The 37-week refurbishment programme was part of Medway Council’s plans to regenerate the area and the new station is a bright, modern building with a new larger waiting area and book- ing hall. Essex-based IDF Aluminium Ltd fabricated and installed Jack Aluminium’s JD47 Non-thermal Shopfront System, JCW Curtain Walling System, TD68 Thermal Emergency Exit Door Suite and TW70 TruEnergy Window system as part of the project. Will Woods, Managing Director at IDF Aluminium explains: “We always use Jack Aluminium doors for these kinds of projects. Con- tractors and customers are pleased with the result and they usually want to use the same products for other stations in the NSIP. As well as offering great thermal efficien- cy and security benefits for big refurbs, Jack Aluminium delivers product fast, so we can keep to strict deadlines on public sector projects.” By choosing a remote access TD68 Thermal Door option with a built-in electric strike, staff at the railway station have full remote access control. The door can be locked internally and externally with a key to ensure it is secure on the outside. It can still be opened in an emergency from the inside using a standard panic door exit device. www.jackaluminium.co.uk Enjoy Conservatories All Year Round with Tansun Heaters Tansun’s quartz infrared heaters are manufactured in the UK to the highest standard and make an impressive and effective heating solution for conservatories. Warming up conserva- tories is difficult due to their large open spaces and the poor insulation properties in the glass.

This can result in the conserva- tory becoming redundant outside of the summer months. Tansun’s infrared heaters offer the perfect solution to the typical conservatory heating problems. The effi- cient and effective infrared heaters are designed to heat objects and people instantly so there is no pre-heating time resulting in maximum comfort at any time of the year. Tansun’s infrared con- servatory heaters provide instant heat to quickly get rid of any draughty areas.
