DOORS FIT FOR A NEW WORLD !
RESIDENTS DESERVE UNQUESTIONABLE COMFORT AND SAFETY IN THE POST PANDEMIC ERA , AS DO THE PROFESSIONALS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING IT
Many things have changed over the past eighteen or more months since our world was turned upside down . However , perhaps its also true to say that some things such as expectations and fundamental living principles have just been re-evaluated and prioritised into what ’ s important for personal well-being . For tenants and residents living in affordable homes ; whether rented or part owned , that can often be distilled into a not unreasonable must have list , which includes : fire safety and security , comfortable and durable surroundings , which demonstrate contemporary design and all of which has real environmental credentials .
As a key product in every home , interior timber doors should always exemplify these criteria , without short-cuts , compromise , or half-measures . Being a leading manufacturer and supplier to Housing Associations , Local Authorities , social landlords and affordable homes developers , Vicaima door and
doorset solutions ensure buyers and specifiers can meet not only tenant expectations , but also to satisfy their many regulatory and practical concerns at the same time .
Among the many challenges presented in the social housing market and indeed elsewhere , is a lack of skilled labour and for that matter resources in general , when it comes to the installation of doors on site . This is often compounded by the reluctance of many to move beyond the somewhat antiquated 20th century practice of face finishing doors in situ , with its inherent lack of continuity , added expense and drain on time . Fortunately , Vicaima ’ s extensive range of cost effective , designer led , fully finished products alleviate this concern . However , it does not stop there . With the supply of complete doorsets ( door and frame ), which not only speed up the installation time ; but also ensure compliance with appropriate regulations , insuring much of the uncertainty is removed .
Vicaima have always been at the forefront of regulatory and performance measures , with complete tested and certified product solutions , offering transparency and peace of mind for all . These include Q-Mark authenticated dual scope
FD30S / FD60S fire and
SBD security doorsets ; combining fire and
acoustic rated solutions with durability and testing to PAS 24 : 2016 / BS 6375- 2 + 3 ; all with a 10-year guarantee . What ’ s more , given that all Vicaima products are manufactured to ISO 14001 standards and are FSC certified , you can be sure that the need to protect our planet is as important as the need to provide doors that are fit for affordable living today .
