Hart Door Systems has completed a contract to supply a range of doors for a major Tyneside facility that the doors to achieve certain u-values to ensure that building was able to maintain its green credentials. HDS supplied two very large Speedor Maxi doors which are 8m wide x 8m high to enable a production flow through the building to take place immediately adjacent to the river in a very windy environment.

The Speedor Maxis installed have a special foam backing to achieve a U value of 1.44. Insulated Roller shutters are also part of the project using the latest high specification insulated aluminium laths.

Nick Hart, HDS’s technical director says occupiers of commercial property space are being driven by the government to increasingly make buildings more energy efficient. “Further changes in Building Regulations Part L are coming through this year and for this SBEM calculations are required to satisfy compliance and obtain the necessary Energy Performance Certificates. We see the drive for ever onerous green regulations as an opportunity for Hart Door Systems, he says.
