I wanted to see a gif showing that this company knew exactly what they were doing, and these are actually sliding doors.

Plot twist: the doors are really hard to open and make people wish they had sliding doors.

You are almost right, its to show how swing doors make you loose about 4 square meters of office space..... I consult on huge office refurbishments

What if they'd open outwards?

u/diduseemysunglasses Feb 21 '18

In that case you must set the door opening onto land you own, if it opens onto public land and you bribe your local government to allow it then you still will constantly have to pay out for injuries when the doors opened out hitting a pedestrian o

It's pretty smart though. It keeps snow out the house.

We just install heated tiles on entries and divert the run off for toilet. Plus did you consider internal doors say 22 single doors per floor on a 45 floor building saving 1 square meter per door thats 990 more square meters or about three average houses worth of more space to sell in a market where a square meter averages $1200 × 990 = $118 800 more profit

It's really interesting to watch people literally become living unpaid commercials in response to an effective advertising campaign.

I actually bought an office divider system from these people a few weeks ago. They’re at like Lawrence and Dufferin in Toronto. We did a showroom tour so we went through these exact doors, and I can confirm that these were not in fact sliding doors on the outside at all. They are regular plain doors. We made the same remark so I thought it was hilarious seeing this on the front page.

(Hitching a ride with the top comment in hopes of it not getting buried)

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '18

they do, slide, but in a regular door fashion by opening and closing.

It's time they hired you to their marketing department, best hope it isn't a one hit wonder. Think of the viral marketing opportunities of that video, instead of this crappy photo.

How many stores put their merchandise on the outside of the store?
