Doors, Windows & Fittings Getting a handle on great design Nottingham-based ASH Door Furniture and Entrance Specialists have created exciting new ranges of door handle finishes, each customisable with a range of diameters, fixing centres and projection heights available. As well as a broad range of materials there’s an exciting range of finishes, such as Bronze powder coated, which provides the longevity of a polyester powder coat finish but with the attractive metallic finish achieved through traditional anodised metal. Anodised finishes provide many benefits. There are no heavy materials used in the anodising process and they can be cleaned periodically with water and mild detergent to restore the product’s original lustre. Using an artificially aged process ASH can achieve a vintage finish, successfully used with original fittings and fixtures in historic and period buildings to match a similar finish.

SCHUECO JANSEN RENOVATION WINDOW IS THE PREFERRED SOLUTION Janisol Arte 2.0, the second-generation renovation window from steel systems specialist Schueco Jansen, is proving popular with architects because of its enhanced specification, improved performance characteristics and ability to satisfy the aesthetic concerns of local authority planners and conservation officers. Now being seen as the preferred solution for many refurbishment projects, especially those involving a listed building, elegantly ‘retro’ Janisol Arte 2.0 offers an enlarged range of profiles with slim sight-lines from 25 mm. A wider choice of glazing bead shapes – right-angled, bevelled, scotia and flat – makes it even easier to find an exact match for the steel windows being replaced. Furthermore, since laser-welded profiles can now be added to standard Arte profiles, mullion spans can be significantly increased, so enabling the Janisol Arte 2.0 window to accommodate much larger areas of fenestration. Available in all the opening types commonly encountered in both pre- and post-war industrial buildings, maximum vent weights have increased to 150 kg thanks to the introduction of state-of-the-art, 3D adjustable stainless steel hinges.

Unlike canopy Up & Over garage doors, retractable doors are designed so they are really easy to automate with an electric operator. Retractable gearing means the door panel opens on horizontal tracks running back into the garage. They can be easily automated by fitting a GaraMatic electric operator to the door so the homeowner can open their door by pressing a button on a hand transmitter. GaraMatic operators are expertly engineered to ensure fast and smooth opening and the hand transmitters incorporate bi-directional radio signals which are heavily encrypted for high security. A video explaining the advantages of Garador’s retractable Up and Over doors is available on Garador’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/garador or find out more by calling 01935 443700 or visit www.garador.co.uk www.refurbandrestore.co.uk - 37
