The benefits of automated sliding gates

05/04/2018

When choosing which type of gate is right for your home or property, the options can seem a little daunting. While we provide different solutions for a variety of residential requirement, here are some of the benefits of choosing a sliding gate and why it may be the right solution for you.

Having a sliding gate will allow you to enter your property without having to get out of the car (as you would if you had a manual gate). This is an obvious advantage at night or during poor weather conditions or if you have small children in the car. Electric sliding gates can also close automatically, so you don't have to think about closing and locking the gate behind you.

Sliding gates are much more secure than other types and offer the highest level of security in the way of automated gates, as swing gates can be vulnerable to ramming. It is more difficult to penetrate a sliding gate on a track.

Sliding gates can enhance the appeal of your property through classic and more modern designs. They are suitable for outside you home as well as on more commercial settings. Sliding gates can be manufactured in metal or wood depending on your taste.

Sliding gates are the appropriate choice when space is limited and a swing gate wouldn't be possible. You will also be able to use the space right next to the sliding gate because they don't take up a large area when opening and closing. Smaller properties will often benefit from a sliding style gate.

As with any electric gate, an automatic sliding gate can add value to your property. First impressions of a property will be formed straight away, and visitors are likely to be impressed by the regal feel that an electric gate can give to a property.
