Flo-Motion® in healthcare
Originally conceived, designed and developed in-house for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Liverpool (opened 2015), Flo-Motion® manual sliding doors use recirculating ball guides on a low-resistance linear track with damping at fully open and closed positions. The high ball count ensures continuous contact with bearing surfaces; the contained roller increases load capability and reduces operating force for safe, fingertip control. The system has been tested beyond one million cycles (test concluded at 1.36 million cycles, equivalent to 3.26 million metres).

The range includes telescopic, single and double door sets with slim-line stiles for space saving, plus extensive design options: full-width fully glazed panels, interstitial blinds, varied finishes, fixings and handles. On completion, doors are digitally force-tested and certified, with mean opening/closing forces and graph data supplied.
