This company, a member of the Automatic Door Suppliers Association (ADSA), specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of these bespoke systems, as well as aluminium doors and fire exit doors.
Every building or structure requires the use of doors for access. When it comes to spaces with a regular flow of people or objects, it is very common to use automatic opening devices, i.e. doors that open and close without human action, but are operated by an electronic or electrical system.
Automatic doors as such emerged centuries ago. The first one is recorded to have been made in the 1st century AD by the famous Greco-Roman engineer Heron of Alexandria. This door used steam as a source of energy.
In the 1920s, with the advent of the electric motor, the technology was perfected, which continued to advance years later, leading to the creation of sectional, sliding, hinged, up-and-over and frame doors, up to the modern ones we have today.
Automatic doors are manufactured all over the world, it is quite a large market. But among all the companies dedicated to this sector, one that undoubtedly stands out worldwide is Erreka, leader in the manufacture and installation of these systems in the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as entrance screens and shop windows.
