We’re delighted to see that the
Art of Design magazine picked up on our concealed door closers and designer finishes in their Clerkenwell Design Week edition!
Following on from our display of designer door closer options at the
Fire Safety Event last month, we received another mention in the architectural design press, in time for our exhibition at
Clerkenwell Design Week (23-25th May).
The Art of Design article discusses the need of keeping up with increased fire safety regulations whilst allowing interior designers and architects the creative freedom they crave. This is particularly challenging for specifying the correct fire-rated doorset for high-end apartment entrance doors, which have to meet BS EN 1634 by law – and often PAS24 requirements for insurance or client peace of mind.
The article then goes on to report how both a bespoke door manufacturer and an interior designer are able to offer their clients multiple options. From fire-door finishes, over-size doors, through to hidden, embedded hardware;- with their apartment entrance doors using the
Rutland ITS.11204 concealed door closer to meet both the requirements for closer devices on fire-doors (BS EN 1154) and assist the less abled with ease of opening forces (BS 8300, formerly DDA).
