ZEROplus Launch New Circular Vision Panel Glazing Kits

Leading door hardware supplier ZEROplus recently launched its top-selling, flush-fitting Slimport circular vision frame in a convenient kit form.

The new circular vision panel glazing kits include everything you need to install your porthole vision panels in your doors or partitions, saving the time and hassle of sourcing other individual components.

Available in a fire-rated or non-fire-rated option, the fire-rated kits include the attractive round Slimport vision frame, fire-rated safety glass, fire-rated glazing tape, intumescent aperture liner and all fixings.

Gavin Hogan, Sales Director at ZEROplus, says:

'Individually sourcing and selecting the correct vision frames, safety glass, and glazing tapes can be inconvenient and take up valuable time—and who's got time to waste? But selecting what you need from our circular vision panel kits is quick and straightforward. Simply select the size, finish, and style you need, and the stunning Slimport vision frame will be delivered to you as a complete kit ready to install.'

'Especially important when sourcing vision frames for fire doors, our new kits provide essential peace of mind that all kit components have been fire-tested together, providing a fully fire-rated vision frame installation you can trust. Sourcing individual components from different suppliers that haven't been fire tested together could present a dangerous fire risk.'

The new circular porthole glazing kits suit three different door cut-outs of 250mm, 350mm and 450mm. Featuring countersunk holes in the bevel return on one side only and 25mm screws that pass through the door cut-out and fix internally, the circular vision frames are free from visible fixings on the corridor side, creating a flush fit and a contemporary, clean-lined design.

Gavin continues: 'Whether you're fitting a single circular vision frame in a door or a few to create a unique, design-led look, Slimports offer an excellent aesthetic and safety choice for commercial buildings such as hotels, bars, restaurants and public buildings.'

Along with more convenience and improved peace of mind, the Slimport circular vision panel glazing kits help to reduce potential collisions in busy areas and create visually appealing, design-led doors.

Alunet Systems Set New Strategic Direction - Making It Easy For Their Customers!

Designed specifically for fabricators and installers, Alunet Systems is a market leading supplier of aluminium door and window materials in the United Kingdom.

Making it easy is a phrase now commonly used by many at Alunet.

Knowing a great supplier when you experience one is a key driver of their people.

This behind-the-scenes passion and energy provides Alunet customers with valued competitive advantage in their local markets.

The start of this calendar year provided a rare opportunity to reflect and assess the business and identify the key elements of how to win as they embark on the next exciting chapter of development.

Phil Rotheram, Group Commercial Director introduces why Making it Easy is so important for Alunet and their customers:

“We knew our customers were comfortable with our offer, they said so and we value their feedback and listen intently to where they suggest we can improve.
“However, we won’t stand still that’s just not acceptable. Good is not good enough. We want to be great!
“Winning as a business with our customers is something that we have invested in across most areas of our business.
“Alunet is no single person, instead we are the summation of many core skills that enable any existing or future customer to succeed.”

This investment has taken many forms. An improved accounting software platform has enabled faster and more efficient reporting.

Business processes have started to be fully mapped to identify bottlenecks and work solutions to positively impact customer service and finally, the external sales team and their focus has been revamped and expanded with investment in new roles to support and accelerate their underlying ambition.

Having invested in their people to upskill them to be the best, Alunet now seek to improve their market position by championing service and beating their competition.

Integrating their people and their talent to encourage best practice and innovating within their markets will fuel their ambition to be the leading aluminium systems house in the UK and an authority on sustainable construction.

James Tuveri, Managing Director of SGG Manufacturing, a valued fabricator of the Aluna range from Alunet Systems explains:

“Their mission is clear, Alunet make it happen for their customer.
“Doing what they say they will is simple and effective. Making it easy takes this to the next level.
The changes in their sales team have encouraged both business development and robust account management locally.
“Their Aluna product range of aluminium doors and windows hugely enhance the fabric and sustainability of any construction project.
“However, Alunet also provide high levels of customer satisfaction at every available touchpoint, from initial enquiry through order process, delivery, and support, it’s a seamless proposition that makes working with them simple and easy!”

Phil summarises

“We are a modern and forward-thinking company, yet our traditional values and customer centric philosophy remains at the heart of everything we do.
“We know it is our relationships that will set us apart. We are committed to protecting and nurturing them.
“Our strong sense of ambition drives us to advance and continually improve however, it will always be our choice, simplicity, value and service which separates us from other suppliers”.

