Neon lights and signs are traditionally associated with
advertising for shops, bars and restaurants, but are now
becoming increasingly popular as a form of statement lighting
or art for homes and businesses alike. They are a way of
bringing originality and personality to virtually any interior
space.
Neon Creations are specialists in creating unique one-off
pieces of custom made neon artwork, offering recreations
of logo’s, brand names, favourite sayings, and images and
shapes.
BRIO: ARRIVAL OF DOCUMENT Q
GUARANTEES QUALITY AND SECURITY
17
David Newton, General Manager at Brio
UK, the leading global door hardware
manufacturer for bi-folding and straight
sliding external doors and windows welcomes the advent of
Document Q legislation which includes guidelines for doors
and windows in new build dwellings.
Our team is passionate about making neon lighting - it is not
just a job to us. With all design and manufacture undertaken
in-house in our UK workshop, we are able to offer assurances
of high quality materials and workmanship.
Building quality into sliding and folding door architectural
hardware is essential if manufacturers want to pass on peace
of mind to architects, architectural ironmongers specifiers
and installers – and ultimately end users. To achieve this
independent quality accreditation is supremely important for
the whole supply chain.
Many of our clients are in the restaurant, bar and hotel
sectors, with a custom made neon sign being an obvious
choice for not only attracting customers to the premises (it’s
a well known fact that the human eye is drawn to light!), but
also for making the décor unique and personal to them.
So it is extremely positive that Document Q legislation
pertaining to the security of new build comes into force on
1 October and will ensure only the best and most robust
materials can be used in the manufacture of sliding and bifolding doors and windows.

The Ins and Outs of a Revolving Door
18
The chances are as a pedestrian and a
building user, you’ve been through a
few revolving doors in your lifetime.
The revolving door is a common sight
amongst larger commercial buildings and in many places
where there is a high foot fall.
19
The revolving door, usually consists of three or four doors
known as wings which are spaced at an eqi-distance from
each other around a central shaft. These wings rotate in a
circle inside of a cylinder. The size of the cylinder can vary
from small, allowing for just enough space for a single user
to a larger size which allows enough room for several people,
pushchairs or luggage to fit in.
