Aesthetics Designer doorset solutions are available in a huge range of finish options to deliver a distinctive appearance and aesthetic appeal. Performance Delivering certified performance for: • Acoustic - Sound reduction up to 46RwdB • Fire - Fire resistance up to FD120 • Radiation shielding - Radiation performance up to code 7 • Security - High security up to ‘delayed entry level 3’ Anti-bacterial A biocidally proactive additive is integral to our lacquer finishes and our Hygieniform PVC’s, providing protection against harmful bacteria such as E.coli, Salmonella and MRSA. It works by preventing the bacteria’s access to nutrients so that they starve and die. It does not employ silver technology, rendering it completely UV stable and remains effective for years because of its inherently low water solubility. • 99.9 percent kill rate over a 24 hour period • non-carcinogenic • non-mutagenic • non skin sensitising • UV stable • Independently tested and verified Pivette The sliding, folding mechanics of Pivette make it a versatile solution where functionality, access and space are important considerations. The unique two-leaf articulated door minimises door swing area whilst maximising clear opening widths. Pivette offers a solution to a wide range of design problems presented by Part M of the Approved Documents and BS8300:2001. • Uses only one third of a conventional door swing area • Maximises opening area for optimum accessibility • Straightforward to install and easy to operate
• Outward opening WC doors, substantially reducing the corridor width • Doors opening onto landings, leaving access space to comply with Part K • Lobbies with space required for wheelchair access between doorways • Sanitary accommodation doors opening outwards onto circulation space Emergency release option Finger protection Sentinel and Safehinge are innovative hand and finger protection solutions that allows specifiers and architects to achieve outstanding performance, without compromising design or architectural integrity. As an integral part of the doorset, the timber (Sentinel) or aluminium (Safehinge) profile brings the following key advantages: • Prevents the crushing and shearing of fingers (adults and children) • An integral robust solution to reduce the potential for misuse or vandalism and ensure long-term reliability • Fully complies with Approved Documents and can be incorporated into all design applications • Achieves 30 RwdB making it ideal for classroom entrance doorsets • Cannot be forcibly removed, negating the cost of ongoing replacement • Offers wide choice of design aesthetics to the specifier/designer • Modern design and smooth line profile is ideal for design-led environments • Provides creative freedom and flexibility for specifiers and designers Glazing Glazing has a major impact on fire performance and limitations are identified in the Approved Documents. Aperture shape and position, glazed area, style of bead and type of glass all influence fire performance, as well as appearance. The most commonly used aperture configurations, all available with fire certification up to 120 minutes, are shown in the vision panel section. Bespoke glazing shapes and sizes also form part of the Designer range.
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.
