Convenience

For a pleasant shopping experience: Inviting entrance doors for shops

With well-designed, barrier-free entrance doors, shops, shopping centres and supermarkets offer their customers a pleasant shopping experience right from the start. Entrance solutions that are not only barrier-free but also efficient and secure are particularly in demand when there are large numbers of customers. Modern, automatic door systems enable convenient access and ensure a smooth flow of customers.

Safe, efficient and stylish: revolving doors for shopping centres

A perfect combination of functionality and aesthetics: elegant revolving doors reduce heat loss and ensure ease of access even with a large number of visitors. They also offer a high standard of security and are therefore the ideal choice for inviting shopping centre entrance areas.

Contactless ease of use: automatic doors ensure clear paths

Modern automatic doors not only make shops more attractive, but also contribute to security and cleanliness thanks to their contactless operation. They open and close independently and thus ensure a smooth customer flow. At the same time, they save energy as they only activate when motion is detected.

Intelligent sliding door solutions – also suitable as a lobby

For more energy efficiency and less cleaning effort: If two sliding doors are installed one behind the other in the entrance area of shops, an interlocking door system is created that keeps dirt or cold air outside. Another advantage: modern sliding door systems are very robust and low-maintenance.

Safety

For a comfortable and carefree shopping experience: Accessibility and fire protection

Retailers who design their premises and services to be barrier-free open up considerable additional customer potential. There are also legal obligations to be met: In Germany, retailers must gradually make their premises and services barrier-free in accordance with the Disability Equality Act (BGG) and DIN 18040-1. There are also fire protection requirements. The specific requirements can vary from country to country – it is therefore always advisable to check the local regulations carefully for international projects. Our experts for accessibility and fire protection will provide you with expert advice on all norms, laws and safety standards for your commercial property.

As the doors open fully automatically, this contributes to the pleasant experience of visitors to the shopping centre.

Barrier-free access for all

Accessibility is not only mandatory in retail, but also a worthwhile investment. Barrier-free doors allow people with disabilities or limited mobility as well as people with pushchairs equal access to shops and shopping facilities. But accessibility also plays an important role in the use of cleaning robots.

Fire protection in retail: safe and accessible solutions

In retail outlets, shopping centres and supermarkets, preventive fire protection plays just as important a role as accessibility. Automatic doors offer an ideal solution here to fulfil both accessibility and fire protection requirements.

The automatic doors not only open and close, they also make a key contribution to escape route safety

Safe escape routes in shopping centres, supermarkets and shops

Clear escape routes are crucial in the retail sector so that customers and employees can be evacuated quickly and safely in the event of an emergency. Our experts support you in precisely implementing the legal provisions relating to escape routes and emergency exits.

Sustainability

More efficiency and sustainability in retail

The EU Energy Efficiency Directive targets oblige building operators to continuously improve the energy efficiency of their properties. Modern technical building systems and intelligent automation offer great potential for reducing energy costs and increasing customer comfort. Benefit from lower operating costs, greater sustainability and a more attractive shopping environment for your customers.

The Kö-Bogen II with Europe's largest green façade and the Dreischeibenhaus are impressive landmarks in Düsseldorf's city centre.

Intelligent ventilation for a pleasant shopping ambience

Stuffy air in shops and shopping centres? Intelligent ventilation systems improve indoor air quality and ensure a pleasant shopping experience. You can also optimise the working environment for your employees and save energy costs with intelligent night-time cooling. Benefit from greater customer satisfaction, productivity and energy efficiency.

Holistic approach to energy efficiency

Intelligent systems react to customer movements and environmental conditions, which reduces energy consumption. Whether door, window or safety technology – you can achieve significant savings with a holistic and well thought-out approach that focuses on energy efficiency.

MORE ABOUT ENERGY EFFICIENCY
The Kö-Bogen II is a modern mixed-use building that combines office space, restaurants, and shopping. With its unusual geometry and Europe's largest green façade, it is the best example of a liveable building – and the future of construction. Equipped with GEZE sliding door systems on all exterior doors, the building was also awarded the DGNB certificate in platinum.

Increased efficiency through building automation

The retail sector faces the major challenge of harmonising energy efficiency and sustainability with convenience and safety. Door and window systems that are networked via the building management system and coordinated with other systems such as heating and lighting enable the efficient use of energy and save on personnel and operating costs.
