A no-compromise product for every requirement


This project demonstrated the challenges of the modern marketplace. A rising population, facilities at capacity and financial constraints mean doing more for less is key.

To achieve this, Manchester City Council focused on extending and upgrading, rather than complete new builds. The budget was tight — so door safety had to be cost-effective without compromising quality.

 

Alistair Burns, Manchester City Council, said: “The new retrofit Alumini is a practical, durable and aesthetically pleasing option for refurbishments and extensions.”

Safehinge Primera met every challenge at Ashgate and Crossacres head-on. For all new doors, our safe and strong integral Alumax was fitted. For refurbished areas, our hard-wearing retrofit Alumini was the perfect solution. The result? Visual consistency throughout the newly combined school — and complete protection for any curious little fingers.
