Christchurch in Teddington Middlesex was founded in 1864 and was a place of worship for over 150 years. In 2015 it was purchased by Renaissance Design & Build for conversion in to 6 luxury apartments. The extensive refurbishment has included a complete modernisation including a spiral staircase, roof garden and much more. One of the many challenges was ensuring the building was upgraded to current building regulations and that compartmentation was introduced into what was originally an open area for the congregation. The Renaissance team engaged the Promat glass team to provide the best technical and aesthetic solution for each area of the building.

Walls Of Glass longstanding Promat Approved Installers have recently completed the fire rated glazed atrium at a brand new 60-unit extra care home in Grimsby. Working with the architects, Watson Batty and main contractor ESH Construction; Walls Of Glass chose Promat SYSTEMGLAS® Ligna EI60 system as their system of choice.

Promat is proud to announce the launch of PYROSEC® SLIMLITE, our new product range of steel EI30 and EI60 doors and screens. PYROSEC® SLIMLITE is the latest development in our PYROSEC® door range. The glass area is maximised using our super4slim 20mm frame section. Along with 25mm stiles and 90mm rails, this is one of the most slimline doors available in the UK.

Fire door manufacturers seeking to eliminate the risk of inappropriate or unproven materials inadvertently creeping into their supply chain can take advantage of a range of technically advanced materials and expert passive fire protection support under one roof from Promat UK.

With so much confusion and uncertainty prevailing about how to deliver assured fire protection, it is worth remembering that two factors matter more than most when making design and specification choices – product testing and traceability.

Ian Cowley, Regional Director at fire, thermal and acoustic specialist Promat UK, explains why scrutinising the origin of components and raw materials and how they are produced, combined with a thorough understanding of where any supply chain risks lie, is crucial to delivering assurance and peace of mind to fire door customers.
