Plasform®.

The use of radiused vertical edges to door leaves, frame edges and the postforming of facings around them, is an integral part of the Plasform® concept. This gives a distinctive appearance as well as easy to clean, damage resistant and ergonomically friendly surfaces. Wide choice of facings are available including decorative laminates, impact resistant PVC (Hygieniform) and a back-printed clear facing.

Doors are fully encapsulated and maintenance free with 6mm radii postformed edges for PVC and 12mm radii for laminate. The range includes vision panel options using beaded and flush glazing systems. Frames are also wrapped in PVC or can be supplied with a paint or polish finish. Steel frames are also available.
All Plasform® products can be supplied as fully finished doorsets with door leaf, frame and essential architectural ironmongery forming a single, integrated, factory made assembly designed to suit specific performance requirements.

Not only does this meet current industry demands for prefabrication but also ensures that designed, certified performance – particularly fire resistance – is actually achieved onsite. Radiation, severe duty, impact resistance and anti-bacterial properties. Plasform® allows designers to meet the requirements for a wide variety of applications.

Ironmongery options.



01. A complete package
Combining performance critical and non-performance critical operating architectural ironmongery, creates visual compatibility, enhanced aesthetics and offers the highest levels of standards compliance. Performance levels are guaranteed and the installation process simplified and speeded up by maximising the benefits of factory preparation and in some cases factory fitting of components. Leaderflush Shapland has put together a range of architectural ironmongery to provide a complete integrated doorset package with each product chosen to meet all technical requirements.

02. Integrated performance critical
By incorporating all of the performance critical architectural ironmongery as a fully engineered unit, the performance of the doorset can be guaranteed. As part of the manufacturing process, mortising of
Leaderflush Shapland architectural ironmongery is included at no additional cost.
This factory preparation and, in the case of non-projecting hardware, fitting of the ironmongery produces the quality of finish which simply cannot be achieved on-site.

03. Doors and ironmongery package
Leaderflush Shapland appreciates the diversity of our clients’ requirements and will provide a compliant bid to your specific enquiry or specification. This gives you the flexibility to choose your own doors and ironmongery package to suit your particular project needs. Please note that we will not make any compatibility checks within this offer.

04. Add your own
Where a specific aesthetic concept for a building is required we can mortise for all architectural ironmongery hardware against free issue samples (provided that all recessed ironmongery has rounded corners) should an alternative range be selected.

The integrated doorset option.



The Plasform doorset can also be supplied as an integrated performance doorset. The integrated performance doorset solution has been created so that all the components - door leaf, frame and architectural ironmongery - work together as a unified product, meeting certified performance levels.

Certification
Our fire resisting products are manufactured under the iintensive BWF CERTIFIRE independent third party and BM TRADA Q Mark certification schemes. All other performance criteria are fully certified to recognised performance standards across the range.

We ensure all the items of architectural ironmongery installed adhere to our certification requirements. This avoids the inadvertent use of non-standard components, which could undermine and diminish fire, acoustic or radiation performance of the completed doorset solution.

Compatibility
We use architectural ironmongery with rounded corners to avoid stress cracking or door facings.

Compliance
Our doorsets are fully compliant with relevant Approved Documents (England & Wales), The Technical Handbooks (Scotland), Technical Booklets (Northern Ireland) and Department of Health recommendations.

Improved quality
Attention to detail is an important aspect of a complete, integrated performance doorset. The factory preparation and, in the case of non-projecting hardware, fitting the architectural ironmongery produces the quality of finish which simply cannot be achieved on site.

Enhanced aesthetics
We prepare our doorsets for architectural ironmongery in our factory and supply items that make up the doorset, to ensure a greatly enhanced appearance.

Superior efficiency

The use of factory prepared and installed architectural ironmongery ensures the door and its hardware are working at their most efficient. It is proven that the majority of maintenance are caused by incorrectly or inaccurately installed ironmongery.

Single source supplier
The resources and experience of Leaderflush Shapland ensures trouble free scheduling and delivery of our integrated solutions from a single source.

Time saving
Reduced work on-site improves the co-ordination and reduces snagging issues and remedial work.

Superior durability
Superior durability and life cycles are ensured, while site preparation is eliminated as much as possible, increasing the accuracy of fitting, particularly of critical architectural ironmongery items such as hinges, lock cases and concealed door closers. This reduces stress placed on the door, frame and operating hardware.

Cost savings
Saving in site management costs, which are usually required to oversee the co-ordination of 'multi-supplier' provision, are achieved.

Guarantee
The integrated performance doorset is subject to a 10 year guarantee on doorsets assuming normal wear and tear. Conditions and usage must be in accordance with our recommendations and subject to our terms and conditions.
