In Application

Due to their swing arc trajectory, traditional swing doors can eat up valuable room space, whether they swing inward or outward. This works against efficient room design and creates accessibility issues for patients with limited mobility or assistive devices. Commercial sliding door systems like AD Systems’ ExamSlide™ sideline these issues while providing design flexibility to elevate the look and feel of patient rooms.

Able to save up to 30 square feet of useable room per door, these sliding doors support efficient room design. They slide along heavy-duty, quiet rollers rather than obtrusive floor tracks, which can impede foot traffic, equipment or mobility assistive devices. This is a critical benefit in hospitals, as patients may have limited mobility. ExamSlide sliding door systems can also be specified with a Barrier Free design option. This option splits the door’s top frame to accommodate a bedlift, further increasing patient accessibility.

Additionally, ExamSlide can be solid wood, a specialty material like a resilient laminate or aluminum stile and rail with privacy glass. These design options can help create a comfortable and welcoming environment—making the space feel more like a hospitality space than a patient room. No matter the option, the frames and doors will be made from the durable, impact-resistant materials AD Systems is known for, so they will stand up to the wear and tear of healthcare settings.
