This new building for the
internet bank, based in Derby is
one of the few locations where
we supplied doors only. This is
due to the frames being of a
steel construction supplied by
our partner, Halspan.
The frames were made and
assembled in Italy and installed prior
to the arrival of our laminate faced
doors with overpanels. Careful liaison
with Italy allowed the doors to have the
hinges and locks pre-machined in our
factory to align perfectly with the
frames.
A number of doors in toilet areas had
over-laminated lippings making the
correct fitting of the doors to the
frames critical, as site adjustment to
the door leaves is not practical.
Doorsets were fire rated from half
hour FD30 to one hour FD60 with
intumescent strips pre grooved out of
the steel frames but supplied loose
enabling the contractor to conceal fix
the steel frames behind the
intumescent seals.
