Both suite with all the other products in the Stainless Steel range to provide a totally coordinated approach. Both are available in a full choice of finishes including polished/brushed gold (PVD), polished/brushed stain- less, white and black. The sales of the door knock- ers demonstrate Trojan’s ability to spot trends and react to them with value-added products that enhance fabricators’ and installers’ portfolios. The Trojan Group added two door knockers to its renowned Stainless Steel range last year and they are proving to be a popular addition. When you look at the two door knockers it’s easy to see why they’re proving so popular. They have been designed with the installer in mind because they are face fixed so there is no need to drill through the door, making installation quicker and easier.

Pyroplex Ltd approached Liniar at the 2016 FIT Show to propose working together on a project to develop a fire door assembly ca- pable of achieving a fire resistance period of 30 minutes. Prospective customers The Fas- cia Place then approached Liniar to enquire if its range included fire doors and the project began to take shape. Liniar utilised The Fascia Place’s previous knowledge, working together to develop a suc- cessful fire door. During the programme, Liniar and Pyroplex worked closely with leading component providers, in the initial concept design and participated in small scale fire testing. www.trojangroup.com Excellent value measuring The collective technical expertise from all the various parties involved in the project proved to be invalu- able to see the interaction between products when tested for fire resistance, whilst maintaining other essential characteristics, to comply with Building Regulations. Both door set assemblies achieved a significant overrun in terms of fire resistance. The test was continued to failure, exceed- ing the 30-minute requirement by more than 15 minutes – meaning the doors are well on the way to reaching the 60-minute mark. www.thefasciaplace.co.uk www.liniar.co.uk from the UK’s long-standing fa- vourite brand of tapes.
