How Better Weather Changes the Way We Use Our Buildings

There’s something about the first few warm days of the year that changes how people feel — and how they behave. As coats come off and the sun begins to stick around for more than an hour at a time, we start to move differently. We linger outside. We notice things we didn’t before. And we interact with buildings in new ways.

At Open Entrances, we pay close attention to how people move through spaces — especially at the entrance. With better weather here and spring in full swing, it’s a great time to think about how your entrance is performing and whether it’s helping people flow in and out as easily (and beautifully) as possible.

People Don’t Rush Anymore

In winter, people tend to hurry. They want to get inside quickly, shelter from the wind, and not waste a second in the cold. But spring slows things down. People pause, they take in their surroundings, they’re more likely to look up — and look around.

That means your entrance is suddenly back in the spotlight. If it’s outdated, hard to navigate, or just doesn’t reflect your business, it won’t go unnoticed. On the flip side, a smart, stylish, and functional entrance can instantly lift how your whole building is perceived.

Better Weather = More Movement

Warmer days tend to bring more footfall. Whether you’re running a showroom, managing an office building, or welcoming guests to a hospitality venue, there’s often a natural increase in traffic this time of year. Doors open more often. People move between indoors and out. Entrances become busier, more frequently used, and more prone to wear and tear.

This makes spring the perfect time to review the condition of your entrance system. Are the doors working as smoothly as they should? Is the automation responsive? Is the space comfortable, clean, and easy to use?

Let the Light In

Spring sunlight changes how a space feels — especially if your entrance is fully glazed. Natural light creates a more welcoming, airy environment, but only if your glazing is clear, clean, and performing as it should.

Now’s the time to make the most of it. We can help with upgrading your entrance system, improving visibility, or even rethinking how your entrance connects with your exterior space.

Simple Fix or Full Upgrade?

For some buildings, a seasonal refresh is all that’s needed — a quick check-up, a few repairs, maybe a deep clean. For others, spring is the moment to start thinking bigger. A new fully glazed door set. A smarter automated system. A seamless entrance that transforms the way your building welcomes people in.

Whatever you need, we’re here to help you open up the possibilities.

Spring is a Season for Opportunity

Better weather brings people out — and it brings them through your doors. If your entrance is due a little attention, now is the time to act. It’s about being ready for increased activity, but also about making the most of the season. Show your building in its best light.

Let’s talk about how we can help you improve the way people arrive, enter, and experience your space this spring.
