| 30 automatic doors at the Castano Primo shopping centre  At the Castano Primo shopping centre, the 30 automatic doors that open to let you through and then close behind you are all supplied by Ditec. They reveal a world made for shopping, and more besides... At the via Adua junction off the SP34 on the outskirts of Castano Primo, you can find a corner of Lombardy like many others: a fertile plain once dedicated to agriculture that is now liberally sprinkled with industrial premises and retail businesses. The Castano Primo shopping centre stands out from the other buildings, however, since it is an imposing modern architectural complex whose two floors house a large hypermarket ("Il Gigante") and forty-odd shops of various kinds. Car parking is ample, as is to be expected in a large out-of-town shopping centre where people flock, by car of course, for their big weekly shop. So people come here just for that? On the contrary.It is in this pleasant atmosphere – which is not necessarily targeted at consumption although it certainly encourages it – that the shopping arcade retailers are investing. Their windows draw the attention of a considerable throng of visitors and therefore potential customers, as these centres have always been notable for the large numbers of people they attract. There are noticeably more franchise shops here than elsewhere; these new temples of modernity are perhaps the natural environment for the most organised and contemporary types of retail practice to fly their flag. For a complex conceived on these terms, it is only logical that automatic doors are an essential feature. And Castano Primo has only the best, in the form of Ditec's VALOR sliding doors, whose cutting-edge technology is ideally suited to such continual, very heavy use, with its security features – anti-crush, obstacle detection and sliding speed control devices – and a remote monitoring system to control multiple accesses. VALOR automations are silent, stable and robust, as well as beautifully designed: indeed, their aesthetic qualities make them the solution of choice for a wide range of environments with high pedestrian traffic, from shops to health centres and administrative offices to sports centres. At the Castano Primo shopping centre, Ditec not only supplied the sliding doors but also installed them, thanks to the support of technicians from Ditec Team, the one-stop shop that has what it takes to meet all the automated entrance needs for major customers throughout Italy. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