On the Road with Hörmann

Hörmann UK have announced that they are hitting the road and holding a series of events to showcase their fitter friendly RollMatic T roller garage door, aimed at demonstrating just how easy it is to transport and install.

Hörmann will start their journey in Scotland and the North - with the first event taking place in Glasgow on 11th June, followed by Bradford on 13th June.

Live installations will take place which will allow dealers and installers to see firsthand just how quick and easy it is to install the RollMatic T roller door, with attendees having the opportunity to talk to the Hörmann experts.

Visitors to the events will also have the chance to win a trip to the RollMatic factory in Amshausen, Germany and visit the Christmas market in Bielefeld.

RollMatic T is packed full of features and benefits. Constructed from robust 77mm lath, it is available with either internal or external roller options.

To speed installation, the door is supplied in two sturdy and easily transportable boxes containing all the components needed to install and operate the door, with pre-assembled and pre-drilled components reducing preparation time onsite.

Hörmann have also recently announced that RollMatic T will be supplied with Hörmann DuraBelt technology as an option, which helps reduce the risk of marking or scratching during its operation due to grit or other foreign objects.

The door is supplied with a wired, opto-sensor in the bottom seal which comes as standard, stopping the door if there is an unexpected obstacle and it operates to DIN EN 13241.

Alternatively, a wireless version is available as an upgrade. A space saving tubular operator and two hand transmitters operating on the Hörmann BiSecur radio system are supplied as standard.

David O’Mara, Marketing Manager at Hörmann UK comments:

“We are justifiably proud of our RollMatic T roller door, and we feel that it represents the standard to which all roller doors should be compared.
“However, we are aware of the pressure in the market with competitor products being offered at unsustainably low prices.
“That’s why we wanted to get into the market and show the real benefits of the RollMatic T product, not just the fantastic levels of quality that you would expect from Hörmann but also the savings that can be made by the clever features we have included that make it fast and easy to install.
RollMatic T really is a fit and forget product that offers consumers excellent value for money and provides our dealers and installers with a real chance to optimise every sales opportunity.
“Our series of roadshows start in Scotland and the North and then we are heading south during the Autumn with events in Reading and Stratford.”

DB2/4 restoration project and ‘epic adventure’ Land Rover among entries for Hampson’s sale

Aston Martin enthusiasts have an exceptional opportunity to acquire a 1956 DB2/4 MkII restoration project, offered at No Reserve, at Hampson Auctions’ sale at the magnificent Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire on 12 May.

The car has already benefited from a recent, comprehensive engine rebuild, setting a solid foundation for the rest of the project.

Hampson’s Managing Director Zach Hamilton commented:

“For fans of early post-War David Brown Aston Martins, this is a rare and exciting chance to secure an unrestored DB2/4, with the recent engine rebuild putting the new owner one step ahead in their journey to return this highly original machine to its former glory.

“Add in the fact that the car is being offered at No Reserve, and it’s not surprising that we are receiving a great many enquiries from prospective bidders.”

The diverse entry for Hampson’s sale features a number of other interesting ‘No Reserve’ lots, including a 1976 Land Rover Lightweight Series III, a ‘timewarp’ 1996 Volkswagen Golf GTi, a fully restored 1972 Triumph Stag and a 1961 3.8-litre MkII Jaguar.

The Land Rover has a captivating history, having been acquired by the present owner while he was working in Saudi Arabia in 2001.

He bought the car for approximately £600 and then drove it to the UK through Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and France in an epic, month-long road trip in which vehicle and owner braved the elements and overcame countless mechanical and bureaucratic challenges.

This left-hand drive example has now been fully restored and just awaits a new owner to take it on another great adventure.

The Golf GTi is a highly original, one-family-ownership ‘timewarp’ car, with a warranted 42,000 miles from new, while the Triumph Stag, which has the desirable manual transmission with overdrive, has benefited from a comprehensive restoration in recent years.

The 1961 Jaguar MkII was originally a left-hand drive machine with automatic transmission, exported new to the USA.

It has now been converted to right-hand drive and equipped with manual transmission with overdrive.

Other notable entries in the 12 May auction include an outstanding 1989 Bentley Continental Convertible.

This impeccably-maintained, luxurious motor car boasts a number of desirable factory options, including Waterford crystal decanters and glasses in the driver and passenger doors (estimate: £100,000-£120,000).

