Innovative windows and doors 'bring value to developers'
29/07/2010 13:52:13
Innovative designs in windows and doors can offer 'competitive value to the end-user', according to manufacturer Assa Abloy.
The group's Ceco Door subsidiary produces windows and doors for a variety of purposes, including metal storm shutters and fire-proof openings.
However, it is its acoustical options that lead to the observation about the value that end-users can derive from imaginative design by suppliers.
Product manager Steve Smith says: 'Product innovation, design options, quick-ship capabilities and cost efficiencies are all substantial benefits to building owners, contractors, distributors, and architectural and project management teams.'
The company's own Sound-Tech Xpress range is free from formaldehyde and lead, helping to support principles of green and sustainable building.
Entrances can consist of a single or double aperture, with the doors themselves weighing around 30 per cent less than most generally available doors with high sound-transmission class ratings.
They can also be equipped with the necessary hardware depending on their role within the building - including devices to allow them to be used as an emergency exit.
