Efficiency and comfort with the automatic main door of the Binghatti Azure building in Dubai

In the heart of Dubai (United Arab Emirates), the Binghatti Azure residential building reflects an elegant fusion of contemporary architecture and quality of life. Binghatti is a prestigious developer of luxury real estate in the city, with a clear commitment to innovation and avant-garde constructions. Manusa, through Al Adel, the official distributor in the country, has installed the main door of this first-class apartment building.
Located in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, Dubai is characterised by an arid climate and very high summer temperatures. In this context, the main entrance of the Binghatti Azure faces challenges such as extreme heat and episodes of suspended dust due to its proximity to the desert. Therefore, the main door must protect the interior of the building from these conditions and, at the same time, it has to be integrated into its avant-garde design, ensuring safety and accessibility for the neighbours.
The solution chosen by Manusa effectively meets all these requirements. It is a standard automatic sliding door with central opening and transparent leaves. The model adapts naturally to a façade that combines glass with a tiled cladding in light and luminous tones. The transparency of the leaves reinforces the visual continuity between the interior and exterior of the building, while allowing natural light to enter, favouring lighting savings during daylight hours. In addition, a vinyl with the name of the building has been added to the glass, providing brand identity and, at the same time, facilitating the identification of a transparent door to avoid possible collisions.
From a functional point of view, the model is part of the range of automatic sliding doors, whose high opening and closing speed reduces the time of exposure to the outside to a minimum. This feature is particularly relevant in climates such as Dubai's, as optimising the opening time minimises air conditioning losses and therefore helps to save energy. The speed of the system also helps to reduce the ingress of dust and airborne particles, especially on windy days or during sandstorms. It is thus a solution that promotes energy efficiency and the cleanliness of the building.
Together with the ramp that complements the staircase to the entrance, the contact-free operation of the door facilitates accessibility for everyone, avoiding unnecessary effort and eliminating physical barriers. This is a key feature in a residential building, where neighbours with reduced mobility, elderly people or families with baby prams can coexist. This accessibility is also compatible with the security of the community of neighbours, which can be reinforced with optional equipment to adapt the functionality of the doors to the needs of each space.
The installation at Binghatti Azure demonstrates how a technological solution can respond to multiple functional challenges without sacrificing architectural elegance. The Manusa automatic door adopts the same values that define this exclusive residential project: innovation, sophistication and comfort at the service of everyday life.
