Make fire doors your priority A


survey into fire safety in the social housing sector reported that 95% of respondents named fire doors as


the most important fire safety product and more than half cited broken fire doors as the main reason for properties failing fire safety assessments. With the Hackitt Review calling for greater


care in the specification of fire safety products, door closer manufacturer, Samuel Heath asserts that the type of door closer fitted to fire doors in social housing stock should be given as much consideration as the fire door itself. Te right door closer will not only meet


relevant fire and accessibility requirements, but also assure continued reliability of the fire door, tenant safety and well-being, as well as help to control whole life costs. Samuel Heath’s Powermatic, jamb-mounted,


concealed door closer delivers in all these areas, meeting the necessary performance standards and delivering a host of additional benefits thanks to its total concealment when the door is closed.

Troldtekt takes Gold


S


ince 2012, Danish acoustic wood wool manufacturer Troldtekt has been leading the way with its sustainable practices and


leadership. An early adopter of the Cradle- to-Cradle design concept, the company has focused on its material health, reutilisation, energy,


water and adoption of social responsibility


winning recognition and numerous green awards over the years. The


Futurecem™ has


now further enhanced the manufacturing process and elevated Troldtekt to Cradle- to-Cradle Gold Certification. In addition, and being both FSC®


and PEFC™ certified,


the company has set strict environmental targets for its manufacture and products culminating in a transparent roadmap in its annual CSR reports. This has led the company to be one of Europe’s most vociferous advocates for sustainable design and one which contributes positively to BREEAM,


WELL, DGNB-Certifications. LEED and Futurecem™ is a new patented cement


from Aalborg Portland. Absorbing more CO2 than it creates during production, its incorporation into Troldtekt’s wood wool panels gives


Troldtekt acoustic


panels their strength, durability and fire- protective properties without the use of harmful chemicals. This combination also means that Troldtekt’s panels have a negative carbon footprint right up until it is time for them to be disposed of or recycled – a phenomenal result.
