Designed for safety, access and controlled environments

Glass Entrances for Healthcare Buildings

Healthcare buildings require entrance systems that support safe, consistent access while operating within sensitive environments. Hospitals and clinical facilities often rely on glazing to create light, open spaces, but these systems must also perform reliably under continuous use.

Entrances in healthcare settings are not just about movement. They play a role in maintaining controlled environments, supporting accessibility and ensuring that patients, staff and visitors can move through the building without disruption.

Open Entrances works with healthcare providers, consultants and project teams to design and deliver glass entrance systems that meet these requirements while aligning with the wider building design.

Considerations for healthcare environments

Healthcare settings introduce a different set of priorities compared to commercial or retail buildings.

Each project requires a solution that supports both operational needs and the building's broaderfunction.

Entrances must support managed access throughout the building, ensuring that movement between areas remains clear and organised.

Hospitals operate at all hours. Entrance systems must function reliably without interruption, regardless of time or demand.

Glazing systems must be easy to maintain and suitable for environments where cleanliness is essential.

Entrances must accommodate a wide range of users, including patients, staff and visitors, while meeting accessibility requirements.

Entrance design and specification

Open Entrances works closely with design teams to develop entrance systems that respond to the specific needs of healthcare buildings.

This includes:

  • bespoke entrance design for hospitals and clinical environments
  • integration with façade systems and internal layouts
  • coordination with architects, contractors and consultants
  • detailed specification of materials, finishes and system performance

Every system is developed to align with the building's operational requirements while maintaining a clear and consistent appearance.
