Client Testimonial

The primary factors of our initial brief were usability, contemporary design, budget and security.  Security was of paramount concern due largely to the remote location and to the expensive equipment that is to be stored on site.  Warm protection were involved at the detailed design stage and provided assistance throughout a following period of value engineering to achieve a build cost within budget.  Warm protection offered a bespoke service liaising directly with architect and contractor to agree strategy and achieve excellent results our client is fully satisfied with.

Project Synopsis

Kielder Bike Hire Centre

The Kielder Bike Hire Centre is a detached  ‘log cabin’ style building which is designed to blend in with the natural woodlands surrounding it. This was the deciding factor in the specification of an internal security system.

The security system required to cover door and window openings which had wooden transoms above with glazed panels to ceiling level. WP38mm Resin Filled Roll Formed Aluminium Roller Shutters with high security 40v guide rails were specified to cover the door and window openings. WPCX White Retractable Grilles were specified to cover the glazed panels and were fitted within the reveals.

Somfy manual override motors with switching via group remote control (push to run open/hold to run close) is the operating system used. The remote control option allows entry without a fixed switch to the exterior of the building. The manual override motor facility is to the inside of the building as another entry route is available in the event of a power failure.
