The steel doors were designed into a symmetrical configuration which consists of hinged opening door with a top light. The base of the doors has a solid kick plate which was designed to a height that lined up with the finishing level of the complementing windows on either side.

These high-specification steel doors were completed with a rounded and minimal pull handle to match the architectural design and interior scheme created a specialist glass shopfront; the minimal steel sightlines maintain a modern industrial design whist the thermal break and highly insulated glass ensure the doors achieve high levels of performance.

Steel-framed glazing was used within the glass shopfront to create an industrial theme to the exterior elevation of the retail store, the industrial steel frames not only add to the aesthetic but also allow a huge amount of natural light to flow through the commercial space thanks to the slim metal frames and the large pane sizes of glazing.
