What is the difference between an automatic sliding door and an automatic revolving door for a Dubai lobby?

A sliding door opens and closes in a straight line, while a revolving door turns continuously on a central axis. Sliding doors suit most shops, clinics and offices. Revolving doors suit busy, air conditioned tower lobbies where you want to limit cold air escaping into the Dubai heat.

Revolving doors need more floor space and a proper emergency route beside them, usually a swing or sliding leaf. Dubai Civil Defence requirements for fire exits may apply, so confirm with the building consultant. Compare automatic revolving doors with sliding options during a site visit, and we will advise on your entrance.
