Steel windows create connected space
Two large sets of steel windows and doors have created a feeling of space in a kitchen extension to a late 19th
-century Victorian
terrace house in a Conservation Area close to Tufnell Park in North London. The screens, from Steel Window Association
member, Steel Window Service and Supplies, also allowed the new work to blend with the existing interior design and the many original features of the house while ensuring a high level of security. Steel Window Services and Supplies created full working drawings before being commissioned to manufacture the near identical screens.

Upgrading the manual access system to the iconic Sussex Heights building in the centre of Brighton, TORMAX was contracted to install two sets of automatic sliding glass doors, creating a contemporary entrance befitting this prestigious residential tower. Powered by the incredibly reliable TORMAX iMotion 2202 operator, the doors silently slide open in tandem, allowing residents and their guests smooth access into the lobby, whilst minimising heat loss from the building. In keeping with the upmarket environment of Sussex Heights, the old manual swing doors were replaced with an automatic entrance system more befitting a luxury apartment block. TORMAX recommended their iMotion 2202 operators to power the doors as they are housed in a slim casing, making them particularly unobtrusive and suitable for a sophisticated, minimalist entrance. Vibration absorbent mountings of the guide rails ensures elegantly quiet operation. Understandably security is an impor- tant consideration for residents and the new TORMAX automatic doors feature an electro-mechanical locking mechanism to ensure a high level of burglary protection. They are also certified for rescue and escape routes.

Harrogate hospital turns to Crittall Fendor
Cygnet Hospital Harrogate is a long-established mental health hospital. A recent decision to replace and upgrade the windows led to the specification of specialist units by Crittall Fendor, experts in high security fenestration. The CleanVent has been developed as a response to the specific needs of clinicians working in secure mental health hospitals. It is designed to maintain security while being
cleaned and also provides no projection to which a ligature can be fixed, a particular consideration where patients being cared for may have a predilection to self-harm.
