Case Studies – Making an entrance - Rolls Royce, Mayfair

Case Study by Automatic Access, a record Diamond Partner

HR Owen's new Rolls Royce Showroom recently opened in Mayfair featuring some stunning design features including a door modelled on Rolls Royce's famous Pantheon grille and video illusions to create a new virtual experience for clients, day and night.

The Brief

An innovative installation, Automatic Access, a record Diamond Partner was commissioned to design and install the show-stopping bi-parting polished stainless steel doors, frames and side screen. 

The Solution  

Working in conjunction with McLaren Glazing London Ltd, Automatic Access chose record's special Heavy Duty DUO Motor STA 22/200 door operators, built in Switzerland, to operate the door leaves, as no other electric mechanical operator can handle these unusually heavy door leaves which weigh 180kg each.

record's RIC 290 Sensors using microwave and active infrared technology were also chosen, for their ease of installation and outstanding level of safety along with record's AIS 290 Sensors to provide secondary protection to clients using the main entrance. 

Trevor Allsop, Director at Automatic Access commented, "The weight and strength of the doors are perfect for a prestigious car showroom, where security is imperative. record's STA 22/200 door operator was the ideal choice to automated these doors, as not only is it exceptionally strong, sturdy and reliable, it is also exceptionally quiet in operation, which given the size of the doors is impressive. The inclusion of record sensors too gives peace of mind that the doors will open safely at all times".
