Customers across both
the commercial and residential sectors will be able to enjoy the aesthetic and
practical benefits to the new door options which Steel Window Association (SWA)
member, West Leigh, has added to its range of internal screens.
The steel window
specialist has incorporated a set of the single-glazed W20 doors into an area
of its South London offices, which doubles as a boardroom and a showroom;
providing an ideal opportunity for homeowners, capital's architects and
interior designers to get a feel for the stylish innovation.
Like most SWA members,
West Leigh offers a wide choice of frame sections and configurations, but has
chosen to produce its new pivot and sliding door options using the widely
specified and traditional W20 profiles. These offer a similar slimline steel section
as well as strength and good light transmission, while their galvanised coating
can be finished in any RAL colour.
For the pivot door,
the mechanism is recessed into the floor for a modern minimalist appearance,
while the B1 parting door moves aside on a track, fitted at the head, either in
front or behind (in this case behind) of the fixed frame to greatly reduce the
space taken when opened. Both doors are single glazed using toughened or
laminated safety glass and can be fitted with a variety of handles, including
locking ones if required.
A spokesperson for
West Leigh commented, "The new door options complement our internal
screens and could be a feature used to separate a lounge and dining room; or
installed in places like architects' studios, offices etc."
West Leigh and the SWA
are already receiving interest from homeowners and interior design consultants,
seeking to maximise light and looks when dividing rooms or larger spaces.
