A revolving door contains three or four individual panels attached to a central shaft that rotates within a circular enclosure. When choosing doors for your commercial building, this option offers some distinct benefits that supplement the upscale aesthetic. Here's a closer look at this style's advantages.

Why Your Building Should Have a Revolving Door

1. More Space

Both swinging and sliding doors require ample space on the inside of a building to ensure they have enough room to open and close. Revolving options don't demand as much square footage, which gives you more interior business space to utilize. Whether it's used for more shelving or displays for a retail business, more tables for a restaurant, or a larger lobby to keep customers and guests comfortable, the added room will only enhance your commercial space and give you more opportunity to increase profits.

2. Low Maintenance

Revolving doors typically have a long, dependable life with few maintenance needs. An annual inspection from a door professional is essential to confirm that all components are in good condition and reliable working order. 

You'll also likely have to replace the weatherstripping every year or two to make sure the interior of your business stays safe and dry. Outside of that, very little upkeep is required.

3. Energy Savings

Revolving options are eight times more energy efficient than swinging or sliding doors. The cylindrical enclosure, weatherstripping, and sturdy glass panels work together to minimize airflow and heat transfer between the building's interior and exterior. Not only does this help keep the inside of your business more temperate and comfortable, but it can also reduce HVAC usage, which, in turn, can lower your heating and cooling costs.

4. Noise Reduction

A revolving door has strong seals that keep noise to a minimum. If your business is located on a busy street, you won't need to worry about the clamor of vehicles and foot traffic disrupting operations. Soundproof glass may also be available, which will only further increase any noise-reducing capabilities.
