Total Glass win Product of the Year at Builder & Engineer Awards

Total Glass, a supplier on the Fusion21 frameworks has received another accolade for its highly-acclaimed Aluminium Security Communal Entrance Door by winning the Product/Innovation of the Year category in the 7th annual Builder & Engineer Awards 2010.

Total Glass introduced the heavy-gauge aluminium doors in response to a market need for a more aesthetically-pleasing and robust security door for multiple occupancy residential properties.

“Winning this award on top of a Finalist placing is just further proof of the product’s uniqueness and how it fits the market need perfectly,” comments Paul Ierston, Managing Director. “We’re delighted to receive this award, which reinforces our firm belief in an innovative product that the market was waiting for.”

Total Glass is currently carrying out a number of pilot communal door installations for housing associations and social housing providers throughout the North West. Capable of withstanding the toughest inner-city locations, the doors come with a choice of locking systems - secure electronic solenoid bolt locks linking to video and entry phone systems or electro magnetic locks.

Thermal efficiency is much improved due to the door’s thermally-broken construction, which can achieve low U-values depending on glass specification. This greatly improves heat retention within communal areas, reducing heating bills and carbon emissions.

Helen Cooper, Head of Procurement & Supply Chain at Fusion21 added, “We are extremely pleased to see one of our suppliers gaining acknowledgement for such and innovative and effective product. These doors provided by Total Glass will be available to our clients through our Windows & Doors framework”.
