Overview:

The London School of Economics (LSE) is one of the most prestigious social science institutions in the world. Working on this historic building, saw the requirement to upgrade the character doorsets to meet current fire safety legislation.

The challenging brief centred on keeping the feel and consistency of the beautiful existing panelled doors whilst also upgrading the fire resistance. Using our Fields Panel Doorset, we were able to put forward a solution which adhered to these requirements and crucially the FD30 fire rating.

Scope of Works:

The project involved the manufacture and supply of oak panelled doorsets with bespoke copper light glazing panels as well as accompanying oak screens.

Prior to manufacture, our team were on site for several days surveying openings to enable the detailed CAD drawings to be produced by our technicians.

Ensuring the finish complimented the existing period surroundings was paramount, hence our project manager worked tirelessly to source oak veneer, which would be in keeping with the building.

The end finish was spectacular, and a fine example of our support teams working together to meet the customers’ requirements.
