Electric gates for your Glasgow property - the right choice?

If you are looking to purchase and have electric gates installed at your Glasgow property, you are in good company! There are many people who are now looking to invest in these gates, following the lead of many celebrities of small and large screen, as well as various politicians.

Some gates, you may have noticed, open along the usual lines of swinging open and closed but not all of us are blessed with tons of outside space. If space is limited, don't write off electric gates for your Glasgow property just yet... sliding gates could be the answer!

Limited driveway space - taking up far less space than swinging gates, sliding gates can be fitted at properties where driveway is limited. They not only use less space as they operate they also maintain a decent amount of parking area on your drive as you need to leave far less clearance for these gates to open and close.

Shaped driveways - can also struggle to accommodate gates that swing open and shut. The wing of this style of gate would possibly obstruct the driveway, hence sliding electric gates for your Glasgow driveway would be the best option.

Sloping driveways - again, swinging gates would not work in this scenario as the slope of an upward driveway would prevent them working; likewise, having them open on to the pavement side may present you with some difficulties. Sliding electric gates would open and close effortlessly.

Security - if security is top of your agenda, you may be best opting for sliding gates. Security experts suggest that the swing gates have more of a tendency to be successfully rammed, whereas sliding gates form more of an effective barrier. For extra securing, we also offer steel framed electric gates.

An eye on design - many people find that sliding electric gates at their Glasgow properties give them a better design layout, as they fit in well with the fence line.

Safe too - all electric gate installations need to take into account safety as people and animals have been known to be trapped as they close. Consider these options carefully so that you know your family are truly safe. Sliding gates can have a range of safety devices fitted so that accidents are avoided.

Budget - in some cases, depending on installation, design and materials use, sliding electric gates can be cheaper than swinging gates.

There are many options when it comes to electric gates at Glasgow properties; all look smart, all work well and are reliable, offering a sense of security as well as enhancing any property. They are becoming increasingly popular too so why not take a closer look?
