doors, windows & glazing; lighting
VELFAC composite windows, external doors and patio doors deliver the safety performance required by the new Part Q regulations, without compromising the contemporary, slim aluminium/ wood frame. The VELFAC system also meets the exacting standards of UK Police flagship initiative Secured by Design (SBD), adding further value to any residential or housebuilding project. To satisfy Part Q, the VELFAC system can resist damage inflicted by burglars using common tools such as crowbars, and also withstand more serious attempts to buckle or deform entry or glazed doors. The VELFAC system delivers high-performance benefits.
Part Q compliance with no compromise

More than 700 high quality windows and doors were supplied and installed by Global UPVC at a prestigious development on the historic Caerphilly Miners’ Hospital site. All homes have Legend casement windows and French doors from long-standing local Synseal fabricator Global UPVC, whose Managing Director Jon Dowse credits much of the company’s ongoing success in the commercial market to the Legend system. He said: “We use only Legend and have done for over ten years, so many of our clients keep coming back and inviting us to bid for more work that we can hardly keep up with the tenders. To me, that is the best possible commendation.”

A door closer for any weather
Stockport based Bamford Doors were approached by a public sector client to solve a problem they were having at a small housing develop- ment with residents of mixed age and ability. If the existing door closer was set so that all the residents could easily open the door, it was not then strong enough to close and properly latch the door in windy conditions. Using its extensive experience of the door closer market, Bamford quickly decided that the LCN 4111 Smoothee®, which is supplied by Relcross in the UK, was the ideal product for this installation. It’s also a product the company has used many times before and so it had confidence in both its performance and durability. It has been tested to over 10 million cycles and was designed specifically for institutional and other rugged high traf- fic applications. Bamford installed a complete new door set and an LCN 411. Now all the residents can open the door in all weather conditions confident that it will latch correctly behind them. For further information on LCN door closers, call Relcross or visit the company website.

Door closer meets social housing needs
Available in standard and free swing models, Powermatic controlled, concealed door closers from Samuel Heath meet all relevant fire and accessibility requirements, but it is their total concealment that delivers additional safety, reliability and low-maintenance benefits for the social housing sector. Powermatic is completely concealed when the door is closed, and not easily visible when open, assuring a more homely, less institutionalised environment for the dwelling. It also significantly reduces the opportunity for the door closer to be vandalised. Together with the fact that the door closer is maintenance-free, this attribute can result in fewer call-outs and reduced maintenance costs. Reduced risk of vandalism also provides significant safety benefits; a damaged door closer can prevent the door functioning altogether, resulting in inconvenience for residents and reducing fire safety. For more information on concealed door closers and the full range of Samuel Heath products, please contact the company directly or visit the website.
