Once just a functional element of building and architecture, synonymous with limits and boundaries, doors and walls have evolved to become one in the same, enabling innovative and creative design - and even serving as inspiration for entire projects.
While still a staple in the building industry, the large access door is no longer limited as simple utility, but has become an integral part of design. The increased popularity of creative architectural design in museums, hospitals, restaurants, schools, stadiums, industrial facilities, not forgetting architecturally special, personal residences, pushes the boundaries and limits. With the ability to custom finish every Hydroswing, the definition between walls and doors is now blurred, into one structure, merging indoor and outdoor together, with “touch of a button” access when needed and expanding usable square footage and making the very most of available access space, internally and externally.
Innovative and unique applications bring with them new challenges for the large door/moveable wall industry. The ability to be customized for every application must combine with such elements as ease of use, functionality, durability, accessibility, and aesthetics.
The large door industry offers a variety of choices in design. However, as the emphasis of aesthetics and ease of use increases, doors using unsightly cables and straps and cumbersome and clumsy mechanisms, eliminate many options right off the bat. An increasingly popular choice is the solid strength of single-panel hydraulic technology, which provides a strong, sleek and elegant solution to meet the needs of even the most challenging and unique application.
“Hydraulic Doors and Walls are being chosen more and more, in all sizes, across all industries, from agricultural and aviation construction to Modern Museums. The ability to effortlessly and quietly raise a door or wall system, enhances any building design, creating endless opportunity.
Today, with belts tightened, it’s more important than ever to look at each component of your project as an investment. Safety, security and long-term maintenance are important considerations when making any design or purchasing decision. It is imperative to remember your door or moveable wall not only seals your structure, but protects the valuables inside.