The 1967 Volkswagen Type 2 Split-screen camper van on offer is presented in an eye-catching ‘ice cream colour combination’ of pale green and white.

It has been the subject of expenditure totalling more than £50,000 as part of a meticulous, ground-up restoration in the hands of a renowned VW camper specialist and was fitted with a brand-new engine just 2,000 miles ago (estimate: £20,000-£25,000).

Two charismatic and rare entries come in the form of a pair of Datsun pick-ups.

The 1974 620, which features a hardtop canopy, is, according to howmanyleft.co.uk, believed to be one of just 14 on the UK roads today.

This and the equally appealing 1972 1500 version each carry an estimate of £6,000-£8,000.

Another unusual entry is the 1970 Citroen HY van, fully fitted out as a boutique catering van, so offering a business opportunity to its new owner (estimate: £20,000-£25,000).

For further information and to consign a vehicle to the sale, please visit hampsonauctions.com.

Carbon Negative Mews highly Commended at SBD Development Awards

A carbon-negative mews development in the London Borough of Waltham Forest has been highly commended at this year’s Secured by Design (SBD) ATLAS awards.

Situated in one of London's most popular areas to live, Walthamstow Village, The Arbour is a development of 10 modern and spacious properties just a short walk from Walthamstow Central Station.

It has been built to be carbon negative over its lifetime, with zero construction waste and energy positive, generating more energy on-site than it consumes on an annual basis, thus incurring no energy bills.

Designing Out Crime Officers from the Metropolitan Police engaged with the developer throughout the build.

The unique nature of the carbon negative/zero waste design meant that some of the aspects needed very specific security-rated products or bespoke design/security enhancements that still provided a suitable level of protection.

Products from Secured by Design member companies Arbor-Fenex Windows, CAME Entrotec and The Safety Letter Box Company were all fitted to the properties within the development.

The development was able to achieve SBD certification without compromising the vision of pioneering planet-positive development, showing that developments can be safe and secure whilst reducing the impact on the environment.

Receiving the award, Metropolitan Police Designing Out Crime Officer Matthew Fletcher said:

“It has been a pleasure to work with the Architects and Developers to ensure a security-conscious scheme even with unique site-specific requirements.
“Advice was taken on board and implemented throughout the build and this is evident from the lack of crime and ASB reported in this development.”

Developers Gs8 said:

“The Arbour was an extremely ambitious development in terms of its environmental ambitions, but also challenging in terms of its position as a backland site with a history of crime.

“Matthew was proactive and helped us to find solutions that enabled us to meet the requirements of SBD, whilst being able to deliver on our carbon, waste and energy targets for the development.
“The Arbour was intended to prove that a market-leading and authentic environmentally conscious development can meet the requirements of policies and regulations and provide an enjoyable and safe place to live, which thanks to all involved, including LB Waltham Forest and SBD, we were able to achieve.”

Architects Boehm Lynas said:

“Resident’s safety and security are at the heart of any community-led design, which was integral to the overall environmental goals of this development.
“Our engagement with SBD from an early stage helped to achieve this and we are pleased the outcome was a successful one.”

Improved security

Developers around the UK can achieve SBD awards for incorporating crime prevention measures and techniques into their developments in all kinds of building sectors, such as residential, education, health, transport, commercial, retail, sport and leisure.

Indeed, SBD can be used as evidence to discharge third-party obligations under Part Q of Schedule 1 (Security) to the English Building Regulations, the Scottish Building Standard 4.13 (Security) and Welsh Building Regulations Part Q (Security – Dwellings).

These awards are gained by working with police Designing Out Crime Officers (DOCOs), who advise architects, developers and local authority planners long before construction begins – and continue to provide advice and guidance until the development is complete.

Academic and other research shows that improving standards of security in brand-new and refurbished properties helps deter and reduce crime.

Reducing crime and the fear of crime has direct links to better physical and mental well-being, such as concerning high-volume crimes like domestic abuse.

The built environment influences the behaviour of people who work, live, socialise or simply pass through.

SBD seeks to create environments where the law-abiding feel safe and secure whilst at the same time causing the criminal or anti-social to feel vulnerable to detection and thereby positively influence behaviour.

This continues to be a key objective for SBD.

Find out more about SBD Developers Awards here.

SBD Design Guides

SBD has produced a series of authoritative Design Guides to assist the building, design and construction industry to incorporate security into developments to comply with the Building Regulations in England, Scotland and Wales and meet the requirements of SBD.

