Security and convenience are required when it comes to a business and these two aspects are combined in a sliding electric gate. There are many ways that you can customise a sliding electric gate so that it suits the requirements of your business.
Think about what your security needs are first.
This will depend on the nature of your business and potential security risks. Consider the level of access control you need for the business. For example, the security measures put in place for a retail store will differ from that of a manufacturing facility because the former has to be made accessible for the customers. There are many materials available for electric and sliding gates Melbourne and this determines the level of security and durability offered. Also, the variation of material properties can provide different aesthetics. Some of the common materials used for sliding electric gates are aluminium, steel, wood, wrought iron, vinyl and composite. There are pros and cons to each material and you have to go through the material properties and the level of customisation possible by each when deciding on one. This can also be limited by the budget available for this.
The design of the sliding electric gates should reflect the identity of the business.
Some of the ways you can do this are by using specific colours of your brand along with specific design elements that are specific to the brand. You can also use your company logo in the design so that there is a level of professionalism achieved. This will be what customers and visitors to your business will see and this will help create an impression of your brand. Consider the types of access control systems that you can integrate with the gate. The supplier for the gates can also help you with this. Some of the access control systems you can use are card readers, remote control, keypad entry and smartphone access. You can also use biometric recognition. You have to consider the security requirements of the business and the number of people that will be accessing the building when choosing the right access control system.
The dimensions of the gate have to be considered as well.
To arrive at a sufficient height and length of gate, you have to consider the type of traffic expected by the business. Think about the size of vehicles that need access to the business. For example, there can be delivery vehicles and trucks visiting the premises frequently along with employee vehicles. There should also be safety features incorporated in the gate design such as safety sensors. If there are any obstacles in the way of the gate path, the closing or opening of the gate will halt automatically so as to prevent accidents. There can also be audible alarms and warning lights when the gate is in operation so that nearby pedestrians and drivers are aware of the gate movement. You can also integrate the sliding electric gates with the existing surveillance system so that the gate activity can be monitored and recorded.
