With terrorist threats ever-present and increasing, the JLC Group has developed its own-design and manufactured ‘blast enhanced’ sliding door systems, which it says ‘are 30% larger than other comparable systems, for higher traffic levels’.
The company said: “The new JLC doors provide at least the same level of protection as smaller door systems. The competencetested and certified doors combine the convenience and functionality of fully automated, glazed sliding doors, with fully tested blast-proofing.”
The ‘smart, safe, and secure’ JLC blastenhanced doors are designed to be resistant to both intentional and accidental blasts, reducing the significant hazards of shattered glass and other debris that can pose a risk to life. They comply with, and have been comprehensively tested to, the ISO 16933:2007 EXV25 standard, which ‘provides a structured procedure to determine the blast resistance of glazing, and sets forth the required apparatus, procedures, specimens, requirements, and guidelines, for conducting arena blast tests’.
For operational efficiency, the sliding doors meet all other relevant safety requirements, including BS EN 16005. Automatic sensors instantly detect any obstruction to immediately stop and reverse the doors and meet DDA requirements.
