P C HENDERSON’ S HUSKY 120 PRO SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM SPECIFIED BY DRENCH SHOWERS FOR LUXURY HOTEL RENOVATION
Drench Showers, a UK manufacturer of bespoke aluminium door frames, has recently specified P C Henderson’ s Husky 120 Pro for a luxury hotel renovation in London.
1 Hotel Mayfair began renovations in 2023 to bring a sustainable, luxury hotel close to London’ s iconic Green Park. The project brief demanded sophistication and luxury throughout their 181 guest bedrooms. This included the inclusion of bi-parting sliding doors in the Skyline bedroom suites to separate the bedroom and bathroom to maximise floor space, allow for flexible privacy options and create an open-plan layout.
Steve Middleton, Operations Director at Drench Showers, commented,“ For this project, we required a sliding door system that could withstand our heavy, aluminium-framed doors whilst still offering smooth and effortless operation.”
Catering for wooden and metal doors weighing up to 120kg each, Husky 120 Pro was identified as the best system for the project. Designed with an anodised aluminium track and nylon rollers, Husky 120 Pro offers a quiet system which allows the doors to effortlessly glide along the track with minimal friction.
To fit with the minimalistic and modern aesthetic of the rest of the hotel, the brief also required slimline framed aluminium doors with integrated glass to enhance the flow of natural light in the suite. Drench Showers manufactured bespoke black aluminium framed partition doors with fluted glass for the project and did not hesitate to contact P C Henderson for a suitable sliding door hardware solution.
To further enhance the operation of the sliding system, the system was fitted with dual soft close to gently bring the door into the open and closed position to prevent unwanted slamming. For a minimalistic look, the sliding door track was fitted flush with the ceiling to give the appearance of floor-to-ceiling doors.
