Overview:

The Orchard Hotel is a 202 bedroom eco hotel awarded a BREEAM rating of excellent for the use of technology to reduce carbon emissions.

C W Fields & Son were selected to supply bespoke stained oak frames and doors for all of the bedrooms, and oak panelling and cross-corridor doors for high-traffic public areas.

Service and Solution:

Working at the early stages of this project enabled a successful dialogue to be built with the architect and contractor. The supply of a control doorset and wall panelling was an important step in the project, allowing all parties to view and signoff the design before on site work began.

During the project, the specification of the bespoke access control ironmongery produced a specific range of challenges and that’s why our team proactively sanctioned a third party compliance assessment report for its use. This satisfied Building Controls compatibility requirements and ensured the project ran smoothly, without delay.

Acoustic and Fire performance characteristics were of primary importance, hence the innovative design of the Fields Acoustic Hybrid was taken advantage of for the bedroom doors, ensuring outstanding acoustic protection of up to 44 dB paired with FD30 fire resistance.
