ICU Room Doors

Cronax ICU Room Doors are designed to provide seamless accessibility, safety, and hygiene in intensive care units where every second counts. Manufactured using high-quality stainless steel, high-pressure laminate (HPL), or powder-coated galvanized steel with smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces, these doors are resistant to microbial growth and withstand frequent sterilization cycles. With wide openings, silent operation, and options for manual or automatic mechanisms, ICU doors ensure uninterrupted patient movement, efficient staff workflow, and controlled access to critical areas.

Available in sliding, hinged, swing, or hermetic models, Cronax ICU Room Doors can be customized with vision panels, touchless automation, interlocking systems, and lead-lined protection to enhance safety and efficiency in high-dependency units, isolation wards, and emergency care environments.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Door Type / Configurations	Sliding (single, bi-parting, telescopic), swing (low-energy or full energy), folding or hybrid swing-slide depending on corridor width and clearance.
Clear Opening Dimensions	Typical clear width: 1,200 mm to 1,800 mm for single leaf; up to 2,400 mm+ for bi-parting or telescopic. Height: 2,100 mm to 2,400 mm or more. According to health facility guidelines, doors to patient rooms should not be less than 1,200 mm wide × 2,040 mm high, and recommended new construction width is 1,400 mm × 2,140 mm for bed movement.
Leaf / Panel Construction & Material	Composite core (aluminium honeycomb, high density foam, or steel/metal core) with external skins in stainless steel (e.g. SS 304 / 316), antimicrobial laminate, HPL, FRP, or coated steel. Flush surfaces and minimal joints to aid cleaning.
Frame / Jamb	Stainless steel or anodised aluminium frame, fully sealed, with continuous gasketing. Recessed track or trackless design for sliding doors to reduce threshold obstructions.
Seal & Pressure Control	Perimeter seals (neoprene, EPDM, silicone) to minimize air leakage. For isolation/pressure rooms, bottom sweeps or drop seals to maintain required positive or negative pressure. Sliding doors may use brush or rubber sweeps to seal bottom gap (essential for isolation rated doors).
Operating Mechanism / Drive	Automatic doors: motor + gearbox, belt/chain/roller drive; soft start / soft stop control. Swing doors: low-energy or full energy actuator. Manual override: push / pull, emergency release. Safety sensors (motion / presence / photocell) and obstruction detection.
Speeds & Timing	Opening speed adjustable, e.g. 150 mm/s to 300 mm/s typical. Closing speed similarly adjustable. Dwell / hold-open timing programmable per room usage. For swing doors, low torque motion with smooth acceleration / deceleration.
Duty Cycle / Durability	Heavy duty design for frequent daily operations (ICU zones see many entries/exits). Minimum life cycle rating (e.g. 100,000+ cycles) for components and drive systems.
Vision / Observation Panels	Flush glazed windows using tempered laminated glass or polycarbonate, often with integral privacy blinds or switchable (electrochromic) glass. Panels sized to allow full patient view without opening door.
Fire & Smoke Rating (Optional)	Versions with fire / smoke classification (e.g. 30 min, 60 min) with intumescent seals in leaf and frame, smoke gaskets on edges, and compliance with local fire safety codes.
Hygiene & Cleanability	Seamless, smooth, non-porous surfaces, flush edges, no exposed fasteners or recessed cavities. Resistant to hospital disinfectants, alcohols, chlorine. Surfaces should facilitate frequent cleaning with minimal microbial traps.
Integration & Controls	Control panel with ability to interface with building management system (BMS), HVAC / pressure control systems, fire alarm interlock, access control (RFID, badge reader, touchless activation). Fault diagnostics, status indicators, switchable modes (e.g. locked, auto, manual) built in.
Emergency & Backup Operation	Battery / UPS backup to allow limited door operation during power failure. Manual release or emergency egress mode enabling free door operation in emergency. Fail-safe / fail-secure options where needed.
Finish & Surface Treatments	Stainless steel (satin / brushed), hospital-grade epoxy powder coatings, antimicrobial laminates, HPL surfaces. Color options (RAL or regional) for door face or accents. Protective coatings (scratch-resistant, anti-graffiti) optional.
Accessories & Options	Kick plates or push plates, integrated LED status bands (e.g. red / green), signage, drip edges, canopy or cover for sliding doors, cleanroom airlock interlocking, remote monitoring, privacy blinds, flush drip rails, door hold-open devices linked to fire systems, push-buttons / foot sensors, interlock with adjacent doors for airlock sequences.
Standards & Compliance	Must satisfy local hospital / medical building codes, cleanroom / infection control standards, fire & life safety regulations, electrical / EMC standards for door motors/controllers, and guidelines such as FGI / health facility design codes. ICU doors may also require “isolation rated” performance and smoke/draft rating.
