Softica revisits its interior range of automatic sliding doors

Originally, a story of intuition

This new generation of automatic interior doors has many advantages. Lighter, more fluid and more integrated than their big sisters, automatic pedestrian doors, they prove to be a real innovation in terms of accessibility, comfort and aesthetics.

For Yannick BOCQUET, president of SAS SOFTICA: “Seeing that the automatic pedestrian door was becoming the norm in businesses, I didn't see why it wouldn't also become widespread inside buildings! This is why I focused my design office on the development of a range specially designed for the interior because it meets different constraints: the need for silence, fluidity, aesthetics, hygiene. »

Innovation has always been a major lever in Softica's development, this French manufacturer of automatic doors is also the first to have equipped its doors with a smooth belt, a patented system which guarantees optimal operating silence.

The latest developments in its INNOVA and GALINO offering

Softica today presents the latest developments of its two models of automatic interior doors: INNOVA to be installed on a surface and GALINO to be installed on a pocket between partitions.

At the heart of this development, the optimization of performance in the service of comfort and aesthetics:

• GALINO'IN: the GALINO automatic pocket door is adorned with a thousand lights by integrating a light message on its leaf! Ideal for asserting your brand or for informing visitors, the GALINO'IN is made up of tempered glass engraved with a message, which is illuminated by an LED strip on the edge.
• A new motor operating with the Softica touch selector: it provides multiple information (display of faults, component status and event log, etc.) and allows you to change modes yourself. In association with the selector, a Bluetooth remote control allows you to control your door from the other end of the room!
• Occupancy management mode or SOFTI-ACCESS: with the contactless Magic Switch Chroma detector, SOFTICA offers the installation of a room occupancy management system. Equipped with red and green LEDs, the detector allows you to manage occupancy, indicate it using LEDs and lock the automatic door if it is equipped with a suction cup.

Benefits of INNOVA and GALINO doors for their users

INNOVA and GALINO automatic doors improve the quality of life in work spaces in terms of:

• Space: no clearance is necessary around the door because the leaf is either hidden in the wall (GALINO'IN, GALINO models) or it slides along the partition (INNOVA model). Particularly advantageous in rooms where space is limited, the saving is 1 m² compared to hinged doors.
• Comfort: with a sound volume of less than 45 dB, SOFTICA doors are the quietest on the market thanks to the innovative and patented use of a smooth belt and a motor without brushes or reducers.
• Hygiene: no contact with handles thanks to radars, remote controls and contactless buttons.
• Accessibility: opening by infrared detection makes it easier for elderly people or people with reduced mobility to pass through.
• Safety: the doors can be fitted with a suction cup lock. LOW ENERGY compliance with EN 16005 standard and CE standard.
• Insulation: undeniable thermal and sound insulation (confidentiality) qualities thanks to the automatic opening and closing system.

For reasons of hygiene, but also of sound and thermal insulation, aesthetics and even accessibility, SOFTICA automatic interior doors have become, for many sectors of activity, THE essential solution for all construction projects. development.
