In healthcare environments, every detail of building design and functionality plays a vital role in supporting patients, staff, and visitors. Doors are no exception. In fact, the right door system can directly contribute to improved accessibility, safety, and overall efficiency. 

Our Sirocco self-closing sliding door hardware has been designed with these demands in mind, offering a range of benefits that make it especially well-suited to hospitals, care homes, and other healthcare 

 

 

Self-Closing Mechanism

Sirocco features an integrated hydraulic self-closing mechanism which ensures the door closes automatically after use. This prevents doors being left ajar, enhancing privacy.

 

Reliable Performance Without Electricity

Unlike similar sliding door system, Sirocco operates using a pneumatic mechanism. This means it doesn't reply on electricity and continues to function seamlessly during a power outage. In critical healthcare settings where continuity and safety are paramount, this provides peace of mind and uninterrupted operation.

 

Easy Accessibility

Accessibility is crucial in applications such as hospitals and care facilities, where patients, staff and equipment are constantly moving between rooms. As an optional accessory, Sirocco can be purchased with a delayed closer timer to adjust the time before this self-close engages-holding the door open and allowing easy access. This makes it especially valuable in settings where wheelchairs, hospitals beds, or medical equipment need to move safely and efficiently. The system has also been designed without the need for a floor channel, creating a clear walkway between rooms for enhanced accessibility.

 

Customisable Closing Speeds

Sirocco offers adjustable closing speeds to meet the needs of the space-whether this means slowing the door down to accommodate for vulnerable patients with mobility aids or speeding up in areas where efficiency is a priority. Through controlled closing, Sirocco prevents slamming by bringing the doors to a gentle close.

 

Conclusion

In conclusion, Sirocco stands out as an ideal solution in environments where safety, accessibility, and ease of use are paramount. The system is available in both left-hand and right-hand configurations, with the optional addition of a delayed closing timer for further adjustability.
