HIDDEN BENEFITS
Health and beauty retailer Boots UK is well known for offering beauty products to enhance the stylish good looks of its customers , so the entrance to their brand new store in Kensington High Street in London , just had to step up to the mark .
The busy store needed an entrance to complement its glass and bronze-anodised façade and GEZE UK had just the answer – the UFO NT .
The UFO NT is an underfloor operator that is completely hidden from view , so perfect when installed with glass doors .
Extremely quiet in operation and complying with the demands of the Equality Act and BS EN 8300 ensuring access for all , the UFO NT can be used on any type of doors – glass , metal or wood , and can operate doors with leaf widths up to 1250mm on external doors and 1600mm on internal doors and up to 125kg in weight .
GEZE UK worked with façade solutions specialists Colorminium to design and install double doors with two UFO NT automatic operators to the store entrance .
The Boots store is part of a mixed use building on the corner of High Street and Wrights Lane , the 1970 ’ s building was remodelled and extended , to completely transform it and includes office space , a new retail arcade and connection to the London Underground .
Said Andy Iredale , GEZE UK ’ s national sales manager for automatics and window technology : ‘ The UFO NT was the perfect solution for this busy store , the operator is concealed beneath the floor giving designers the freedom to create aesthetically pleasing entrances yet still provide automatic access ’.
Said Mihai Ciobanu , Project Manager at Colorminium ‘ We have worked with GEZE many times and we were delighted with this solution from them . This new product is mounted below the finished floor level and so gave us the clean stylish entrance we wanted ’.
