38 PROJECT REPORT: HEALTHCARE BUILD & DESIGN


Hidden benefits for hotel interiors


Powermatic door closers from Samuel Heath deliver outstanding performance in fire resistance and accessibility, but it is their concealment that delivers a host of benefits for hotel projects, and which has made them the specifier’s choice for hotel interiors. British designed and manufactured, the door closers fit neatly between the door and frame and are totally concealed when the door is closed. They do not have the unsightly control arms and boxes that make surface-mounted devices so unsightly and, as such, ensure that nothing interferes with the appearance of the door and interior. They also help to create a more homely, less functional, ambience within the room, assuring a more comfortable and relaxed guest experience. These benefits have seen Powermatic used by the world’s leading designers on impressive hotel projects across the globe, from owner-managed boutique residences to luxury hotel, spa and leisure resorts. Recent additions to the long list of hotel projects that have benefited from Powermatic, include Brown’s Hotel and The Savoy in London; ARIA resort and casino, Las Vegas; Hilton, Manchester and the exclusive South Lodge hotel and spa in Surrey.

Alumasc Rainwater, part of Alumasc Water Management Solutions (AWMS), was specified as part of phase one of a £48m project to redevelop the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. The building includes 185 mental health bedrooms and accommodates an adult acute mental health inpatient service. Alumasc’s aluminium Guardian security downpipes were the perfect match for this contemporary building. The range is purposely designed for high security environments and benefits from a sharp aesthetic look. The downpipe profiles are fitted flush to the wall with a unique concealed bracketry and jointing that makes them vandal resistant and anti-climb. Architects NORR worked with contractors Morrison Construction to deliver the project. The style of the building meant that regular gutters and downpipes would not work. Alumasc Rainwater’s technical team were able to design and manufacture a bespoke solution to overcome this, and deliver it within the required timescale. This unique service was much welcomed by Morrison and helped avoid potential problems and delays at a later stage of the project.
