Optima - Glass Partitioning Systems

Glass Entrance Doors and Glazed Screens

• The location of glass entrance doors should be easily distinguished, especially when they are within a glazed screen and when the door is both open and shut
• Manifestation should be clearly contrasting with the background in all weather / lighting conditions
• Manifestation should be located between 850mm – 1000mm and 1400mm – 1600mm i.e. in 150mm high bands which could be a solid band, a decorative feature or split bands of 50mm each
• High contrast strips at the top and on both sides of a glazed door in a glazed screen should be provided
• If glass doors can remain in the open position, the leading edge should be clearly distinguished and protected by guarding (entrance doors only) to prevent it becoming a collision hazard

Please refer to door set section of the Optima Designer's Guide for information regarding minimum clear openings in relation to Part M.

Manifestation must contrast visually with the background seen through the glass in both natural and artificial light conditions.
