In the embrace of nature: A blend of elegance & functionality

In the pleasant shelter of the forest, just below the Rožnik hill in Ljubljana, a new Hotel Čad with a café and a winter-summer garden was built. The automatic sliding doors on the public ground floor of the hotel express an elegant architectural design and provide a comprehensive experience of hospitality and functionality.

MAIN ENTRANCE WITH RECEPTION: Great first impression

The entrance is the first reception point in the hotel, which co-creates a user experience and a great first impression. The glass automatic sliding door 300 (4L / 2S) serves for the smooth passage of guests with personal luggage and allows natural light to enter the room.

RESTROOMS: Hands-free privacy

A door with a hidden drive in the ceiling ensures a touchless entry into men’s and women’s toilets. On both sides, the door opens with a sensor that detects the presence of people and triggers the opening. Adjustment of the sensor’s detection field prevents the door from opening unnecessarily when pedestrians pass by.

The entrance to the toilets is visually highlighted with a personalized choice of contrasting combination of materials and colors. The color of the profiles on the outside matches the color of the interior wall, making the door profiles almost invisible. The milky glass gently emphasizes the door and creates intimacy in the space.

FROM STAIRCASE TO BISTRO: Automatic access and fire barrier

The constant passage of guests and employees creates an extremely busy transition from the staircase to the hotel bistro. The integration of the NON-ESCAPE fire sliding door 500 F is a functional choice to ensure fire safety and touchless sliding opening / closing in a spatially limited corridor. The color harmony of steel profiles and the drive makes the door almost invisible.

The frameless glass door gently and invisibly separates the restaurant and the executive lounge. A glass wall with a matte sticker enables privacy and prevents unwanted views into the more private part of the bar.

The door is connected to the hotel’s fire safety system. In the fire operation, 500 F acts as a fire barrier with a fire resistance of 30 minutes (EI30) and prevents the spread of fire. Evacuation is possible through an automatic sliding door 300 on the opposite side of the café or through 300 T along the main entrance.

BISTRO WITH GARDEN: Comprehensive overview

Effective guest service requires constant interaction between the café and the terrace. The glass automatic sliding door 300 maintains constant visual contact, provides an overview of events and increases the flow of natural light.

In the winter garden, which has the function of a (sun) terrace in summer, the telescopic automatic sliding door 300 T perfectly adapts to the architectural design of the building. It is a flexible and efficient solution for the widest possible opening width.
