Introduction to the Project
This project involved the installation of two Horton 2021+ thermal break bi-part units as part of a wider upgrade to the building’s entrance and screening system. The goal was to enhance energy efficiency, improve user flow, and deliver a robust solution capable of performing reliably in a high-traffic environment.
Why We Used a Horton 2021+ Thermal Break Bi-Part
The Horton 2021+ thermal break bi-part was selected for its superior insulation performance and proven durability. Its thermal break technology helps reduce heat transfer, making it ideal for environments where temperature control and energy efficiency are priorities. Additionally, the bi-part configuration allows for smooth, efficient operation and maximized opening width perfect for facilities that require both accessibility and durability.
Challenges
Conditions on-site were far from ideal: cold, wet, and muddy throughout the installation period. These circumstances created logistical difficulties, slowed material handling, and required extra care to maintain safety and precision. Despite the challenging environment, the team remained focused, adapted procedures as needed, and kept the project on track.
Benefits of Our Product
Improved Energy Efficiency: The thermal break technology minimizes heat loss, contributing to a more stable internal environment and reduced energy consumption.
Enhanced Durability: Built to withstand high usage and harsh external conditions.
Smooth, Reliable Operation: The bi-part mechanism provides efficient motion and improved traffic flow.
Low Maintenance: Designed for long-term performance with minimal upkeep.
Customisable Integration: Easily paired with screens, controls, and existing building systems.
Impact and Results
The successful installation has significantly improved the entrance system’s performance. The building now benefits from better climate control, smoother pedestrian flow, and an overall enhancement to safety and accessibility. Despite poor weather, the team delivered strong results, showcasing resilience, precision, and commitment to quality. The project sets a positive tone for the work ahead and reflects our dedication to delivering high-performing solutions under any conditions.
