Huet’s wide range of acoustic doors was perfect for the project. The 45 Rw dB ISA DX 43 was fitted in each of the teaching studios to provide exceptional acoustic properties. The performance area with it’s different requirements was fitted with five 41 Rw dB rated Club 39 doorsets. Most doorsets used a single vision panel while three of the performance area doorsets required extra visibility for safety reasons; double vision panels were installed while maintaining their acoustic rating.

BIMM Dublin’s fire rated doorsets for use in public areas were also supplied by Huet. Both acoustic rated doorsets and fire doors were finished in Ash real wood veneer.

Huet is proud to help BIMM Dublin in it’s aim of providing players and songwriters with the facilities to develop and progress as high level musicians.

Algeria’s continued growth as a tourist and business destination has seen demand for hotel accommodation outpace supply. Major international hotel chains are racing to fill the gap with impressive new hotel developments while famous established names are refurbishing facilities to meet the demands of 21st Century tourists and business travellers.

The city of Tlemcen dates back to the Roman Empire, it enjoys a rich history and elegant blend of Arab, Berber, Andalucian and French cultures. Coupled with its cool mountain climate, architecture and urban life Tlemcen has a unique outlook and sophistication. The 5 star Marriott Renaissance Hotel is predicted to become a chic and contemporary addition to Tlemcens tourist facilities when it opens this year.

Huet are supplying a range of doorsets to match the development’s high-class ambience. The 204 guest rooms will be fitted with acoustic and fire rated doors (certified to European standards) with door closer and electromagnetic lock. Corridors will have swinging double doorsets with 60 minute European fire rating and integral locking device.

Meanwhile Algiers famous 5 star Hotel El Aurassi is currently undergoing a €56m (£49m) refit. Again Huet have been selected to supply acoustic doors for the Hotels 416 rooms, 30 suites and the Presidential Suite. Their uniquely flexible production process will enable Huet to fully meet the El Aurassis uncompromising specification: doors with 42 Rw dB acoustic rating and bespoke finish of varnished exotic hardwood veneer.

Huet realised that an increase in both height and width to their fire rated doorsets would give  specifiers much greater flexibility for public building projects such as in the health, education and hotel sectors. With a maximum door leaf height of over 2500mm and a maximum combined door leaf width of 2062mm, the new FD30 and FD60 products represent some of the largest, fully certified timber doorsets for use in corridors as a double acting (swinging) application.

Not content only to improve dimensions, Huets engineers have created some of the most highly configurable fire rated swinging doorsets available in the UK today. They are offered with a choice innovative features:

Holding mechanism linked directly to the fire detection system. Either with visible magnets or an invisible system for areas which might be prone to vandalism, hygiene (health projects) or quite simply for aesthetic reasons.

Locking mechanism. These swinging doors are not just designed to be kept open, they can easily be kept closed with a choice of access controls. They are ideal for use in specific areas either for detained persons or for other reasons of security, allowing access only by specific products such a key fobs, swipe cards, numeric codes etc. The mechanism can be linked directly to the fire detection system so that in the event of a fire it automatically unlocks.

Revised door closer mechanism. Huet engineers found that a closer mechanism pivot placed in the upper crosspiece offers not only a greater level of hygiene control but also aids installation and improves robustness in situ.

Huets new FD30 and FD60 swinging doorsets are of course still available with a choice of fully tested vision panels and finishes including laminates, veneers, tinting, engraving or primed and lacquered.

UK customers such as Accor Hotels have long appreciated the performance, flexibility and design options of Huets fire rated and acoustic rated door sets. Construction companies, architects and acoustic engineers who have previously associated Huet with exotic, high-end products are now finding that the company offers a much larger range of sound proof and fire proof products, to suit differing budgets and requirements.

Several new UK customers including Sky TV, London & Continental Railways, and Mowlem have already specified Huet door sets due to their performance, value and design flexibility.

Tom Moir, UK Sales Manager states, “Over the last eighteen months I’ve met many customers who had pigeon-holed Huet as a manufacturer of only the highest performance acoustic rated and fire rated door sets. I simply showed them our full UK product range – from 51 Rw dB right through to 35 Rw dB sound proof doors plus FD30 and FD60 fire proof doors. They quickly realised that they could specify Huet products on many more projects than they had first thought. Then when I explained that Huet provides more finishing and design options than any other manufacturer of acoustic rated and fire rated door sets, including real wood veneers, vision panels and custom engraving, they really understood the benefits of specifying our door sets.”

Tom is always pleased to show new customers the full range of Huet fire rated and acoustic rated door sets. He can be contacted by email at tmoir@huet.fr.
