GLASS & SEALEDUNITS
Glass recycling team ‘ crushing it ’
» INDUSTRY-LEADING integral blinds manufacturer Morley Glass and Wakefieldbased B & P Windows have teamed up to reduce their carbon footprints further by supplying all post-consumer glass products to Morley Glass to be put through their on-site glass crusher .
Since 2019 , Morley Glass has been accepting post-consumer glass and IGU products for their glass crusher which sits at their Leeds site . To date , the company has reduced their CO2 emissions by a staggering 135,504kg . That crushed glass then goes back into the market via recycling and will go on to be used in numerous applications for decades to come .
B & P Windows , based in Wakefield for 40 years , have made huge efforts to ensure that all post-consumer and office-based waste is recycled and that nothing goes into the ground . All their old PVCU , timber and aluminium frames are recycled and have been for a long time . The company also uses a dedicate skip service provided by Wakefield council that ensures anything that is put into the skip is taken away and processed correctly to make sure that none of it ends up at landfill sites .
This new partnership with Morley Glass is set to expand that effort further , with both companies dedicated to reducing their carbon footprint and impact on the environment as much as possible .
Ian Short , Managing Director at Morley Glass commented : “ We know B & P Windows have been making huge efforts to be as green as possible for years . We have worked together for around two decades and have a great working relationship , so to be able to help them to continue their efforts to be as environmentally friendly as possible only strengthens our bond further .”
Justin Grafton-Holt , Director at B & P Windows said : “ We have worked with Morley Glass for years and have admired not only their product and professionalism , but their activities outside of the glazing sector and their dedication to reducing their impact on the environment as much as possible . This falls perfectly in line with our longer-term vision and it ’ s great to be able to team up and keep as much post-consumer waste out of the ground as possible .”

FIRESAFETY & SECURITY
SMOOTH SAILING FOR ADVENTURE PROJECT
» SET ON THE EDGE OF AN inland surfing lagoon , the new Hilton Garden Inn Hotel , Snowdonia expects to welcome thousands of guests every year . Guest safety and security is of paramount importance to ensure a high-quality experience so the hotel sought door furniture that would meet fire protection and accessibility standards .
MKM Building Supplies worked with Pendle Doors to supply the internal doors . No ironmongery schedule had been agreed , so Pendle Doors turned to HOPPE ( UK ).
Ian Hartley , director at Pendle Doors , said :
“ We had a door schedule , but not one for ironmongery so I contacted HOPPE ( UK ) as I knew I could trust them to draw up a schedule . Ensuring we are supplying compliant door hardware is critical , especially for fire doors , so it ’ s always good to have an expert on board .”
As a Registered Architectural Ironmonger , Donna Davison , business development manager for HOPPE ( UK ), knew exactly what was needed for the hotel . Pendle Doors introduced Donna to HB Architects and HH Smith to obtain the specification and establish which products were needed .
“ Even though it is only a small part of the build , architectural ironmongery plays a huge role in the final design ,” explains Donna . “ First and foremost , all hardware must meet accessibility and fire safety requirements but we must balance the practicality of the hardware with achieving the clients vision for the overall look and feel of the building .”
Pendle Doors manufactured all internal veneered , paint-grade and laminate faced doorsets for the project ; NFR , FD30 , FD60 and
FD90 including high acoustic rated bedroom entrance doors . For aesthetic reasons , the hardware needed to match the access control hardware that had already been chosen for the bedroom doors . HOPPE ( UK ) supplied the remaining fire door hardware for the bedroom entrance doors including AR8182 hinges , AR1500 door closers , both in stainless steel , and intumescent seals .
For the other doors throughout the building , HOPPE ( UK )’ s grade 316 stainless steel Marseille door handle set on a circular rose was used to coordinate with the bedroom door handles .
In May 2021 , the hotel opened its doors to guests .
