THE SUITED LIFE :

Simplifying specification for installers

A new suited door hardware range has been launched to make it easier for installers to source corresponding ironmongery in line with the latest design trends .
The new suited collection from ARRONE , a HOPPE brand , offers installers the choice of seven new finishes across selected door handles , traditional and designer knockers , letters and numerals . Coordinating pull handles are also available from HOPPE .
Traditional vs . contemporary design
All of the colours within the suited collection have been chosen to help installers provide homeowners with high-quality door hardware with versatile design applications .
In recent years there has been a revival of black and white ironmongery on doors across the UK , while dark grey hardware continues to grow in popularity . Stainless-steel effect and polished chrome are great choices for a more contemporary door design , while polished brass is a favoured
finish for homeowners that want to maintain a more traditional appearance .
Practical application
At the heart of the collection is the AR7550 lever handle which has a 10.7mm backplate depth . The standard size of the back plate means it will cover most lock applications and make replacing existing handles much simpler .
Colour matched fixings come as standard , and a version of the range is also available for PVC doors .
Technical performance
While the appearance of the hardware is important , security and long-term performance is a priority . There is a security shroud that protects the cylinder and is sufficient to prevent access and acts as a visual deterrent .
As part of its commitment to high quality products , the ARRONE AR7550 handle has been tested to 200,000 cycles and has a 10-year mechanical operation guarantee , as long as assembly and maintenance guidelines are followed . It has also achieved the highest corrosion resistance grade under BS EN 1670 making it suitable for use in exposed marine atmospheres .

THE BEST THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES

Wendland has announced that its popular PVC and aluminium rectangular lanterns are now available in a new smaller width of 500mm . The new sizes offer even more flexibility when choosing the Wendland Lantern for a project .
Commenting about the latest update to the Wendland Lantern , Wendland Brand Manager , Chloe McGrath , said : “ Our Lantern is one of our most popular systems and we already have many options available , such as a choice of PVC or aluminium , a wide range of sizes and colours , and the choice of square or rectangular shapes . We had been asked quite a few times recently for narrower lanterns to allow for use on smaller projects and so have added a 500mm width option to our range .”
Wendland Lanterns are all thermally broken and packed with many thermal features to avoid condensation build-up . From the thermal rider rail to the thermal clips , these features ensure excellent performance , which is very important in moist rooms such as kitchens where heat levels can change quickly . Many Lanterns are used as part of a kitchen extension and so these thermal features are a great selling point for installers when quoting for this type of project . Available in the most requested colours on the market - grey , black , or white as standard , or any RAL on request , the Wendland Lantern includes many fitter-friendly features such as :
• Unique pre-assembled RidgeLOCK system
• Clip-on ridge end covers
• Pre-fitted thermal clips
• Easy-fit clip-on capping
