interiors Door closers maintain Kipling’s spirit
Samuel Heath’s Powermatic controlled, concealed door closers have been used by the Rocco Forte group to retain the high-end aesthetics of rooms and suites at Brown’s Hotel, one of London’s most elegant boutique residences. A total of 75 rooms have been fitted with the door closers. Amongst them is an impressive new suite named in honour of Rudyard Kipling, who is believed to have written The Jungle Book whilst staying there. Retaining the aesthetics and ambience of the new suite, and other rooms throughout Brown’s Hotel, is vital to assuring the comfort and enjoyment of guests. David Rozmetov, the hotel’s chief engineer, states, “We did not want to use surface-mounted door closers because they would spoil the appearance of our exquisite interiors. We also needed something that would be easy to install, reliable and require minimal maintenance. “Powermatic was selected as the best option after considering a number of alternatives.” Powermatic concealed door closers have long been admired by designers and managers of hotels for the fact that they are invisible when the door is closed. In addition to impressive fire and accessibility credentials and maintenance-free service, enhanced aesthetics play a large part in the door closers’ appeal.

www.concealeddoorclosers.com EQuality Showering from Horne
Horne Engineering’s commercial shower range includes pre-plumbed shower panels specialised for healthcare, elderly, extra and dementia care as well as for disability access and Changing Places facilities. A high performance, healthcare rated, thermostatic shower valve is included and robust fittings are specifically designed for improved contrast/visibility and for easy operation of the riser mechanism and lever controls – even for users with limited hand mobility. For some users, the riser rail can double as a supportive grab-bar. A bimodal option, available with lever or ligature resistant controls, adds versatility; catering for users with varying assistance or supervision needs. A wall-mounted riser rail can also be specified to mount adjacent to the shower panel. A pipe cover, as shown in the image, is available as an accessory to hide the water supply pipes between the shower panel and the ceiling. This not only looks more aesthetically pleasing, but also removes the potential burn or lig- ature risk presented by exposed supply pipework. Horne pre-plumbed surface mounted shower panels are quick and easy to install and straight-forward to maintain, ensuring a cost-effective, extended lifetime solution. For more information, visit the website or contact Horne Engineering directly.
