Hermetic door systems, meaning leak-proof doors, are generally used in environments where high air insulation is required (such as operating rooms, laboratories, x-ray rooms, cold rooms, etc.). However, the sealing needs of each environment differ, for example, there are huge differences between the sealing properties of the cold storage and the sealing properties of the x-ray room. In this context, not every door with hermetic feature may fully meet your needs.
General features of hermetic door systems used in operating rooms
The following main features are required for hermetic doors used in environments such as operating rooms and medical laboratories (except for rooms where UV rays are used and x-ray rooms).
High air and heat insulation (sealing)
The coatings used are antibacterial and prevent spore formation.
Homogeneous and not affected by water
Resistant to acid, hygienic cleaners and similar corrosive materials
Being resistant to impacts and scratches
Does not lose its properties for many years
The equipment used in access systems must be hygienic (hand proximity sensors, knee & elbow buttons, etc.)
The main covering material used in operating room doors is glass, as it is economical in the market, but glass doors do not comply with the standards due to the risk of breakage, low insulation, not being resistant to corrosive substances and open to bacterial growth. Compact laminate coated panel doors are used in high standard operating rooms. When having a hermetic door installed, be sure to ask for technical support from an expert company.
