SAFETY WITH STYLE


Lunax, recently acquired by Vetrotech Saint- Gobain, is delighting architects throughout the UK.


With the addition of Lunax, Vetrotech Saint-Gobain has enhanced its range of systems in line with the growing architectural trend of combining building transparency, design and high safety standards.


Traditionally, form has followed function when it comes to fire protection - but Lunax has changed that. Incorporating versatile Contraflam safety glass and just four discreet clamps, its aesthetic appeal combines on- trend transparency with heightened fire safety.


The development of Lunax has been driven by achieving not just fire protection, but beautiful aesthetics that maximise natural light, whilst integrating its four framing solutions. Doors can be customised with a large choice of handles, screen printing, coloured glass and many additional door accessories.


Architects have the option to specify single, double or asymmetrical double doors - ideal for both new-build and existing spaces. And as a building’s design affects the wellbeing of its occupants, architects are increasingly seeking to source products that address this.


Crucially, Lunax doors are fire resistant on both sides and meet E, EW and EI classifications for both 30 minutes and 60 minutes.


STYLE THAT MAKES SENSE Rob Wood, Vetrotech UK General Manager, was keen to highlight the reasons for Lunax’s growing popularity among architects and building owners. He said: “We’ve actually seen clients specify Lunax from a purely design point-of-view, as it’s a stunning product in its own right. But once you factor in the fire-resistant properties, thanks to our unrivalled Contraflam glass, it becomes an obvious choice. When architects realise they can integrate high-performance fire doors without compromising their design aesthetic, the interest in Lunax makes perfect sense.”


UNITING FUNCTIONALITY AND DESIGN Lunax fire doors can not only meet functional but also

design expectations, which allows for more creative flexibility. The doors provide fire resistance of 30 or 60 minutes and can fill new as well as existing openings in many possible make-ups, for instance as single, double or asymmetrical double doors with fixed fire glass.


Furthermore, these fully-glazed doors can achieve maximum transparency with a very contemporary and minimalistic look.


New office buildings use glass in abundance and fully-glazed fire doors complement this trend perfectly. In existing buildings, the easy-to-install fire doors can modernise the interior, and flood the rooms with natural light.


Lunax doors are a true asset to architects looking to create a light interior, without having to compromise on design or functionality.


EMPHASISING COMFORT Employers, building owners and architects are becoming increasingly aware of just how closely an employees’ productivity is linked to their wellbeing in their place of work. This has resulted in leading companies investing in research to better understand how to optimise comfort in the daily workplace. Sufficient daylight, good air quality, low noise emissions and an attractive office design all play an important role in this.


Added comfort starts even before entering the premises. An airy designed entrance area is welcoming and communicates an open, transparent and approachable company image, which all has a positive influence on employees and visitors.


Within the building, Lunax allows natural light and breathing space to pass into the hallways and rooms.
