Hermetic Door

With expert knowledge developed over the past five decades, Spence Doors can help specify and build solutions for your hospital or aged care facility.

Hermetic doors maintain strict hygiene control in critical areas such as operating theatres and ICUs. When closed, they provide an airtight seal, effectively preventing the entry or escape of air. By maintaining a sterile environment and creating a barrier against contaminants, they minimise the transmission of viruses and pathogenic bacteria. Hermetic doors also maintain pressure differentials between the operating theatre and surrounding areas.

Hermetic doors are available in various configurations, including sliding, swing or lead-lined options. The choice of door type depends on the specific requirements of the healthcare facility and the room's function. For instance, sliding doors are often preferred in operating theatres as they allow for easy passage of patients on stretchers, maintaining the hermetic seal.

Generally, hermetic doors are constructed with durability and ease at the front of the mind using stainless steel, high-pressure laminate (HPL) and glass.

Many hermetic doors are equipped with advanced features to improve their functionality and safety, including automatic operation for hands-free access, vision panels with flush-mounted cameras for easy monitoring, lead lining for use in radiological rooms, acoustic insulation, and anti-fall and anti-tip safety systems.
