ALPRO SQUARES THE CIRCLE
» » IDF ALUMINIUM HAS
installed transom closers,
solenoid locks, and hook
locks from Alpro Architectural
Hardware at a building in a
historic section of London’s
Finsbury Square.
4 Chiswell Street backs onto
the Artillery Ground which has
seen archery in Tudor times,
some of the first organised
games of cricket in the 1730s,
and even a hot-air balloon
flight in 1784.
The four-storey structure was
refurbished by main contractor
Parkeray to a design by Ben
Adams Architects that created
column-free office space with
exposed concrete soffit and a
signature golden mesh & grille
façade based on curtain walling
with bold circles.
The glazing is unusual since
the Reynaers’ curtain walling for
the double-height reception uses
innovative bracketry to support
massive panes from Euroview
Architectural Glass. The Alpro
closers are on the distinctive gilt
exterior doors and the client is
also benefiting from solenoid
bolts in the door heads.
Alpro transverse action
deadlocking bolts offer high
levels of physical strength with
holding forces of up to 2,000kg,
a bolt throw of 14mm and
models with oversize pins.
The advanced microprocessor
module provides power
reduction allowing for
continuous operation without
heat generation as well as
automatic voltage regulation,
dual monitoring and access
control features to fully monitor
and control movement.
Installers can use housings
from the same series for surface
mounting which facilitates the
securing of glass doors. Dress
plates are offered for a clean
finish.
The 4 Chiswell Street
refurbishment was carried out
with tenants in occupation and
even involved use of abseiling
techniques to replace glazing.
A temporary reception was
created for access and egress.
Daylight has been maximised
and floor-to-ceiling height is
used wherever possible in a
design that meets the Equality
Act and includes a revised fire
strategy.
IDF specializes in the design,
manufacture and installation
of aluminium doors. The door
projects are often in business
and public sector environments
where usage may be high, but
maintenance costs must be
minimised.
IDF has 30 years’ experience
in the shop front and
commercial door market. The
company ensures a quality
service by designing and
fabricating all of its doors and
shop fronts in-house with no
use of sub-contractors. The
client portfolio covers transport,
local government, healthcare
and education from schools
through to universities.
