An aluminium shop front system complete with automated sliding doors was adapted by Fentrade Aluminium to create an entrance porch enclosure at a private hospital in Gwent where visitors can sanitise their hands on entry.

The system from Kestrel Aluminium Systems was used along with single-glazed safety screens at St Joseph’s Hospital on Newport for main contractor Crest Glazing Solutions.

Fentrade director Chris Reeks explained: “On a project of this nature, attention to detail was crucial. As such, we made various site visits with our customer to ensure the project ran smoothly throughout.

“We also ensured the door sets were constructed to plan along with various pressings to achieve a finished reveal to the outer area. Internally the doors were wired with automatic opening gearing operated by hand sensors to facilitate the easy access and exit to and from the hospital.”

Tony Bowen of Crest Glazing Solutions added: “This was quite a unique project and followed an exacting brief from the customer. As a result, we designed and fitted the automatic gearing to both internal and external entrance doors, provided touch pads for opening/closing on the doors to ensure they were Covid-safe and delivered a high-quality installation to ensure public safety.”
