Enfi eld Speciality Doors completes world-class project for Atlas Copco HQ
A run-down offi ce and warehouse building completely transformed into a modern, BREEAM-rated headquarters for global tech company Atlas Copco has been fi tted with more than 120 internal fi re doors from Enfi eld Speciality Doors. The company supplied 126 fi re doors in total, delivered over 3-4 phases. This included custom-made timber fl ush door specifi cations in full and standard heights – the tallest were 2,638 mm high – with FD30 or FD60 ratings. Most of the doors were supplied with an ash veneer fi nish with concealed lipping to blend in with the ‘biophilia’ inspired interior design – creating a connection with nature through the use of natural materials, texture and tones. Sustainability was an integral part of the Cat A and Cat B BREEAM accredited project, which included the installation of solar panels, electric vehicle charging stations, and a central staircase created from cross-laminated timber – a material with very low amounts of sequestered carbon. To help achieve the BREEAM accreditation, Enfi eld Speciality Doors provided full FSC certifi cation for its doors.

Doors_DPR.indd 1 Protecting an impressive research facility
This impressive 4,000 sqm property with striking modern architecture is one of the core laboratories funded by the UK government to research infrastructure and cities. The unique, purpose built facility creates life size environments such as railway stations or town squares, and can manipulate conditions such as light, sound, weather, temperature, smells and more. As a testing research laboratory, security measures were needed to prevent unauthorised access and theft. Being independently certifi ed by the Loss Prevention Certifi cation Board to LPS 1175 SR2, Xonar 942 shutters from CGT Security were specifi ed for the building. The product features CGT Security’s innovative Self-Locking Technology that enables Xonar shutters to be completely secured without any auxiliary locking mechanisms, so even if it is left partially open, it cannot be forced upwards. The shutter was fi nished in black to complement the building’s fantastic architectural cladding and stunning appearance. Unlike most security shutters that need to be fi tted internally to protect the fi ttings, the Xonar Bolt- On range is certifi ed for external installation, broadening the range of applications it can be used for.

Shutters_DPR.indd 1 Gilberts raises the bar with fi re rated ventilation solutions
Gilberts has risen to the challenge of ensuring the balance of ventilation and safety with the development of its fi re rated connection box (plenum). The Fire Rated Connection Box (available in both top and side entry versions) achieves 60 minutes’ fi re and thermal rating to EN1366-3-2021. It means that fi re integrity of ventilation between internal compartments has never been easier to achieve. The new plenum maintains performance integrity when tested at temperatures up to 1,000ºC. It ensures that the fi re barrier through a masonry or plasterboard wall or ceiling or concrete fl oor will be retained, maintaining compartmentation. Gilberts believes it is the only plenum of its kind in the UK tested to deliver such high performance. It gives assurance that the two relevant layers of fi re safety – compartmentation and structural safety – are addressed. The Fire Rated Connection Box builds on Gilberts’ reputation as an innovator committed to giving clients products that exceed expectation. All Gilberts’ products, standard lines and bespoke solutions, are designed and developed in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001:2015 quality standard.
