Jewers Doors speeds response
Jewers Doors put the finishing touches to the new £15 million Ambulance and Fire Services Resource Centre (AFSRC) at Wrexham with the installation of 14 pairs of Swift fast-acting, bi-fold doors. The new AFSR Centre accommodates eight fire appliance vehicles and six ambulances. Fire and ambulance vehicles need to exit rapidly when under ‘blue light’ emergency response conditions, and the FAAC 560 drive units fitted to the Swift doors ensure they take less than seven seconds automatically fully open. In the event of power failure, each door can be instantly and effortlessly opened manually via low-level disengage handles to prevent delays. Leading edges of the doors are fitted with full height pressure sensitive edges. FAAC’s XP 20 D photocells fitted to the inside and outside create a safe area around the door to greatly reduce the risk of an impact ever occurring.

Klober’s Permo® therm is a tongue and groove insulation board with integrated reflective underlay and self-adhesive edge strips to seal laps. Suitable for new build or refurbishment, it has LABC approval but unlike square-edged boards does not provide an air leakage path. Permo therm is installed over rafters and not only provides added height within
the roof space but removes the need for separate underlay installation. Boards can be laid in either direction with no ventilation of the batten/counter-batten cavity needed other than where impervious or tight-fitting roof coverings are used. From an environmental perspective Permo therm is also CFC and HCFC-free.
