Technical Expertise

Glazing & Safety Standards

Safety is non-negotiable. All our installations in Saffron Walden strictly adhere to BS EN 12600 for impact safety. We specialize in Automatic Sliding Door Gear and Powder Coated Finishes (RAL Colours). For high-risk areas, we install laminated glass which holds together even when shattered, maintaining the security of your premises until a full replacement can be fitted.

Door Hardware & Automation

A shopfront is only as good as its operation. We diagnose and replace faulty Curtain Walling Systems and Floor Springs. If your heavy glass door is dragging or slamming, it often indicates a failure in the floor spring mechanism. Our engineers in Saffron Walden carry specialized lifting equipment to safely remove heavy leaves and replace the hydraulic units, restoring smooth, safe operation.

⚠️ Regulatory Compliance in Saffron Walden

Commercial entrances must meet strict UK regulations. We ensure your doors comply with the Equality Act 2010 (DDA Compliance), providing clear opening widths and low-threshold access for wheelchair users. Furthermore, all our powered doors meet BS EN 16005 safety standards, utilizing safety sensors to prevent impact injuries.
