any questions about which engine to choose, call us by phone. We will assist you immediately and solve all your doubts.
Where to place the automatic gates
This is where aesthetics come into play. If you are going to place automatic gates in your single-family home, you will surely want them to have a similar design, or at least to coordinate with that of your facade. Here you may be interested, for example, in a door finished in bars, die or wrought iron. We say this because they give it a very rustic touch.
If, for example, you live in a townhouse that has a garage, one of the best options is a lacquer finish. Or a wood finish.
In the event that you have a place that serves as a storage room, you may be interested in a galvanized automatic door. We are talking about the roller shutter. This automatic door is not very aesthetic, but it perfectly fulfills its mission of storing what you want to store.
In shopping centers, both small and large, the trend is to install fast automatic glass doors. It is an added value. We also recommend it for traditional trade. These are doors that have a sensor that detects the entry and exit of customers and opens and closes without the pedestrian having to stop walking. You can also see them in countless hotels, which are replacing their classic revolving doors with these automatic gates.
The glass rapids also have the great advantage that they let all the sunlight through. Thus, great lighting sensations are created within shops and shopping centers that encourage customers to buy. The entry of sunlight also contributes to creating a great feeling of spaciousness.
Automatic gate opening
You are also interested in knowing where the automatic gates open and close. In this way you can save space in your premises, home or factory. Broadly speaking, there are all these types of automatic doors at your disposal:
- Folding, which open and close at an angle of 90 degrees
- Tilting, formed by two leaves that open and close vertically
- Sliders, which are placed on a kind of rail and open and close sliding to the side you choose
- Roll-up, which are the ones that roll up on the ceiling when you activate the remote control
- Sectional, formed by a single leaf and that open and close vertically
- Glass rapids, which usually have two glass leaves and each of them opens and closes to one side.
Automatic gates will provide comfort and safety. It doesn’t matter what finish you choose and it doesn’t matter where they open and close or where you place them. Comfort and safety are two features shared by all automatic gates. You just have to have your remote control at hand and you will know what we are talking about.
As you have seen, choosing automatic gates does not have any complications. You just have to look at the aesthetic you are after and the place where you are going to place them. If you have any questions regarding the choice of motors, contact a specialist.
