Door Industry Journal - Spring 2014

ECO DOORS FOR FUTURE BUSINESS CENTRE Jewers Doors recently installed its environmentally friendly Osprey doors at the newly opened Future Business Centre in Cambridge. Run by a charitable organisation, the centre provides a home for early-stage social enterprises and ‘cleantech’ businesses. Jewers Doors worked closely with multi-national construction company, Interserve plc, throughout the design and construction phase of the project to install four multi- coloured five-leaf Osprey doors. The fifth leaf is fitted with locking furniture and can be used as a full-height pass door for small deliveries, while the whole door can be opened fully for larger goods. The highly durable and easily maintained Osprey doors from the Jewers Doors’ Phoenix range have a number of environmentally friendly features. The flat panel construction provides class-leading thermal insulation, while weathertight seals reduce heat and air loss and the doors have been laboratory tested to reduce noise by 25dB. After a long life expectancy in excess of 30 years, more than 80 per cent of the door can be recycled. Jewers Doors remains the leading supplier of insulated sliding and folding doors within the UK.

The doors are capable of withstanding the effects of 100kg TNT explosions at both 45m and 25m. The testing was carried out in accordance with the US General Services Administration, International Standards Organisation (ISO) and Bomb Blast Standards. Blast gauges were used to measure the blast pressures and the blast loading for each test. As a result, the range meets or exceeds GSA (C) and ISO EXV 45 and ISO EXV 25 standards.
