Flexibility and freedom with DORMA’s HSW sliding wall system

Climate change and a general acceptance of what used to be called a ‘European’ lifestyle have, in recent years, resulted in most of us leading a much more ‘al fresco’ lifestyle. Shops, café’s, bars and restaurants with open or semi-open frontages are bustling places these days. To make life easier for these establishments and for showrooms and interiors too, DORMA has developed a horizontal sliding wall system known as DORMA HSW. It enables architects and designers to create entrances, internal partitions and display windows that can be easily moved out of the way to leave a lighter, brighter, barrier free area. Café’s and restaurant’s can really optimise their capacity by using the system, particularly if there is a terrace involved. Whatever the type of establishment, another advantage with DORMA HSW is that with Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act coming into force in October of this year when rolled back, the system really helps an establishment meet compliance. The unobstructed freedom offered is ideal for providing safe access and egress for people with disabilities.

DORMA is one of the world’s leading suppliers of automatic and manual door systems and the sliding wall system is a product of the highest quality, in terms of both aesthetics and performance. more…
