Keep Weather Outside and Comfort Inside
Like revolving doors, vestibules are often used to help keep the weather outside and maintain more consistent
indoor temperatures. A properly designed vestibule can make the entrance area more comfortable and reduce the
amount of outside air that enters the building.
This can contribute to better interior comfort and may help reduce heating and cooling costs, especially in
buildings with frequent foot traffic, cold winters, hot summers, or windy entrance areas.

Vestibules Can Do More Than Control Weather
Vestibules are often more versatile than revolving doors because they can be designed for a variety of
business uses. In addition to helping manage weather and temperature, they can provide extra space, a waiting
area, a self-service area, or a transition zone between outside and inside.
Self-Service Areas
Some businesses build larger vestibules for self-service functions. Banks may use vestibules for ATMs,
while post offices may use them for PO boxes, mail slots, stamp machines, or package preparation areas.
Waiting Areas
Vestibules can give clients or visitors a place to wait for service or a contact person while staying
out of rain, snow, cold, wind, or heat.
Transition Space
In some buildings, vestibules can function like a mudroom where people can pause, shake off weather,
hang coats, or leave boots before entering the main business area.
Create a Buffer From Outdoor Noise
Vestibules can also function as noise buffers. If your business is in a busy city area with traffic, honking
cars, sirens, construction equipment, or other outside noise, a vestibule can help create a calmer interior
environment.

- Street-facing commercial buildings
- Downtown or high-traffic locations

- Hotels, offices, and public buildings
- Businesses near construction, roadways, or parking areas
Interior Benefits
- Helps reduce outdoor noise entering the business
- Creates a more peaceful customer experience
- Improves comfort near the front entrance
- Adds a more finished, intentional entry sequence
Manual or Automatic Vestibule Door Options
Glass-aluminum vestibules can be designed with manual or automatic doors depending on your building,
customer traffic, accessibility needs, budget, and desired appearance.
Manual Vestibule Doors
Manual doors may be a practical choice for lower-traffic entrances, smaller vestibules, or businesses
that want a simple and durable entrance configuration.
Automatic Vestibule Doors
Automatic doors may be a better fit for higher-traffic entrances, accessibility needs, medical buildings,
retail spaces, or businesses where hands-free entry is important.
