Doors open for office to home conversion in Woking


V


icaima doors have been selected by a Surrey based contractor for new apartments in central Woking town


location, converting former office space into smart contemporary living.


The trend for re-imagining unwanted commercial and workspaces into modern homes offering flexible rental opportunities, has seen substantial growth over the past few years. One such example is the newly refurbished Conerstone development in the heart of Woking town centre, where 94 new apartments from compact studio design to 3 bed living have been created.


The adaptive reuse in such developments often present both functionality and safety considerations which must be addressed. This is one of the reasons why the extended scope and certification compliance offered by the Vicaima range, provides so much appeal to contractors and developers looking to address design and technical challenges. Surrey based specialist contractors Buxton,

chose Vicaima Easi-Fit interior doorkits for apartment entrances, internal room division and corridor areas, offering as it does a rapid installation with easily assembled door and frame. In compliance with leading regulatory standards, apartment entrance doors supplied by Vicaima, not only provided third party fire certificated assurance, but were approved to Secured by Design, for added peace of mind. To enable a flexible colour scheme to be accommodated throughout the project, all doors were supplied in Vicaima’s revolutionary Primed 2 Go finish. With their ultra-smooth polymer faces that don’t require either face sanding or priming, excellent surface decoration can be consistently achieved.


Easi-Fit door kits and Primed 2 Go finish are just two examples from an extensive selection of imaginative ideas from the Vicaima Collections, with performance and decorative solutions for a multitude of project types.

Shelforce looking to increase fire door manufacturing capacity B


irmingham window and door manufacturer Shelforce is looking to increase its capacity to cope with the demand for its Fireshel


30-minute fire resistant door. Aſter launching the Fireshel into the market in


2020, sales of the door exceeded expectations last year for local authority projects in Birmingham. From a standing start, Shelforce was


manufacturing 70 fire doors a week from its headquarters in Erdington – and projections for 2022 mean the company is set to be even busier this year. Howard Trotter, Business Manager at Shelforce,


proud winners of four awards last year including the 2021 Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC) Business of the Year, said: “With the projects we have booked in this year, plus the enquiries we are getting, we will have to increase our production capacity to cope. “With almost 35,000 fire doors to replace in


Birmingham, demand is set to remain both high and constant for local authority projects both this year and into the future.” Te Fireshel provides the perfect solution for


local authorities who need fully EN tested 3rd Party Accredited, replacement Fire Door sets, which are compliant with the latest 2020 MHCLG Annex A recommendations. Fire and smoke tested from both the inside and


outside and PAS 024 Security tested, the door set, complete with fanlight glazing panel, achieved 49 minutes fire resistance when EN1634-1 tested.


Te Fireshel offers the end user assurance


that all the components used in its manufacture have been tested and approved against the new 2020 Q Mark Fire and Security Composite door Set requirements. “Te reason we launched the Fireshel was to set


the standard for local authorities when it comes to fire doors as it ticks every single fire, smoke and security box,” added Howard. “We have always prided ourselves on providing products that allow


our citizens and communities to enjoy a safe and comfortable environment.” Shelforce specialises in providing high-quality


PVCu and aluminium products to local authority building projects such as Birmingham City Council. For more information, please contact the company.
