A statement in modern design Robert Hornewas approached by Sign Metals & Plastics Ltd (SMP Ltd), Birmingham with an interesting project in mind. A church in Castle Vale, Birmingham required a new steeple. The process was truncated with talks between architects, local church authorities, SMP Ltd and Robert Horne. Robert Horne materials are increas- ingly being specified for innovative projects, because they give expert advice on materials, hold large stock levels and a speedy turnaround is ensured. The unique church steeple is a statement in modern design and is set to become a landmark in the area. It is made from Lexan Margard Polycarbonate, in a colour-specific green tint, giving it a fresh vibrant look. The Lexan sheeting is


exceedingly hard wearing and the finish means minimal cleaning is required when compared to alternative products.

Openings protected using bespoke Cavitray service The use of curtain walling demands a different approach to rain arrestment. Where the window and door surrounds project forward off the fin- ished front face rather than being set-back, extended provision must be made to prevent the projection through the curtain walling from acting as a bridge via which wet might track inwardly. The use of preformed moulded protective DPC trays provides the answer. Positioned behind the curtain walling and moulded to encapsulate each


opening horizontally and vertically the trays arrest any water entering panel breaks and direct it to drain into adjacent baffles between panels. These in turn permit all water to gravitate in the usual way and discharge at the intended lower levels. Cavity Trays of Yeovil operates a bespoke service undertaking schemes of all sizes and has extended its manufacturing capacity.

It’s not just a door – it’s a piece of art Some undervalue doors as design fea- tures, but Longden has taken a different view with Moderne, their new and excit- ing contemporary design influenced door collection. Moderne’s designer, Laura Davies, looked at the door as an artwork that could stand alone as a striking focal point. The result is a stunning collection comprising both bold and subtle contem- porary designs with an understated art-


deco twist that brings exciting alternatives to every customer. And the choice does not stop there. The collection is anything but one of fixed designs: architects, interior designers and specifiers can choose from an array of dramatic materials and finishes, including lavish beading and carved details as well as a new range of exotic, environmentally friendly, multi-laminar wood veneers from Alpi.


enq. 203 Range extended to include pivot window


Trade fabricator FastframeUk has announced the addition of the Deceuninck pivot window to its range. Paul Moody, Fastframe’s commercial director, says of the addition, “We aim to be a one stop shop for our customers, so adding the pivot window to our range makes perfect sense.” Adding the pivot window to its range is undoubtedly a wise move from Fastframe. Since Deceuninck launched the window last year it has proved extremely popular, especially in the commercial sector. Its popularity must be due to its quality, versatility and innovation. It can be cleaned and maintained from inside a building, offering greater safety and improved cost-effectiveness, especially in high rise buildings. The pivot window looks set to be a valuable addition to Fastframe’s range. Already well-known for the quality and range of the other Deceuninck products it fabricates, it seems that the company’s reputation can only be enhanced by the availability of the pivot window.

Perfectly calibrated sensor for door systems An automatic door must open instantly whenever it is required and as a result, the requirements for door sensors are both demanding and versatile. Thanks to decades of experience as a manufac- turer of global solutions, Record (UK) is aware of these demanding require- ments and has successfully established itself in the market with the recently introduced System 20 door controls and intelligent sensors from the 290 model


range. The innovative RIC 290 sensor used a combination of technologies based on radar microwaves and active infrared, and proactively communicates with the door control device. It is fitted with a microwave module, which acts as an intel- ligent motion detector and a signal encoder to open the door.
