Since Axis designed, developed, manufactured and installed the innovative Flo-Motion® manual sliding and bi-parting doors at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in 2015, the doors have been installed in another 10 hospitals throughout the UK, with many more projects in the pipeline.
The Flo-Motion® design has not remained static but has been developed to include a telescoping version to increase options in retrofit environments. The option of using smart glass, instead of integral blinds, has also been added to selected products.
Flo-Motion® doors can provide large clear openings, which also offer brightness and airiness but have privacy capability when needed. Most importantly, they can be easily opened and closed by a child. Actual testing of the doors currently installed shows a required average force of just 10N – an astonishing performance for door leaves weighing up to 150kg.
Axis is the sole UK distributor for Stanley automatic doors, including its range of ICU/CCU doors. Axis also supplies and installs the Manusa range of hermetically sealed doors in the UK. Taken together with the Flo-Motion® range, this means Axis is well placed to offer truly bespoke door solutions for almost any healthcare door requirement.
