| Retrofiting An Entrance
One of the most obvious reasons for the increased use of revolving doors in the last 10 years is the cost of energy. What can be done about those buildings that were constructed when energy was still cheap, but whose heating and air conditioning bills are now exorbitant? Retrofitting entrances with revolving doors is one of the easiest, most cost effective methods of reducing high energy costs in older buildings.

The payback period for most multi-storied buildings is five years or less, depending upon the model door that is chosen.
An additional benefit of retrofitting - one that has cost appeal for small shops and restaurants - is the increase in total usable floor space. This is accomplished by eliminating drafts near the entrance. The use of a revolving door also virtually eliminates dust and water infiltration, thus increasing shelf life of stock.
All these are excellent reasons for considering
a retrofitted International revolving doorfor the entrance of your building.
