Powder Coating vs Anodising: What Is the Difference?
Powder coating and anodising protect and colour aluminium in different ways, each with its own look, durability and maintenance profile.

Aluminium Door & Window Systems
An automatic sliding door system that detects approaching people and opens and closes by itself.
The aluminium automatic sliding door (photocell) is a sliding door system that opens and closes automatically when proximity sensors detect a user. The door leaves are made of aluminium profiles and safety glass; they move quietly and in a controlled way by means of the motor, control unit and sliding mechanism located in the upper section.
Depending on the project, it can be applied as a single-leaf or double-leaf door. The opening distance, hold-open time and operating mode can be adjusted through the automation system. In current automatic sliding door systems, safety sensors detect people or obstacles in the closing area, contributing to safe use. EN 16005 is one of the main standards on the safety in use of automatic pedestrian doors.
Where is it used?
It is preferred at shop and supermarket entrances, in hotels, hospitals, offices and business centres, at apartment and residential complex entrances, in restaurants, showrooms, and commercial areas with heavy pedestrian traffic.
Why choose it?
- Provides contactless, easy passage.
- Increases ease of use in areas with heavy traffic in and out.
- Can be applied as single or double leaf.
- Opening and closing times can be adjusted as needed.
- Can be integrated with card readers, keypad entry, push buttons and similar access systems.
- Different operating modes such as automatic, permanently open, exit only or partial opening can be supported; these options vary depending on the automation system used.
- Thanks to the aluminium profile and large glass surface, it provides a modern and transparent entrance appearance.
Points to consider
A suitable motor and mechanism should be selected taking into account the door leaf weight, passage width, usage intensity and wind effect. It is important that the sensors not only open the door but also reliably detect users in the closing area. For large or heavy leaves, motor capacity and the supporting system should be determined specifically for the project. The leaf weights supported by automatic sliding door mechanisms can vary considerably by model.
