CUSTOMER CASE

Upgrading pupil safety & security at Silverstone Primary School with SMARTec Door sets

“ASSA ABLOY UK Specification not only supplied high quality and fit-for-purpose products, but they also provided a full consultancy service, which took into account factors such as pupil comfort, flow of traffic around the school, as well as the need for staff to access certain areas of the building efficiently and securely. We are delighted with the finished result.” Chris Wayman Associate pHp Architects

Challenge

The new Silverstone CE Primary School construction project was combination of the existing Infant and Junior Schools, built on a site at the edge of Silverstone village. The finished building was to be aesthetically striking as well as in keeping with the school’s surroundings. Products specified had to be fully compliant and tailored to the needs of the pupils and staff that would be using the building daily. 

Solution

Working alongside Northamptonshire County Council, local firm pHp Architects and contractor Lakehouse Construction, the UK Specification team specified 92 ASSA ABLOY Security Doors' SMARTec high performance timber doorsets, complete with laminatefacing, redwood frames and dark grey PVC edges, making them easy to clean and to help conceal scuffs from daily use.
