Ahead of the game W
ith many buildings dating back to the 1930’s, Merchant Taylors’ School needed to upgrade nearly twenty external entrances without altering the period facades. TORMAX was contracted to replace the steel Crittall doors with specialist aluminium profile carefully designed to replicate the art deco style. Providing free flowing foot traffic, the swing doors are all fitted with technologically advanced, TORMAX 1301 iMotion automatic operators.
Being a grade two listed building, a conservation officer was first consulted to ensure important architectural details were maintained. The original steel doors at the school have been replaced with double-glazed units with highly effective aluminium profile. Following direction of the conservation officer, TORMAX took great care to accurately reproduce the astragals by adhering replacements directly onto the glazing.
Complying with current DDA regulations, TORMAX iMotion 1301 door operators represent cutting-edge technology delivering a long-term solution combined with energy efficient operation.

e all know the layout of a classroom can be difficult, particularly within younger classes, there is so much to cram into a classroom to make it as visual as possible to ensure maximum learning. The Classroom Lofts team have provided an innovative solution to tightly packed learning areas, especially within key stage 1 classrooms, by enhancing the space available. Developing five new standard concepts means that most classrooms, regardless of size or height restrictions, will have the choice of having a classroom loft installed. For example; The Den is specifically for classrooms with lower ceilings while The Warren compromises of two distinct areas upstairs and downstairs to provide ample space for various role play games and group work. Alternatively there is the option of a bespoke design ensuring you receive a loft that is perfectly fitting to your classroom or communal area.
These interesting wooden designs have already proven extremely popular with various schools around the country. All 1st floor areas are fitted with a soft floor to provide a child-friendly surface and the full structure is built using the highest quality birch plywood and redwood timber.
Seeing is believing so take a trip to Stand E98 at The Education Show, Birmingham NEC, March 15th – 17th where Educational Play will be displaying the two designs pictured above as the exclusive distributors of Classroom Lofts.
