Space-Saving Barn Door Design Now Available with Optional Sidelite for Added Visibility
To give architects greater flexibility in the design and application of barn doors, Horton is now offering its versatile multi-use manual barn door system – the FlexBarn™ – with an optional Sidelite to enhance the aesthetics of any corridor and to provide a brighter environment to aid in patient recovery. Horton’s FlexBarn is a surface-applied manual sliding door that opens and closes with a soft touch, making it an ideal portal for pedestrians of varied abilities.
The attractive, space-saving design makes it a popular access solution for medical offices, patient restrooms, office buildings and restricted spaces where a conventional swing door may block the flow of traffic. The sidelite option brings in more natural light, offering a more open and inviting feel to any space, along with improved visibility.
FlexBarn is available in a self-closing configuration for added convenience and features ADA -compliant hardware and a soft-close/soft-open dampening system for smooth, seamless operation. FlexBarn is now available with automatic acoustic drop seals, a feature that drops a bar seal when closed for improved acoustical performance. The system is tested to over 175,000 cycles to ensure system longevity.
FlexBarn’s trackless design eliminates the need for a bottom threshold for unobstructed access, improved sanitation and a cleaner look. The ADA -compliant hardware and wide, clear openings improve accessibility for all.
Constructed of structural solid core lumber, plastic laminate or antimicrobial aluminum and glass, FlexBarn is available with a variety of glazing options and finishes to complement any office décor. An assortment of optional hardware, including antimicrobial alternatives (such as a ladder pull or positive latch), is available to the specifier.
The easy-to-install-and-customize surface-applied barn door is available in widths from 6' 9" to 9' 5" for single slides, and 9' 4" to 15' 4" for bi-parting doors.
