The integrated performance doorset solution has been created so that all the components of the doorset (door leaf, frame and performance critical architectural ironmongery) are fit for purpose, work together as a unified product and meet certified performance levels. Because all the components are assembled in a quality controlled factory environment, as opposed to being supplied separately, performance is guaranteed and achieves significantly improved on-site quality along with time savings. This is exactly the same level of improvement we experienced some years ago as we progressed the market from door leaf only to the performance doorset comprising door leaf, frame and hinges.
Sentinel and Safe Hinge is an innovative hand and nger protection solution that allows speciers and architects to achieve outstanding performance, without compromising design or architectural integrity. A biocidally proactive additive is integral to our lacquer nishes that provides protection against harmful bacteria such as E.coli, salmonella and MRSA. It works by preventing the bacteria's access to nutrients so that they starve and die. It does not employ silver technology, rendering it completely UV stable and remains effective for years because of its inherently low water solubility.
Our doorset solutions are available in a huge range of finish options to deliver a unique appearance and aesthetic appeal for the commercial sector. Why Leaderflush Shapland? Leaderflush Shapland understands that every business has different needs. By utilising its technical expertise and experience in the commercial sector it ensures it understands the requirements of its customers and delivers the performance doorsets they require. Leaderflush Shapland take a collaborative approach to work closely with architects, contractors and specifiers to ensure design and performance requirements of the project are met, while complying with relevant Building Standards and Building Regulations legislation for the commercial sector.
Leaderflush Shapland has developed the Leadline range of doorsets providing various levels of X-ray protection while accommodating all the standard Leaderflush Shapland facing options to match our other standard performance door sets. Leadline doorsets incorporate lead sheeting in a range of thicknesses and this protection extends through the door frames, forming an effective barrier to radiation in all directions. Particular care is taken to ensure continuous protection and the lead sheeting is located closer to one door face so that it covers the lock-case.
The following figures give an indication of the Light Reflectance Values (LRVs) of commonly used door face materials and ironmongery finish options. These are indicative* figures based on our initial testing. Taking the below indicative figures as examples, a visual contrast greater than 15 points between door facing and lever handle can be achieved through the use of steamed beech and satin anodised aluminium. Therefore, when specifying door facings and ironmongery it is important to consider LRV differences and how they can be achieved to meet the requirements of BS8300 and Part M. Leaderflush Shapland can provide advice on appropriate materials that achieve the required LRV differences.
Our guidance document aims to act as a companion to the Building Regulations, helping designers to make informed choices and achieve compliance. It considers the Building Regulations for England and Wales. Advice on the Scottish Technical Standards and other jurisdictions is available from Technical Services. This complete online document provides all the information in a digital, searchable, printable format. This site contains information on important Regulations, as well as other standards and documents covering all aspects that have an impact on doors and doorsets, and can be used as a project checklist to ensure full compliance.
With hygiene being such a critical factor across all sectors there could hardly be a better time for Leaderflush Shapland to provide an anti-bacterial finish for infection control in doors and doorsets. The threat of infection exists in all environments, whether it be a hospital, care home, school, hotel or catering establishment. These and other sectors have a real need for protection from bacteria and cross contamination from common items such as walls, doors and floors. Leaderflush Shapland incorporates Hygienilac into the wood lacquer on all veneered doorsets which kills most species of bacteria including C.diff, MRSA, salmonella and E.coli.
