Designed for high footfall and public movement

Glass Entrances for Transport Buildings

Transport buildings require entrance systems that can accommodate large volumes of people while maintaining safety, reliability and clear access.

Stations, terminals and transport hubs often include large, glazed façades and entrances that must operate continuously. These systems need to perform under constant use while supporting passenger flow and maintaining visibility across public spaces.

Open Entrances works with infrastructure operators, developers and design teams to deliver bespoke glass entrance systems for transport environments. Each solution is designed to integrate with the building while supporting safe and efficient movement.

Challenges in transport environments

Transport buildings present specific demands for entrance systems and glazing design.

Each project requires a design approach that supports both operational performance and public use.

High passenger volumes

Entrances must handle continuous movement throughout the day. Systems need to operate reliably while supporting large numbers of users.

Public safety

Glazing systems are located within busy public areas. Entrances must be designed and installed to meet safety requirements while remaining accessible.

Large-scale structures

Transport hubs often feature expansive façades and high-level glazing. Entrance systems must integrate with these structures without disrupting the overall design.

Continuous operation

Many transport environments operate throughout the day and night. Entrance systems must remain reliable under constant use.

Entrance design and specification

Open Entrances develops entrance systems in collaboration with project teams, ensuring that design intent and performance requirements are aligned.

This includes:

bespoke entrance design for transport buildings
integration with large-scale façades and glazing systems
coordination with architects, contractors and infrastructure teams
detailed specification of glass, finishes and system performance

Each system is engineered to meet the demands of the building while maintaining a consistent visual outcome.

Entrance systems for transport environments

Open Entrances provides a range of glass entrance systems designed for transport applications. Each system can be adapted to suit the building's scale, layout and flow.

Revolving Doors

Revolving doors help manage entry and exit while supporting environmental control in busy transport buildings.

Swing Doors

Swing doors provide a practical solution for secondary access points and internal transitions.

Sliding Doors

Sliding systems allow wide openings and support efficient movement of passengers in high-traffic areas.

Frameless Glass Façades

Frameless façade systems create open, visible entrances that support wayfinding and maintain clear sightlines across public spaces.

Collaborative Product Design

Open Entrances works closely with project teams to develop tailored entrance systems that align with the building's layout and operational requirements.

Concealed Air Curtains

Air curtain systems can be integrated into entrances to help manage airflow and maintain internal conditions without affecting accessibility.

Architectural Glass Solutions

Bespoke structural glazing solutions can be developed for large-scale infrastructure projects, including oversized panels and custom entrance configurations.