These Design Guides, available to download for free at the SBD website, have been updated over the years to keep pace with changing patterns of criminal behaviour and advances in building design and new technology.

They are a valuable source of reference to architects, developers, self-builders, local authority planners and police officers and cover a range of building sectors, including residential, education, health, transport and commercial.

Police Designing Out Crime Officers

DOCOs provide specialist crime reduction advice to the public, businesses and colleagues about premises or property security.

They also work with building developers, architects, and council planning departments regarding new developments and refurbishments, to ‘design out’ crimes like burglary and anti-social behaviour (ASB) by providing advice on street lighting, building and street layout, entrances and exits - as well as preferred standards and specifications for doors, windows, and locks, under the Secured by Design initiative.

DOCOs are able to deliver site specific interventions required to help design out crime in areas that suffer disproportionately from acquisitive crime, based on local crime pattern analysis, police, local authority and community engagement and the collective knowledge and experience of how criminals behave.

DOCOs are specialist problem solvers, working every day to make a positive difference, changing lives for the better and helping people to be safe and secure in their homes.

Contact details for local DOCOs can be found here.

Thunderbolt: The 5-Point Locking System especially designed with increased tolerances for door installers

With over 150 years’ experience in producing locking systems, Winkhaus UK is a market leader producing innovative security solutions to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s rapidly changing security and ease of use requirements.

Winkhaus’ Thunderbolt multi-point locking system is specifically engineered with increased tolerances in mind, to streamline the process for door installers.

The 5-point locking mechanism features twin deadbolts in the upper and lower positions, each measuring 20mm long and 8.5mm thick, Thunderbolt provides security and peace of mind for homeowners and tenants.

Thunderbolt is operated by a lever or key turn which activates the bolts within the locking system, along with a deadbolt which is deployed by turning the key in the cylinder to add an enhanced level of security.

Thunderbolt’s heavy duty keeps are manufactured using high grade steel, plated to comply with Grade 5 corrosion resistance requirement of BS EN1670 European Standard.

The multi-point locking system is extremely easy to install and can be used with a range of doors including composite, timber, aluminium or UPVC.

Tolerance and strength

The Thunderbolt multi-point locking system features specifically designed twin nickel plated alloy deadbolts which are chamfered to allow a high degree of fitting tolerance for door installation.

Engineered alloy sprung latch and nickel plated steel deadbolt provides the Thunderbolt with maximum strength in the centre of the door, and the deadbolt shape, with up to 2mm adjustment to compensate for any misalignment of the door during and after installation.

Designed to harmonise with Winkhaus’ XR6 one star profile cylinders and armorShield two-star cylinder protection, Thunderbolt is compliant with Police ‘Secured by Design’ and passes the rigorous PAS24 security standard.

Tested to 100,000 cycles at Winkhaus’ dedicated in-house laboratory, the sprung gearbox helps prevent handle ‘droop’.

Like all our multi-point locking systems, Thunderbolt features our innovative Nano Protect coating as standard, which protects the hardware from corrosion and the ability to recover from everyday wear and tear.

‘Family of Locks’: Interchangeable solutions

Thunderbolt is part of Winkhaus’ ‘Family of Locks’ range, which makes it easier for fabricators and installers to interchange one of Winkhaus’ locks for another based on customer requirements.

Using the same routing as AV4, Thunderbolt, TruLock and autoLock AV2 can be fitted to all door materials and interchanged on-site, thereby reducing the time spent by, and cost of, property services and maintenance contractors.

Thunderbolt Heritage

The Thunderbolt Heritage is a Key Turn Activated multi-point locking system which houses the cylinder at eye-level position, perfect for modern or traditional doors with ornate or architectural long bar or traditional pull door hardware.

Featuring all the benefits of the Thunderbolt, this locking system lends itself perfectly to more contemporary designs, such as long bar pull handles, and is suitable for timber and composite doors.

Centre of Excellence

Winkhaus Meiningen is a state of the art design and manufacturing facility dedicated to our locking solutions, where our team designs, develops and produces solutions that focus on quality, durability, ease of use and also offer the ability to tailor solutions to meet your requirements.

Winkhaus mechanical locking systems have a long tradition and have always stood for high levels of functional safety, user-friendly convenience and reliable protection.

Our mechanical technologies can be used for a range of buildings from individual entrance or apartment doors to larger offices and buildings.
