Overview

The Pullman Hotel in Liverpool is located at Kings Dock and is the final piece of the complex on the waterfront with the adjoining the new state of the art Exhibition Centre at ACC Liverpool. The eight-storey hotel features 216 rooms, split across superior, deluxe and executive standards.

C W Fields & Son were commissioned for the manufacture and supply of over 500 bespoke doorset assemblies built to meet the challenging acoustic and fire requirements.

The Solution

Combining high performance sound reduction with fire resistance within a timber doorset is one of the biggest challenges in our industry. At the Pullman hotel it was a necessity for residents to be undisturbed by corridor noise and protected in the event of a fire. The Fields Acoustic Hybrid Doorset was used to meet this challenge, providing a combined acoustic rating of 44 dB with FD30 fire resistance.

The Internal sliding doors provided each room with a bespoke space saving solution, finished with stained and lacquered crown cut oak veneer - a consistent finish through the hotel.

Our sample service was pivotal for the architect in selecting the finish to match the design vision. We were able to provide sample veneer boards which, after project meetings, were refined to match the smoked oak finish the architect required.

Our CNC programmers were able to accurately incorporate the machining of bespoke VingCard locks, hinges, overhead closers, dropseals and spy holes.
