Grade II Grantley Hall wins Specifi cation Award T


he Grade II listed luxury hotel and spa Grantley Hall in Ripon, North Yorkshire, has scooped the prestigious


Winner of Winners Award sponsored by GEZE UK at the 40th anniversary AI Specifi cation Awards.


The award was presented by GEZE UK MD Kaz Spiewakowski to architects Bowman Riley and architectural ironmongers Em-B Solutions Ltd at a glittering ceremony at London’s Leadenhall Building. Grantley Hall opened in 2019 as a high- end hotel and spa following decades of neglect. The project required an extraordinary level of care to ensure the seamless integration of new and old ironmongery. The new products were designed to perform to the latest standards and operate with an access control system, while integrating with the antique brass and stainless steel furniture already in situ.


Said Kaz Spiewakowski, MD of GEZE UK: “As longstanding sponsors of this award we recognise the importance of architects and architectural ironmongers working together to produce beautiful

Accessibility and convenience combined G


EZE’s TS 5000 ECline overhead door closer with guide rail combines accessibility and convenience in one innovative all-round closer. GEZE, a leading manufacturer of door and window control systems has called the product the TS 5000 ECline, pronounced EASYLINE, to highlight the ease of opening the closer offers. Providing barrier-free, easy to open doors


the TS 5000 ECline is suitable for right and left single action doors with a door leaf width of up to 1250 mm. It also has integrated back check, hydraulic latching action, and the closing speed can be individually adjusted.


In addition the closer offers flexibility in installation as it can be installed on the door leaf on the hinge side or on the transom on the opposite hinge side and all functions can be adjusted from the front of the closer. The L version of the closer enables it to be mounted on the push side of the door.


It is part of the GEZE family of closers that have the same styling, perfect for when different closers are needed throughout a building, and it has the same fitting footprint as other GEZE closers allowing it to be fitted in place of other closers without having to re- drill the door. With a closing force of EN 3-5 with variable adjustment the TS 5000 ECline is suitable for fire and smoke protection doors. Andy


Howland, sales & marketing


director of GEZE UK, said: “The TS 5000 ECline is one of our most flexible closers and can be installed anywhere where the convenience of passing through a door easily is required and perfect for ensuring access for all. Add in that it is suitable for smoke and fire protection doors and you have a great all-rounder!”
