Engineered and deployed for one of the most heavily trafficked commercial retail flagships of the iconic Barnes & Noble Bookstore chain in New York City, this complete storefront entry solution seamlessly integrates mandatory ADA-compliant public accessibility with heavy-duty institutional durability. The exterior entryway configuration features two adjacent sets of multi-lite glass double swing doors laid out in a classic 12-panel geometric grid design, allowing the storefront to merge modern structural performance with traditional brand guidelines.
The entrance structure is manufactured from premium extruded aluminum profiles coated in a highly resilient, weather-resistant dark forest green powder coat finish. To provide frictionless storefront access for all visitors, the primary leaves are integrated with automatic overhead concealed swing door operators activated by accessible push-plates. The entry system utilizes insulated double-glazed tempered safety glass panels wrapped in advanced perimeter weather stripping to minimize facility energy loss. The exterior interface is optimized with 1-inch diameter offset tubular stainless steel pull handles and heavy-gauge satin stainless steel bottom kickplates, providing unmatched protection against structural impacts and high-volume daily use on Manhattan’s commercial avenues.
